## JSHandle.evaluateHandle() method
This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
Signature:
```typescript
evaluateHandle(pageFunction: Function | string, ...args: unknown[]): Promise;
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| pageFunction | Function \| string | |
| args | unknown\[\] | |
Returns:
Promise<[JSHandle](./puppeteer.jshandle.md)>
## Remarks
The only difference between `evaluateHandle.evaluate` and `evaluateHandle.evaluateHandle` is that `executionContext.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function passed to the `evaluateHandle.evaluateHandle` returns a Promise, then `evaluateHandle.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
See [Page.evaluateHandle()](./puppeteer.page.evaluatehandle.md) for more details.
