# Page.waitForSelector() method
|
|
|
|
Wait for the `selector` to appear in page. If at the moment of calling the method the `selector` already exists, the method will return immediately. If the `selector` doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.
|
|
|
|
This method works across navigations:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
|
|
(async () => {
|
|
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
|
|
const page = await browser.newPage();
|
|
let currentURL;
|
|
page
|
|
.waitForSelector('img')
|
|
.then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));
|
|
for (currentURL of [
|
|
'https://example.com',
|
|
'https://google.com',
|
|
'https://bbc.com',
|
|
]) {
|
|
await page.goto(currentURL);
|
|
}
|
|
await browser.close();
|
|
})();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Signature:**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
class Page {waitForSelector<Selector extends keyof HTMLElementTagNameMap>(selector: Selector, options?: Exclude<WaitForSelectorOptions, 'root'>): Promise<ElementHandle<HTMLElementTagNameMap[Selector]> | null>;}
|
