Description

selector

Selector

selector to query the page for. CSS selectors can be passed as-is and a Puppeteer-specific selector syntax allows quering by text, a11y role and name, and xpath and combining these queries across shadow roots. Alternatively, you can specify the selector type using a prefix.

pageFunction

The function to be evaluated in the element's page's context. An array of elements matching the given selector will be passed to the function as its first argument.

args

Params

Additional arguments to pass to pageFunction.

Returns:

Promise<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>

A promise to the result of the function.

Example

HTML:

<div class="feed">
<div class="tweet">Hello!</div>
<div class="tweet">Hi!</div>
</div>

JavaScript:

const feedHandle = await page.$('.feed');
expect(
await feedHandle.$$eval('.tweet', nodes => nodes.map(n => n.innerText))
).toEqual(['Hello!', 'Hi!']);
