### Playwright module
Playwright module provides a method to launch a browser instance.
The following is a typical example of using Playwright to drive automation:
```js
const { chromium, firefox, webkit } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch(); // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage('http://example.com');
// other actions...
await browser.close();
})();
```
Playwright automatically downloads browser executables during installation, see [Downloaded browsers](#downloaded-browsers) for more information.

<!-- GEN:stop -->
#### playwright.chromium
- returns: <[BrowserType]>
This object can be used to launch or connect to Chromium, returning instances of [ChromiumBrowser].
#### playwright.devices
- returns: <[Object]>
Returns a list of devices to be used with [`browser.newContext(options)`](#browsernewcontextoptions). Actual list of
devices can be found in [src/deviceDescriptors.ts](https://github.com/Microsoft/playwright/blob/master/src/deviceDescriptors.ts).
```js
const { webkit, devices } = require('playwright');
const iPhone = devices['iPhone 6'];
(async () => {
const browser = await webkit.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext({
viewport: iPhone.viewport,
userAgent: iPhone.userAgent
});
const page = await context.newPage('http://example.com');
// other actions...
await browser.close();
})();
```
#### playwright.errors
- returns: <[Object]>
- `TimeoutError` <[function]> A class of [TimeoutError].
Playwright methods might throw errors if they are unable to fulfill a request. For example, [page.waitForSelector(selector[, options])](#pagewaitforselectorselector-options)
might fail if the selector doesn't match any nodes during the given timeframe.
For certain types of errors Playwright uses specific error classes.
These classes are available via [`browserType.errors`](#browsertypeerrors) or [`playwright.errors`](#playwrighterrors).
An example of handling a timeout error:
```js
try {
await page.waitForSelector('.foo');
} catch (e) {
if (e instanceof playwright.errors.TimeoutError) {
// Do something if this is a timeout.
}
}
```
#### playwright.firefox
- returns: <[BrowserType]>
This object can be used to launch or connect to Firefox, returning instances of [FirefoxBrowser].
#### playwright.selectors
- returns: <[Selectors]>
Selectors can be used to install custom selector engines. See [Working with selectors](#working-with-selectors) for more information.
#### playwright.webkit
- returns: <[BrowserType]>
This object can be used to launch or connect to WebKit, returning instances of [WebKitBrowser].
### class: Browser
* extends: [EventEmitter](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter)
A Browser is created when Playwright connects to a browser instance, either through [`browserType.launch`](#browsertypelaunchoptions) or [`browserType.connect`](#browsertypeconnectoptions).
An example of using a [Browser] to create a [Page]:
```js
const { firefox } = require('playwright'); // Or 'chromium' or 'webkit'.
(async () => {
const browser = await firefox.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage('https://example.com');
await browser.close();
})();
```
An example of launching a browser executable and connecting to a [Browser] later:
```js
const { webkit } = require('playwright'); // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'.
(async () => {
const browserApp = await webkit.launchBrowserApp({ webSocket: true });
const connectOptions = browserApp.connectOptions();
// Use connect options later to establish a connection.
const browser = await webkit.connect(connectOptions);
// Close browser instance.
await browserApp.close();
})();
```
See [ChromiumBrowser], [FirefoxBrowser] and [WebKitBrowser] for browser-specific features. Note that [browserType.connect(options)](#browsertypeconnectoptions) and [browserType.launch(options)](#browsertypelaunchoptions) always return a specific browser instance, based on the browser being connected to or launched.

<!-- GEN:stop -->
#### event: 'disconnected'
Emitted when Browser gets disconnected from the browser application. This might happen because of one of the following:
- Browser application is closed or crashed.
- The [`browser.disconnect`](#browserdisconnect) method was called.
#### browser.browserContexts()
- returns: <[Array]<[BrowserContext]>>
Returns an array of all open browser contexts. In a newly created browser, this will return
a single instance of [BrowserContext].

