# JSHandle.evaluateHandle() method

This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.

**Signature:**

```typescript
class JSHandle {evaluateHandle<Params extends unknown[], Func extends EvaluateFunc<[this, ...Params]> = EvaluateFunc<[
        this,
        ...Params
    ]>>(pageFunction: Func | string, ...args: Params): Promise<HandleFor<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>>;}
```

## Parameters

|  Parameter | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
|  pageFunction | Func \| string |  |
|  args | Params |  |

**Returns:**

Promise&lt;[HandleFor](./puppeteer.handlefor.md)&lt;Awaited&lt;ReturnType&lt;Func&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

## Remarks

The only difference between `jsHandle.evaluate` and `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` is that `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` returns an in-page object (JSHandle).

If the function passed to `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` returns a Promise, then `evaluateHandle.evaluateHandle` waits for the promise to resolve and returns its value.

See [Page.evaluateHandle()](./puppeteer.page.evaluatehandle.md) for more details.
