# WebWorker.evaluateHandle() method
The only difference between `worker.evaluate` and `worker.evaluateHandle` is that `worker.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle). If the function passed to the `worker.evaluateHandle` returns a `Promise`, then `worker.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value. Shortcut for `await worker.executionContext()).evaluateHandle(pageFunction, ...args)`
#### Signature:
```typescript
class WebWorker {
evaluateHandle<
Params extends unknown[],
Func extends EvaluateFunc<Params> = EvaluateFunc<Params>
>(
pageFunction: Func | string,
...args: Params
): Promise<HandleFor<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>>;
}
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| ------------ | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| pageFunction | Func \| string | Function to be evaluated in the page context. |
| args | Params | Arguments to pass to <code>pageFunction</code>. |
**Returns:**
Promise&lt;[HandleFor](./puppeteer.handlefor.md)&lt;Awaited&lt;ReturnType&lt;Func&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`.