- returns: <[Promise]<[BrowserContext]>>
Creates a new browser context. It won't share cookies/cache with other browser contexts.
```js
(async () => {
const browser = await playwright.firefox.launch(); // Or 'chromium' or 'webkit'.
// Create a new incognito browser context.
const context = await browser.newContext();
// Create a new page in a pristine context.
const page = await context.newPage('https://example.com');
})();
```
### class: BrowserContext
* extends: [EventEmitter](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter)
BrowserContexts provide a way to operate multiple independent browser sessions.
If a page opens another page, e.g. with a `window.open` call, the popup will belong to the parent page's browser
context.
Playwright allows creation of "incognito" browser contexts with `browser.newContext()` method.
"Incognito" browser contexts don't write any browsing data to disk.
```js
// Create a new incognito browser context
const context = await browser.newContext();
// Create a new page inside context.
const page = await context.newPage('https://example.com');
// Dispose context once it's no longer needed.
await context.close();
```

> **NOTE** the default browser context cannot be closed.
#### browserContext.newPage(url)
- `url` <?[string]> Optional url to navigate the page to.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Page]>>
Creates a new page in the browser context and optionally navigates it to the specified URL.
#### browserContext.pages()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[Page]>>> Promise which resolves to an array of all open pages. Non visible pages, such as `"background_page"`, will not be listed here. You can find them using [target.page()](#targetpage).
An array of all pages inside the browser context.
#### browserContext.setCacheEnabled([enabled])
- `enabled` <[boolean]> sets the `enabled` state of the HTTP cache.
- returns: <[Promise]>

- `path` <[string]> either url or domain / path are **required**
- `expires` <[number]> Unix time in seconds.
- `httpOnly` <[boolean]>
- `secure` <[boolean]>
- `sameSite` <"Strict"|"Lax"|"None">
- returns: <[Promise]>
```js
await browserContext.setCookies([cookieObject1, cookieObject2]);
```
#### browserContext.setGeolocation(geolocation)
- `geolocation` <[Object]>
- `latitude` <[number]> Latitude between -90 and 90.
- `longitude` <[number]> Longitude between -180 and 180.
- `accuracy` <[number]> Optional non-negative accuracy value.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Sets the page's geolocation. Passing null or undefined emulates position unavailable.
```js
await browserContext.setGeolocation({latitude: 59.95, longitude: 30.31667});
```
> **NOTE** Consider using [browserContext.setPermissions](#browsercontextsetpermissions-permissions) to grant permissions for the page to read its geolocation.
#### browserContext.setOfflineMode(enabled)
- `enabled` <[boolean]> When `true`, enables offline mode for the context.
- returns: <[Promise]>
#### browserContext.setPermissions(origin, permissions[])
- `origin` <[string]> The [origin] to grant permissions to, e.g. "https://example.com".
- `permissions` <[Array]<[string]>> An array of permissions to grant. All permissions that are not listed here will be automatically denied. Permissions can be one of the following values:
- `'geolocation'`
- `'midi'`
- `'midi-sysex'` (system-exclusive midi)
- `'notifications'`
- `'push'`
- `'camera'`
- `'microphone'`
- `'background-sync'`
- `'ambient-light-sensor'`
- `'accelerometer'`
- `'gyroscope'`
- `'magnetometer'`
- `'accessibility-events'`
- `'clipboard-read'`
- `'clipboard-write'`
- `'payment-handler'`
- returns: <[Promise]>
```js
const context = browser.defaultContext();
await context.setPermissions('https://html5demos.com', ['geolocation']);
```
#### browserContext.setRequestInterception(enabled)
- `enabled` <[boolean]> Whether to enable request interception.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Activating request interception enables `request.abort`, `request.continue` and
`request.respond` methods. This provides the capability to modify network requests that are made by all pages in the context.
Once request interception is enabled, every request will stall unless it's continued, responded or aborted.
An example of a naïve request interceptor that aborts all image requests:
```js
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
if (interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.png') || interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.jpg'))
interceptedRequest.abort();
else
interceptedRequest.continue();
});
await context.setRequestInterception(true);
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await browser.close();
```
> **NOTE** Enabling request interception disables HTTP cache.
### class: Page
* extends: [EventEmitter](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter)
Page provides methods to interact with a single tab in a [Browser], or an [extension background page](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages) in Chromium. One [Browser] instance might have multiple [Page] instances.
This example creates a page, navigates it to a URL, and then saves a screenshot:
```js
const { webkit } = require('playwright'); // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'.
(async () => {
const browser = await webkit.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage('https://example.com');
await page.screenshot({path: 'screenshot.png'});
await browser.close();
})();
```
The Page class emits various events (described below) which can be handled using any of Node's native [`EventEmitter`](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter) methods, such as `on`, `once` or `removeListener`.
This example logs a message for a single page `load` event:
```js
page.once('load', () => console.log('Page loaded!'));
```
To unsubscribe from events use the `removeListener` method:
```js
function logRequest(interceptedRequest) {
console.log('A request was made:', interceptedRequest.url());
}
page.on('request', logRequest);
// Sometime later...
page.removeListener('request', logRequest);
```

