## Frame class
At every point of time, page exposes its current frame tree via the [page.mainFrame](./puppeteer.page.mainframe.md) and [frame.childFrames](./puppeteer.frame.childframes.md) methods.
Signature:
```typescript
export declare class Frame
```
## Remarks
`Frame` object lifecycles are controlled by three events that are all dispatched on the page object:
- [PageEmittedEvents.FrameAttached](./puppeteer.pageemittedevents.frameattached.md)
- [PageEmittedEvents.FrameNavigated](./puppeteer.pageemittedevents.framenavigated.md)
- [PageEmittedEvents.FrameDetached](./puppeteer.pageemittedevents.framedetached.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
An example of dumping frame tree:
```js
const puppeteer = require('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 2
An example of getting text from an iframe element:
```js
const frame = page.frames().find(frame => frame.name() === 'myframe');
const text = await frame.$eval('.selector', element => element.textContent);
console.log(text);
```

| [$$eval(selector, pageFunction, args)](./puppeteer.frame.__eval.md) | | |
| [$eval(selector, pageFunction, args)](./puppeteer.frame._eval.md) | | |
| [$x(expression)](./puppeteer.frame._x.md) | | This method evaluates the given XPath expression and returns the results. |
| [addScriptTag(options)](./puppeteer.frame.addscripttag.md) | | Adds a <script> tag into the page with the desired url or content. |
| [addStyleTag(options)](./puppeteer.frame.addstyletag.md) | | Adds a <link rel="stylesheet"> tag into the page with the desired url or a <style type="text/css"> tag with the content. |
| [childFrames()](./puppeteer.frame.childframes.md) | | |
| [click(selector, options)](./puppeteer.frame.click.md) | | This method clicks the first element found that matches selector. |
| [content()](./puppeteer.frame.content.md) | | |
| [evaluate(pageFunction, args)](./puppeteer.frame.evaluate.md) | | |
| [evaluateHandle(pageFunction, args)](./puppeteer.frame.evaluatehandle.md) | | |

| [goto(url, options)](./puppeteer.frame.goto.md) | | |
| [hover(selector)](./puppeteer.frame.hover.md) | | This method fetches an element with selector, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [Page.mouse](./puppeteer.page.mouse.md) to hover over the center of the element. |
| [isDetached()](./puppeteer.frame.isdetached.md) | | |
| [name()](./puppeteer.frame.name.md) | | |
| [parentFrame()](./puppeteer.frame.parentframe.md) | | |
| [select(selector, values)](./puppeteer.frame.select.md) | | Triggers a change and input event once all the provided options have been selected. |

| [tap(selector)](./puppeteer.frame.tap.md) | | This method fetches an element with selector, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [Page.touchscreen](./puppeteer.page.touchscreen.md) to tap in the center of the element. |
| [title()](./puppeteer.frame.title.md) | | |
| [type(selector, text, options)](./puppeteer.frame.type.md) | | Sends a keydown, keypress/input, and keyup event for each character in the text. |
