# JSHandle class
Represents a reference to a JavaScript object. Instances can be created using [Page.evaluateHandle()](./puppeteer.page.evaluatehandle.md).
Handles prevent the referenced JavaScript object from being garbage-collected unless the handle is purposely [disposed](./puppeteer.jshandle.dispose.md). JSHandles are auto-disposed when their associated frame is navigated away or the parent context gets destroyed.
Handles can be used as arguments for any evaluation function such as [Page.$eval()](./puppeteer.page._eval.md), [Page.evaluate()](./puppeteer.page.evaluate.md), and [Page.evaluateHandle()](./puppeteer.page.evaluatehandle.md). They are resolved to their referenced object.
#### Signature:
```typescript
export declare abstract class JSHandle<T = unknown>
```
## Remarks
The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the `JSHandle` class.
## Example
```ts
const windowHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => window);
```

## Methods
| Method | Modifiers | Description |
| -------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [asElement](./puppeteer.jshandle.aselement.md) | | Either <code>null</code> or the handle itself if the handle is an instance of [ElementHandle](./puppeteer.elementhandle.md). |
| [dispose](./puppeteer.jshandle.dispose.md) | | Releases the object referenced by the handle for garbage collection. |
| [evaluate](./puppeteer.jshandle.evaluate.md) | | Evaluates the given function with the current handle as its first argument. |
| [evaluateHandle](./puppeteer.jshandle.evaluatehandle.md) | | Evaluates the given function with the current handle as its first argument. |
| [getProperties](./puppeteer.jshandle.getproperties.md) | | Gets a map of handles representing the properties of the current handle. |
| [getProperty](./puppeteer.jshandle.getproperty.md) | | Fetches a single property from the referenced object. |
| [getProperty](./puppeteer.jshandle.getproperty_1.md) | | |
| [jsonValue](./puppeteer.jshandle.jsonvalue.md) | | A vanilla object representing the serializable portions of the referenced object. |
| [remoteObject](./puppeteer.jshandle.remoteobject.md) | | Provides access to the [Protocol.Runtime.RemoteObject](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Runtime/#type-RemoteObject) backing this handle. |
| [toString](./puppeteer.jshandle.tostring.md) | | Returns a string representation of the JSHandle. |