<!-- GEN:stop -->
#### event: 'close'
Emitted when the page closes.
#### event: 'console'
- <[ConsoleMessage]>
Emitted when JavaScript within the page calls one of console API methods, e.g. `console.log` or `console.dir`. Also emitted if the page throws an error or a warning.
The arguments passed into `console.log` appear as arguments on the event handler.
An example of handling `console` event:
```js
page.on('console', msg => {
for (let i = 0; i < msg.args().length; ++i)
console.log(`${i}: ${msg.args()[i]}`);
});
page.evaluate(() => console.log('hello', 5, {foo: 'bar'}));
```
#### event: 'dialog'
- <[Dialog]>
Emitted when a JavaScript dialog appears, such as `alert`, `prompt`, `confirm` or `beforeunload`. Playwright can respond to the dialog via [Dialog]'s [accept](#dialogacceptprompttext) or [dismiss](#dialogdismiss) methods.
#### event: 'domcontentloaded'
Emitted when the JavaScript [`DOMContentLoaded`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/DOMContentLoaded) event is dispatched.
#### event: 'filechooser'
- <[Object]>

- `multiple` <[boolean]> Whether file chooser allow for [multiple](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/file#attr-multiple) file selection.
Emitted when a file chooser is supposed to appear, such as after clicking the `<input type=file>`. Playwright can respond to it via setting the input files using [`elementHandle.setInputFiles`](#elementhandlesetinputfilesfiles).
```js
page.on('filechooser', async ({element, multiple}) => {
await element.setInputFiles('/tmp/myfile.pdf');
});
```
#### event: 'frameattached'
- <[Frame]>
Emitted when a frame is attached.
#### event: 'framedetached'
- <[Frame]>
Emitted when a frame is detached.
#### event: 'framenavigated'
- <[Frame]>
Emitted when a frame is navigated to a new url.
#### event: 'load'
Emitted when the JavaScript [`load`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/load) event is dispatched.
#### event: 'pageerror'
- <[Error]> The exception message
Emitted when an uncaught exception happens within the page.
#### event: 'popup'
- <[Page]> Page corresponding to "popup" window
Emitted when the page opens a new tab or window.
```js
const [popup] = await Promise.all([
new Promise(resolve => page.once('popup', resolve)),
page.click('a[target=_blank]'),
]);
```
```js
const [popup] = await Promise.all([
new Promise(resolve => page.once('popup', resolve)),
page.evaluate(() => window.open('https://example.com')),
]);
```
#### event: 'request'
- <[Request]>
Emitted when a page issues a request. The [request] object is read-only.
In order to intercept and mutate requests, see `page.setRequestInterception(true)`.
#### event: 'requestfailed'
- <[Request]>
Emitted when a request fails, for example by timing out.
> **NOTE** HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with [`'requestfinished'`](#event-requestfinished) event and not with [`'requestfailed'`](#event-requestfailed).
#### event: 'requestfinished'
- <[Request]>
Emitted when a request finishes successfully.
#### event: 'response'
- <[Response]>
Emitted when a [response] is received.
#### event: 'websocket'
- <[WebSocket]> websocket
Emitted when a <[WebSocket]> is opened.
#### event: 'workercreated'
- <[Worker]>
Emitted when a dedicated [WebWorker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API) is spawned by the page.
#### event: 'workerdestroyed'
- <[Worker]>
Emitted when a dedicated [WebWorker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API) is terminated.
#### page.$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query page for
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>>
The method runs `document.querySelector` within the page. If no element matches the selector, the return value resolves to `null`.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().$(selector)](#frameselector).
#### page.$$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query page for
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>
The method runs `document.querySelectorAll` within the page. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to `[]`.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().$$(selector)](#frameselector-1).
#### page.$$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Array]<[Element]>\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector))` within the page and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `page.$$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const divsCounts = await page.$$eval('div', divs => divs.length);
```
