# Page.tap() method

This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [Page.touchscreen](./puppeteer.page.md#touchscreen) to tap in the center of the element. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

#### Signature:

```typescript
class Page {
  tap(selector: string): Promise<void>;
}
```
