**Returns:**

|
|
|
Promise<[HandleFor](./puppeteer.handlefor.md)<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>>
|
|
|
|
## Remarks
|
|
|
|
The only difference between [page.evaluate](./puppeteer.page.evaluate.md) and `page.evaluateHandle` is that `evaluateHandle` will return the value wrapped in an in-page object.
|
|
|
|
If the function passed to `page.evaluateHandle` returns a Promise, the function will wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
|
|
|
|
You can pass a string instead of a function (although functions are recommended as they are easier to debug and use with TypeScript):
|
|
|
|
## Example 1
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle('document');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example 2
|
|
|
|
[JSHandle](./puppeteer.jshandle.md) instances can be passed as arguments to the `pageFunction`:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => document.body);
|
|
const resultHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(body => body.innerHTML, aHandle);
|
|
console.log(await resultHandle.jsonValue());
|
|
await resultHandle.dispose();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Most of the time this function returns a [JSHandle](./puppeteer.jshandle.md), but if `pageFunction` returns a reference to an element, you instead get an [ElementHandle](./puppeteer.elementhandle.md) back:
|
|
|
|
## Example 3
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const button = await page.evaluateHandle(() =>
|
|
document.querySelector('button')
|
|
);
|
|
// can call `click` because `button` is an `ElementHandle`
|
|
await button.click();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The TypeScript definitions assume that `evaluateHandle` returns a `JSHandle`, but if you know it's going to return an `ElementHandle`, pass it as the generic argument:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const button = await page.evaluateHandle<ElementHandle>(...);
|
|
```