#### page.$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `document.querySelector` within the page and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `page.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:

#### page.$wait(selector, pageFunction[, options[, ...args]])
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
- `polling` <[number]|"raf"|"mutation"> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
- `'raf'` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
- `'mutation'` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to a JSHandle of the success value
This method runs `document.querySelector` within the page and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `page.$wait` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value. The function
is being called on the element periodically until either timeout expires or the function returns the truthy value.

#### page.addScriptTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
- `url` <[string]> URL of a script to be added.
- `path` <[string]> Path to the JavaScript file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- `content` <[string]> Raw JavaScript content to be injected into frame.
- `type` <[string]> Script type. Use 'module' in order to load a Javascript ES6 module. See [script](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script) for more details.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the script's onload fires or when the script content was injected into frame.
Adds a `<script>` tag into the page with the desired url or content.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().addScriptTag(options)](#frameaddscripttagoptions).
#### page.addStyleTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
- `url` <[string]> URL of the `<link>` tag.
- `path` <[string]> Path to the CSS file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- `content` <[string]> Raw CSS content to be injected into frame.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the stylesheet's onload fires or when the CSS content was injected into frame.
Adds a `<link rel="stylesheet">` tag into the page with the desired url or a `<style type="text/css">` tag with the content.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().addStyleTag(options)](#frameaddstyletagoptions).
#### page.authenticate(credentials)
- `credentials` <?[Object]>
- `username` <[string]>
- `password` <[string]>
- returns: <[Promise]>
Provide credentials for [HTTP authentication](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Authentication).
To disable authentication, pass `null`.
#### page.browserContext()
- returns: <[BrowserContext]>
Get the browser context that the page belongs to.
#### page.click(selector[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to search for element to click. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be clicked.
- `options` <[Object]>
- `button` <"left"|"right"|"middle"> Defaults to `left`.
- `clickCount` <[number]> defaults to 1. See [UIEvent.detail].
- `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between `mousedown` and `mouseup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- `relativePoint` <[Object]> A point to click relative to the top-left corner of element padding box. If not specified, clicks to some visible point of the element.
- x <[number]>
- y <[number]>
- `modifiers` <[Array]<"Alt"|"Control"|"Meta"|"Shift">> Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the click, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used.
- `waitFor` <"visible"|"hidden"|"any"|"nowait"> Wait for element to become visible (`visible`), hidden (`hidden`), present in dom (`any`) or do not wait at all (`nowait`). Defaults to `visible`.
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Bear in mind that if `click()` triggers a navigation event and there's a separate `page.waitForNavigation()` promise to be resolved, you may end up with a race condition that yields unexpected results. The correct pattern for click and wait for navigation is the following:
```javascript
const [response] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForNavigation(waitOptions),
page.click(selector, clickOptions),
]);
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().click(selector[, options])](#frameclickselector-options).
#### page.close([options])

- returns: <[Promise]>
By default, `page.close()` **does not** run beforeunload handlers.
> **NOTE** if `runBeforeUnload` is passed as true, a `beforeunload` dialog might be summoned
> and should be handled manually via page's ['dialog'](#event-dialog) event.
#### page.content()
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>>
Gets the full HTML contents of the page, including the doctype.
#### page.coverage
- returns: <[Coverage]>
#### page.dblclick(selector[, options])

