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

ParameterTypeDescription
pageFunctionFunc | string
argsParams

Promise<HandleFor<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>>

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() for more details.
