# Page.$$eval() method
This method returns all elements matching the selector and passes the resulting array as the first argument to the `pageFunction`.
#### Signature:
```typescript
class Page {
$$eval<
Selector extends string,
Params extends unknown[],
Func extends EvaluateFuncWith<
Array<NodeFor<Selector>>,
Params
> = EvaluateFuncWith<Array<NodeFor<Selector>>, Params>,
>(
selector: Selector,
pageFunction: Func | string,
...args: Params
): Promise<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>;
}
```

Selector

[selector](https://pptr.dev/guides/page-interactions#query-selectors) to query page for. [CSS selectors](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors) can be passed as-is and a [Puppeteer-specific seletor syntax](https://pptr.dev/guides/page-interactions#p-selectors) allows quering by [text](https://pptr.dev/guides/page-interactions#text-selectors--p-text), [a11y role and name](https://pptr.dev/guides/page-interactions#aria-selectors--p-aria), and [xpath](https://pptr.dev/guides/page-interactions#xpath-selectors--p-xpath) and [combining these queries across shadow roots](https://pptr.dev/guides/page-interactions#-and--combinators). Alternatively, you can specify a selector type using a prefix [prefix](https://pptr.dev/guides/page-interactions#built-in-selectors).

**Returns:**
Promise&lt;Awaited&lt;ReturnType&lt;Func&gt;&gt;&gt;
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 `pageFunction` returns a promise `$$eval` will wait for the promise to resolve and then return its value.
## Example 1
```ts
// get the amount of divs on the page
const divCount = await page.$$eval('div', divs => divs.length);
// get the text content of all the `.options` elements:
const options = await page.$$eval('div > span.options', options => {
return options.map(option => option.textContent);
});
```
If you are using TypeScript, you may have to provide an explicit type to the first argument of the `pageFunction`. By default it is typed as `Element[]`, but you may need to provide a more specific sub-type:
## Example 2
```ts
await page.$$eval('input', elements => {
return elements.map(e => e.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 `$$eval`:
## Example 3
```ts
const allInputValues = await page.$$eval('input', elements =>
elements.map(e => e.textContent)
);
```