- x <[number]>
- y <[number]>
- `modifiers` <[Array]<"Alt"|"Control"|"Meta"|"Shift">> Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the double click, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used.
- `waitFor` <"visible"|"hidden"|"any"|"nowait"> Wait for element to become visible (`visible`), hidden (`hidden`), present in dom (`any`) or do not wait at all (`nowait`). Defaults to `visible`.
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully double clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to double click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Bear in mind that if the first click of the `dblclick()` triggers a navigation event, there will be an exception.
> **NOTE** `page.dblclick()` dispatches two `click` events and a single `dblclick` event.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().dblclick(selector[, options])](#framedblclickselector-options).
#### page.emulateMedia(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
- `media` <"screen"|"print"> Changes the CSS media type of the page. The only allowed values are `'screen'`, `'print'` and `null`. Passing `null` disables CSS media emulation.
- `colorScheme` <"dark"|"light"|"no-preference"> Emulates `'prefers-colors-scheme'` media feature, supported values are `'light'`, `'dark'`, `'no-preference'`.
- returns: <[Promise]>
```js
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('screen').matches));
// → true
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('print').matches));
// → true
await page.emulateMedia({ media: 'print' });
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('screen').matches));
// → false
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('print').matches));
// → true
await page.emulateMedia({});
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('screen').matches));
// → true
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('print').matches));
// → true
```
```js
await page.emulateMedia({ colorScheme: 'dark' }] });
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches));
// → true
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: light)').matches));
// → false
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: no-preference)').matches));
// → false
```
#### page.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
If the function passed to the `page.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `page.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function passed to the `page.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `page.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.
Passing arguments to `pageFunction`:
```js
const result = await page.evaluate(x => {
return Promise.resolve(8 * x);
}, 7);
console.log(result); // prints "56"
```
A string can also be passed in instead of a function:
```js
console.log(await page.evaluate('1 + 2')); // prints "3"
const x = 10;
console.log(await page.evaluate(`1 + ${x}`)); // prints "11"
```
[ElementHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `page.evaluate`:
```js
const bodyHandle = await page.$('body');
const html = await page.evaluate(body => body.innerHTML, bodyHandle);
await bodyHandle.dispose();
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().evaluate(pageFunction, ...args)](#frameevaluatepagefunction-args).
#### page.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as in-page object (JSHandle)
The only difference between `page.evaluate` and `page.evaluateHandle` is that `page.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function passed to the `page.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `page.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
A string can also be passed in instead of a function:
```js
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle('document'); // Handle for the 'document'
```
[JSHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `page.evaluateHandle`:
```js
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => document.body);
const resultHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(body => body.innerHTML, aHandle);
console.log(await resultHandle.jsonValue());
await resultHandle.dispose();
```
#### page.evaluateOnNewDocument(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]>
Adds a function which would be invoked in one of the following scenarios:
- whenever the page is navigated
- whenever the child frame is attached or navigated. In this case, the function is invoked in the context of the newly attached frame
The function is invoked after the document was created but before any of its scripts were run. This is useful to amend the JavaScript environment, e.g. to seed `Math.random`.
An example of overriding the navigator.languages property before the page loads:
```js
// preload.js
// overwrite the `languages` property to use a custom getter
Object.defineProperty(navigator, "languages", {
get: function() {
return ["en-US", "en", "bn"];
}
});
// In your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same folder of our script
const preloadFile = fs.readFileSync('./preload.js', 'utf8');
await page.evaluateOnNewDocument(preloadFile);
