## Page.$eval() method
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This method runs `document.querySelector` within the page and passes the result as the first argument to the `pageFunction`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<b>Signature:</b>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```typescript
|
||
|
|
$eval<ReturnType>(selector: string, pageFunction: (element: Element, ...args: unknown[]) => ReturnType | Promise<ReturnType>, ...args: SerializableOrJSHandle[]): Promise<WrapElementHandle<ReturnType>>;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Parameters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|
||
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||
|
|
| selector | string | the [selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors) to query for |
|
||
|
|
| pageFunction | (element: Element, ...args: unknown\[\]) => ReturnType \| Promise<ReturnType> | the function to be evaluated in the page context. Will be passed the result of <code>document.querySelector(selector)</code> as its first argument. |
|
||
|
|
| args | [SerializableOrJSHandle](./puppeteer.serializableorjshandle.md)\[\] | any additional arguments to pass through to <code>pageFunction</code>. |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<b>Returns:</b>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Promise<[WrapElementHandle](./puppeteer.wrapelementhandle.md)<ReturnType>>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The result of calling `pageFunction`. If it returns an element it is wrapped in an [ElementHandle](./puppeteer.elementhandle.md), else the raw value itself is returned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Remarks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If no element is found matching `selector`, the method will throw an error.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If `pageFunction` returns a promise `$eval` will wait for the promise to resolve and then return its value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example 1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
const searchValue = await page.$eval('#search', el => el.value);
|
||
|
|
const preloadHref = await page.$eval('link[rel=preload]', el => el.href);
|
||
|
|
const html = await page.$eval('.main-container', el => el.outerHTML);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
If you are using TypeScript, you may have to provide an explicit type to the first argument of the `pageFunction`. By default it is typed as `Element`, but you may need to provide a more specific sub-type:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example 2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
// if you don't provide HTMLInputElement here, TS will error
|
||
|
|
// as `value` is not on `Element`
|
||
|
|
const searchValue = await page.$eval('#search', (el: HTMLInputElement) => el.value);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
The compiler should be able to infer the return type from the `pageFunction` you provide. If it is unable to, you can use the generic type to tell the compiler what return type you expect from `$eval`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example 3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
// The compiler can infer the return type in this case, but if it can't
|
||
|
|
// or if you want to be more explicit, provide it as the generic type.
|
||
|
|
const searchValue = await page.$eval<string>(
|
||
|
|
'#search', (el: HTMLInputElement) => el.value
|
||
|
|
);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
