# Page.$$eval() method
|
|
|
|
This method runs `Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector))` within the page and passes the result as the first argument to the `pageFunction`.
|
|
|
|
#### Signature:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
class Page {
|
|
$$eval<
|
|
Selector extends string,
|
|
Params extends unknown[],
|
|
Func extends EvaluateFuncWith<
|
|
Array<NodeFor<Selector>>,
|
|
Params
|
|
> = EvaluateFuncWith<Array<NodeFor<Selector>>, Params>
|
|
>(
|
|
selector: Selector,
|
|
pageFunction: Func | string,
|
|
...args: Params
|
|
): Promise<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|
|
| ------------ | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
| selector | Selector | the [selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors) to query for |
|
|
| pageFunction | Func \| string | the function to be evaluated in the page context. Will be passed the result of <code>Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector))</code> as its first argument. |
|
|
| args | Params | any additional arguments to pass through to <code>pageFunction</code>. |
|
|
|
|
**Returns:**
|
|
|
|
Promise<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>
|
|
|
|
The result of calling `pageFunction`. If it returns an element it is wrapped in an [ElementHandle](./puppeteer.elementhandle.md), else the raw value itself is returned.
|
|
|
|
## Remarks
|
|
|
|
If `pageFunction` returns a promise `$$eval` will wait for the promise to resolve and then return its value.
|
|
|
|
## Example 1
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
// get the amount of divs on the page
|
|
const divCount = await page.$$eval('div', divs => divs.length);
|
|
|
|
// get the text content of all the `.options` elements:
|
|
const options = await page.$$eval('div > span.options', options => {
|
|
return options.map(option => option.textContent);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are using TypeScript, you may have to provide an explicit type to the first argument of the `pageFunction`. By default it is typed as `Element[]`, but you may need to provide a more specific sub-type:
|
|
|
|
## Example 2
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
// if you don't provide HTMLInputElement here, TS will error
|
|
// as `value` is not on `Element`
|
|
await page.$$eval('input', (elements: HTMLInputElement[]) => {
|
|
return elements.map(e => e.value);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The compiler should be able to infer the return type from the `pageFunction` you provide. If it is unable to, you can use the generic type to tell the compiler what return type you expect from `$$eval`:
|
|
|
|
## Example 3
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
// The compiler can infer the return type in this case, but if it can't
|
|
// or if you want to be more explicit, provide it as the generic type.
|
|
const allInputValues = await page.$$eval<string[]>(
|
|
'input',
|
|
(elements: HTMLInputElement[]) => elements.map(e => e.textContent)
|
|
);
|
|
```
