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:

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

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
selectorSelector
pageFunctionFunc | string

Returns:

Promise<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>

Example

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');
