# ElementHandle.$eval() method

This method runs `document.querySelector` within the element and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

If `pageFunction` returns a Promise, then `frame.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

**Signature:**

```typescript
class ElementHandle {
  $eval<
    Selector extends keyof HTMLElementTagNameMap,
    Params extends unknown[],
    Func extends EvaluateFunc<
      [HTMLElementTagNameMap[Selector], ...Params]
    > = EvaluateFunc<[HTMLElementTagNameMap[Selector], ...Params]>
  >(
    selector: Selector,
    pageFunction: Func | string,
    ...args: Params
  ): Promise<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>;
}
```

## Parameters

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

**Returns:**

Promise&lt;Awaited&lt;ReturnType&lt;Func&gt;&gt;&gt;

## Example

```ts
const tweetHandle = await page.$('.tweet');
expect(await tweetHandle.$eval('.like', node => node.innerText)).toBe('100');
expect(await tweetHandle.$eval('.retweets', node => node.innerText)).toBe('10');
```
