# 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);
```