```
#### page.exposeFunction(name, playwrightFunction)
- `name` <[string]> Name of the function on the window object
- `playwrightFunction` <[function]> Callback function which will be called in Playwright's context.
- returns: <[Promise]>
The method adds a function called `name` on the page's `window` object.
When called, the function executes `playwrightFunction` in node.js and returns a [Promise] which resolves to the return value of `playwrightFunction`.
If the `playwrightFunction` returns a [Promise], it will be awaited.
> **NOTE** Functions installed via `page.exposeFunction` survive navigations.
An example of adding an `md5` function into the page:
```js
const { firefox } = require('playwright'); // Or 'chromium' or 'webkit'.
const crypto = require('crypto');
(async () => {
const browser = await firefox.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
page.on('console', msg => console.log(msg.text()));
await page.exposeFunction('md5', text =>
crypto.createHash('md5').update(text).digest('hex')
);
await page.evaluate(async () => {
// use window.md5 to compute hashes
const myString = 'PLAYWRIGHT';
const myHash = await window.md5(myString);
console.log(`md5 of ${myString} is ${myHash}`);
});
await browser.close();
})();
```
An example of adding a `window.readfile` function into the page:
```js
const { chromium } = require('playwright'); // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.
const fs = require('fs');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
page.on('console', msg => console.log(msg.text()));
await page.exposeFunction('readfile', async filePath => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8', (err, text) => {
if (err)
reject(err);
else
resolve(text);
});
});
});
await page.evaluate(async () => {
// use window.readfile to read contents of a file
const content = await window.readfile('/etc/hosts');
console.log(content);
});
await browser.close();
})();
```

> **NOTE** Generating a pdf is currently only supported in Chromium headless.
`page.pdf()` generates a pdf of the page with `print` css media. To generate a pdf with `screen` media, call [page.emulateMedia({ type: 'screen' })](#pageemulatemedia) before calling `page.pdf()`:
> **NOTE** By default, `page.pdf()` generates a pdf with modified colors for printing. Use the [`-webkit-print-color-adjust`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-webkit-print-color-adjust) property to force rendering of exact colors.
```js
// Generates a PDF with 'screen' media type.
await page.emulateMedia({type: 'screen'});
await page.pdf({path: 'page.pdf'});
```
The `width`, `height`, and `margin` options accept values labeled with units. Unlabeled values are treated as pixels.
A few examples:
- `page.pdf({width: 100})` - prints with width set to 100 pixels
- `page.pdf({width: '100px'})` - prints with width set to 100 pixels
- `page.pdf({width: '10cm'})` - prints with width set to 10 centimeters.
All possible units are:
- `px` - pixel
- `in` - inch
- `cm` - centimeter
- `mm` - millimeter
The `format` options are:
- `Letter`: 8.5in x 11in
- `Legal`: 8.5in x 14in
- `Tabloid`: 11in x 17in
- `Ledger`: 17in x 11in
- `A0`: 33.1in x 46.8in
- `A1`: 23.4in x 33.1in
- `A2`: 16.54in x 23.4in
- `A3`: 11.7in x 16.54in
- `A4`: 8.27in x 11.7in
- `A5`: 5.83in x 8.27in
- `A6`: 4.13in x 5.83in
> **NOTE** `headerTemplate` and `footerTemplate` markup have the following limitations:
> 1. Script tags inside templates are not evaluated.

- `'domcontentloaded'` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
- `'networkidle0'` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- `'networkidle2'` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Response]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect.
#### page.screenshot([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Options object which might have the following properties:
- `path` <[string]> The file path to save the image to. The screenshot type will be inferred from file extension. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).

- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query frame for.
- `value` <[string]|[ElementHandle]|[Array]<[string]>|[Object]|[Array]<[ElementHandle]>|[Array]<[Object]>> Options to select. If the `<select>` has the `multiple` attribute, all matching options are selected, otherwise only the first option matching one of the passed options is selected. String values are equivalent to `{value:'string'}`. Option is considered matching if all specified properties match.
- `value` <[string]> Matches by `option.value`.

- returns: <[Promise]>
> **NOTE** in certain cases, setting viewport will reload the page in order to set the `isMobile` property.
In the case of multiple pages in a single browser, each page can have its own viewport size.
`page.setViewport` will resize the page. A lot of websites don't expect phones to change size, so you should set the viewport before navigating to the page.
```js
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.setViewport({
width: 640,
height: 480,
deviceScaleFactor: 1,
});
await page.goto('https://example.com');

