chore: commit base new-docs (#5973) This adds the new docs that are generated by API Extractor via TSDoc. They are sparse because we do not yet use TSDoc in the codebase. This is the starting point and from here we can work through all the different classes and improve the documentation. 2020-06-04 14:56:45 +00:00			`<!-- Do not edit this file.

feat(types): add types for `$eval` (#6135) This pulls in the types (based on the DefinitelyTyped repo) for `page.$eval` (and the `$eval` method on other classes). The `$eval` method is quite hard to type due to the way we wrap and unwrap ElementHandles that are passed to / returned from the `pageFunction` that users provide. Longer term we can improve the types by providing type overloads as DefinitelyTyped does but I've deferred that for now (see the `TODO` in the code for more details). 2020-07-02 09:09:34 +00:00			`asElement(): ElementHandle<ElementType> \| null;`
