JSHandle |
Represents a reference to a JavaScript object. Instances can be created using Page.evaluateHandle().
Handles prevent the referenced JavaScript object from being garbage-collected unless the handle is purposely disposed. JSHandles are auto-disposed when their associated frame is navigated away or the parent context gets destroyed.
Handles can be used as arguments for any evaluation function such as Page.$eval(), Page.evaluate(), and Page.evaluateHandle(). They are resolved to their referenced object.
Signature:
export declare class JSHandle<T = unknown>The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the JSHandle class.
