Optional Returns either null or the object handle itself, if the object handle is an instance of
ElementHandle.
This method returns the bounding box of the element, or null if the element is not visible. The bounding box is
calculated relative to the main frame viewport - which is usually the same as the browser window.
Scrolling affects the returned bounding box, similarly to
Element.getBoundingClientRect.
That means x and/or y may be negative.
Elements from child frames return the bounding box relative to the main frame, unlike the Element.getBoundingClientRect.
Assuming the page is static, it is safe to use bounding box coordinates to perform input. For example, the following snippet should click the center of the element.
Usage
const box = await elementHandle.boundingBox();
await page.mouse.click(box.x + box.width / 2, box.y + box.height / 2);
NOTE Use locator-based locator.check([options]) instead. Read more about locators.

The snippet below dispatches the click event on the element. Regardless of the visibility state of the element,
click is dispatched. This is equivalent to calling
element.click().
Usage
await elementHandle.dispatchEvent('click');
Under the hood, it creates an instance of an event based on the given
type,
initializes it with
eventInit
properties and dispatches it on the element. Events are composed, cancelable and bubble by default.
Since
eventInit
is event-specific, please refer to the events documentation for the lists of initial properties:
You can also specify JSHandle as the property value if you want live objects to be passed into the event:
// Note you can only create DataTransfer in Chromium and Firefox
const dataTransfer = await page.evaluateHandle(() => new DataTransfer());
await elementHandle.dispatchEvent('dragstart', { dataTransfer });
DOM event type: "click", "dragstart", etc.
Optional eventInit: EvaluationArgumentOptional event-specific initialization properties.

key can specify the

Holding down Shift will type the text that corresponds to the
key in the upper case.
If key is a single
character, it is case-sensitive, so the values a and A will generate different respective texts.
Shortcuts such as key: "Control+o", key: "Control++ or key: "Control+Shift+T" are supported as well. When
specified with the modifier, modifier is pressed and being held while the subsequent key is being pressed.

Optional modifiers?: ("Alt" | "Control" | "ControlOrMeta" | "Meta" | "Shift")[]Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the operation, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used. "ControlOrMeta" resolves to "Control" on Windows and Linux and to "Meta" on macOS.
Optional noThis option has no effect.
This option has no effect.
Optional position?: { A point to use relative to the top-left corner of element padding box. If not specified, uses some visible point of the element.
Optional timeout?: numberMaximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 0 - no timeout. The default value can be changed via actionTimeout
option in the config, or by using the
browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)
or page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout) methods.
Optional trial?: booleanWhen set, this method only performs the actionability checks and skips the action. Defaults
to false. Useful to wait until the element is ready for the action without performing it.
NOTE Use locator-based locator.textContent([options]) instead. Read more about locators.
Returns the node.textContent.
Focuses the element, and then sends a keydown, keypress/input, and keyup event for each character in the
text.
To press a special key, like Control or ArrowDown, use
elementHandle.press(key[, options]).
Usage
A text to type into a focused element.

Optional timeout?: numberMaximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 0 - no timeout. The default value can be changed via actionTimeout
option in the config, or by using the
browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)
or page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout) methods.
In most cases, you should use locator.fill(value[, options]) instead. You only need to press keys one by one if there is special keyboard handling on the page - in this case use locator.pressSequentially(text[, options]).
NOTE Use locator-based locator.uncheck([options]) instead. Read more about locators.
This method checks the element by performing the following steps:
force option is
set.If the element is detached from the DOM at any moment during the action, this method throws.
When all steps combined have not finished during the specified
timeout, this method
throws a TimeoutError. Passing zero timeout disables this.

Returns when the element satisfies the
state.
Depending on the
state
parameter, this method waits for one of the actionability checks to pass. This method throws
when the element is detached while waiting, unless waiting for the "hidden" state.
"visible" Wait until the element is visible."hidden" Wait until the element is not visible or not attached. Note that
waiting for hidden does not throw when the element detaches."stable" Wait until the element is both visible and
stable."enabled" Wait until the element is enabled."disabled" Wait until the element is not enabled."editable" Wait until the element is editable.If the element does not satisfy the condition for the
timeout
milliseconds, this method will throw.

Returns element specified by selector when it satisfies

option. Returns null if waiting for hidden or detached.
Wait for the
selector
relative to the element handle to satisfy

(either appear/disappear from dom, or become visible/hidden). If at the moment of calling the method
selector
already satisfies the condition, the method will return immediately. If the selector doesn't satisfy the condition
for the

milliseconds, the function will throw.
Usage
await page.setContent(`<div><span></span></div>`);
const div = await page.$('div');
// Waiting for the 'span' selector relative to the div.
const span = await div.waitForSelector('span', { state: 'attached' });

Generated using TypeDoc
ElementHandle represents an in-page DOM element. ElementHandles can be created with the page.$(selector[, options]) method.
NOTE The use of ElementHandle is discouraged, use Locator objects and web-first assertions instead.
ElementHandle prevents DOM element from garbage collection unless the handle is disposed with jsHandle.dispose(). ElementHandles are auto-disposed when their origin frame gets navigated.
ElementHandle instances can be used as an argument in page.$eval(selector, pageFunction[, arg, options]) and page.evaluate(pageFunction[, arg]) methods.
The difference between the Locator and ElementHandle is that the ElementHandle points to a particular element, while Locator captures the logic of how to retrieve an element.
In the example below, handle points to a particular DOM element on page. If that element changes text or is used by React to render an entirely different component, handle is still pointing to that very DOM element. This can lead to unexpected behaviors.
With the locator, every time the
elementis used, up-to-date DOM element is located in the page using the selector. So in the snippet below, underlying DOM element is going to be located twice.
