# JSHandle class
|
|
|
|
Represents a reference to a JavaScript object. Instances can be created using [Page.evaluateHandle()](./puppeteer.page.evaluatehandle.md).
|
|
|
|
Handles prevent the referenced JavaScript object from being garbage-collected unless the handle is purposely [disposed](./puppeteer.jshandle.dispose.md). JSHandles are auto-disposed when their associated frame is navigated away or the parent context gets destroyed.
|
|
|
|
Handles can be used as arguments for any evaluation function such as [Page.$eval()](./puppeteer.page._eval.md), [Page.evaluate()](./puppeteer.page.evaluate.md), and [Page.evaluateHandle()](./puppeteer.page.evaluatehandle.md). They are resolved to their referenced object.
|
|
|
|
#### Signature:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
export declare class JSHandle<T = unknown>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Remarks
|
|
|
|
The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the `JSHandle` class.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const windowHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => window);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

| [evaluateHandle(pageFunction, args)](./puppeteer.jshandle.evaluatehandle.md) | | Evaluates the given function with the current handle as its first argument. |
|
|
| [getProperties()](./puppeteer.jshandle.getproperties.md) | | Gets a map of handles representing the properties of the current handle. |
|
|
| [getProperty(propertyName)](./puppeteer.jshandle.getproperty.md) | | Fetches a single property from the referenced object. |
|
|
| [getProperty(propertyName)](./puppeteer.jshandle.getproperty_1.md) | | |
|
|

|
|
| [jsonValue()](./puppeteer.jshandle.jsonvalue.md) | | A vanilla object representing the serializable portions of the referenced object. |
|
|
