Realm.evaluate() method

Evaluates a function in the realm's context and returns the resulting value.

If the function passed to realm.evaluate returns a Promise, the method will wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

JSHandle instances can be passed as arguments to the function.

  abstract evaluate<
    Params extends unknown[],

}

Parameters

  return Promise.resolve(8 * 7);
