# Frame class
Represents a DOM frame.
To understand frames, you can think of frames as `<iframe>` elements. Just like iframes, frames can be nested, and when JavaScript is executed in a frame, the JavaScript does not effect frames inside the ambient frame the JavaScript executes in.
#### Signature:
```typescript
export declare class Frame extends EventEmitter
```
**Extends:** [EventEmitter](./puppeteer.eventemitter.md)
## Remarks
Frame lifecycles are controlled by three events that are all dispatched on the parent [page](./puppeteer.frame.page.md):
- [PageEmittedEvents.FrameAttached](./puppeteer.pageemittedevents.md) - [PageEmittedEvents.FrameNavigated](./puppeteer.pageemittedevents.md) - [PageEmittedEvents.FrameDetached](./puppeteer.pageemittedevents.md)
The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the `Frame` class.
## Example 1
At any point in time, [pages](./puppeteer.page.md) expose their current frame tree via the [Page.mainFrame()](./puppeteer.page.mainframe.md) and [Frame.childFrames()](./puppeteer.frame.childframes.md) methods.
## Example 2
An example of dumping frame tree:
```ts
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html');
dumpFrameTree(page.mainFrame(), '');
await browser.close();
function dumpFrameTree(frame, indent) {
console.log(indent + frame.url());
for (const child of frame.childFrames()) {
dumpFrameTree(child, indent + ' ');
}
}
})();
```
## Example 3
An example of getting text from an iframe element:
```ts
const frame = page.frames().find(frame => frame.name() === 'myframe');
const text = await frame.$eval('.selector', element => element.textContent);
console.log(text);
```
## Methods
| Method | Modifiers | Description |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [$(selector)](./puppeteer.frame._.md) | | Queries the frame for an element matching the given selector. |
| [$$(selector)](./puppeteer.frame.__.md) | | Queries the frame for all elements matching the given selector. |
| [$$eval(selector, pageFunction, args)](./puppeteer.frame.__eval.md) | | <p>Runs the given function on an array of elements matching the given selector in the frame.</p><p>If the given function returns a promise, then this method will wait till the promise resolves.</p> |
| [$eval(selector, pageFunction, args)](./puppeteer.frame._eval.md) | | <p>Runs the given function on the first element matching the given selector in the frame.</p><p>If the given function returns a promise, then this method will wait till the promise resolves.</p> |
| [$x(expression)](./puppeteer.frame._x.md) | | |
| [addScriptTag(options)](./puppeteer.frame.addscripttag.md) | | Adds a <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> tag into the page with the desired url or content. |
| [addStyleTag(options)](./puppeteer.frame.addstyletag.md) | | Adds a <code>&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot;&gt;</code> tag into the page with the desired URL or a <code>&lt;style type=&quot;text/css&quot;&gt;</code> tag with the content. |
| [addStyleTag(options)](./puppeteer.frame.addstyletag_1.md) | | |
| [childFrames()](./puppeteer.frame.childframes.md) | | An array of child frames. |
| [click(selector, options)](./puppeteer.frame.click.md) | | Clicks the first element found that matches <code>selector</code>. |
| [content()](./puppeteer.frame.content.md) | | The full HTML contents of the frame, including the DOCTYPE. |
| [evaluate(pageFunction, args)](./puppeteer.frame.evaluate.md) | | Behaves identically to [Page.evaluate()](./puppeteer.page.evaluate.md) except it's run within the the context of this frame. |
| [evaluateHandle(pageFunction, args)](./puppeteer.frame.evaluatehandle.md) | | Behaves identically to [Page.evaluateHandle()](./puppeteer.page.evaluatehandle.md) except it's run within the context of this frame. |
| [focus(selector)](./puppeteer.frame.focus.md) | | Focuses the first element that matches the <code>selector</code>. |
| [goto(url, options)](./puppeteer.frame.goto.md) | | Navigates a frame to the given url. |
| [hover(selector)](./puppeteer.frame.hover.md) | | Hovers the pointer over the center of the first element that matches the <code>selector</code>. |
| [isDetached()](./puppeteer.frame.isdetached.md) | | Is<code>true</code> if the frame has been detached. Otherwise, <code>false</code>. |
| [isOOPFrame()](./puppeteer.frame.isoopframe.md) | | Is <code>true</code> if the frame is an out-of-process (OOP) frame. Otherwise, <code>false</code>. |
| [locator(selector)](./puppeteer.frame.locator.md) | | Creates a locator for the provided selector. See [Locator](./puppeteer.locator.md) for details and supported actions. |
| [locator(func)](./puppeteer.frame.locator_1.md) | | Creates a locator for the provided function. See [Locator](./puppeteer.locator.md) for details and supported actions. |
| [name()](./puppeteer.frame.name.md) | | The frame's <code>name</code> attribute as specified in the tag. |
| [page()](./puppeteer.frame.page.md) | | The page associated with the frame. |
