method Page.prototype.evaluate
Re-export
import { Page } from "https://deno.land/x/fresh@1.2.0/tests/deps.ts";

Evaluates a function in the page's context and returns the result.

If the function passed to page.evaluteHandle returns a Promise, the function will wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples

Example 1

const result = await frame.evaluate(() => {
  return Promise.resolve(8 * 7);
});
console.log(result); // prints "56"

You can pass a string instead of a function (although functions are recommended as they are easier to debug and use with TypeScript):

Example 2

const aHandle = await page.evaluate('1 + 2');

To get the best TypeScript experience, you should pass in as the generic the type of pageFunction:

const aHandle = await page.evaluate(() => 2);

ElementHandle instances (including JSHandles) can be passed as arguments to the pageFunction:

const bodyHandle = await page.$('body');
const html = await page.evaluate(body => body.innerHTML, bodyHandle);
await bodyHandle.dispose();

Type Parameters

Params extends unknown[]
optional
Func extends EvaluateFunc<Params> = EvaluateFunc<Params>

Parameters

pageFunction: Func | string
  • a function that is run within the page
...args: Params
  • arguments to be passed to the pageFunction

Returns

Promise<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>

the return value of pageFunction.
