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

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<() => number>(() => 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();

Parameters

pageFunction: T
  • a function that is run within the page
  • arguments to be passed to the pageFunction

Returns

the return value of pageFunction.