- `waitFor` <"visible"|"hidden"|"any"|"nowait"> Wait for element to become visible (`visible`), hidden (`hidden`), present in dom (`any`) or do not wait at all (`nowait`). Defaults to `visible`.
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully triple clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to triple click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Bear in mind that if the first or second click of the `tripleclick()` triggers a navigation event, there will be an exception.
> **NOTE** `page.tripleclick()` dispatches three `click` events and a single `dblclick` event.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().tripleclick(selector[, options])](#frametripleclickselector-options).
#### page.type(selector, text[, options])

- returns: <[Promise]>
Sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.
To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [`keyboard.press`](#keyboardpresskey-options).
```js
await page.type('#mytextarea', 'Hello'); // Types instantly
await page.type('#mytextarea', 'World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().type(selector, text[, options])](#frametypeselector-text-options).

- `polling` <[number]|"raf"|"mutation"> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
- `'raf'` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
- `'mutation'` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to a JSHandle of the success value
This method behaves differently with respect to the type of the first parameter:
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `string`, then the first argument is treated as a [selector] or [xpath], depending on whether or not it starts with '//', and the method is a shortcut for
[page.waitForSelector](#pagewaitforselectorselector-options)
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `function`, then the first argument is treated as a predicate to wait for and the method is a shortcut for [page.waitForFunction()](#pagewaitforfunctionpagefunction-options-args).
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `number`, then the first argument is treated as a timeout in milliseconds and the method returns a promise which resolves after the timeout
- otherwise, an exception is thrown
```js
// wait for selector
await page.waitFor('.foo');
// wait for 1 second
await page.waitFor(1000);
// wait for predicate
await page.waitFor(() => !!document.querySelector('.foo'));
```
To pass arguments from node.js to the predicate of `page.waitFor` function:
```js
const selector = '.foo';
await page.waitFor(selector => !!document.querySelector(selector), {}, selector);

- `optionsOrPredicate` <[Function]|[Object]> Either a predicate that receives an event or an options object.
- `predicate` <[Function]> receives the event data and resolves to truthy value when the waiting should resolve.
- `polling` <[number]|"raf"|"mutation"> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
- `'raf'` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
- `'mutation'` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.

- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves when the `pageFunction` returns a truthy value. It resolves to a JSHandle of the truthy value.
The `waitForFunction` can be used to observe viewport size change:
```js
const { webkit } = require('playwright'); // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'.
(async () => {
const browser = await webkit.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();

Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
- `'load'` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
- `'domcontentloaded'` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
- `'networkidle0'` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- `'networkidle2'` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the load state has been achieved.
This resolves when the page reaches a required load state, `load` by default. The navigation can be in progress when it is called.
If navigation is already at a required state, resolves immediately.
```js
await page.click('button'); // Click triggers navigation.
await page.waitForLoadState(); // The promise resolves after navigation has finished.
```

- `'domcontentloaded'` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
- `'networkidle0'` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- `'networkidle2'` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[Response]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect. In case of navigation to a different anchor or navigation due to History API usage, the navigation will resolve with `null`.
This resolves when the page navigates to a new URL or reloads. It is useful for when you run code
which will indirectly cause the page to navigate. Consider this example:
```js
const [response] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForNavigation(), // The promise resolves after navigation has finished
page.click('a.my-link'), // Clicking the link will indirectly cause a navigation
]);
```
**NOTE** Usage of the [History API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API) to change the URL is considered a navigation.

Wait for the `selector` to appear in page. If at the moment of calling
the method the `selector` already exists, the method will return
immediately. If the selector doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.
This method works across navigations:
```js
const { chromium } = require('playwright'); // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
let currentURL;
page
.waitForSelector('img')
.then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));

### class: Frame
At every point of time, page exposes its current frame tree via the [page.mainFrame()](#pagemainframe) and [frame.childFrames()](#framechildframes) methods.
[Frame] object's lifecycle is controlled by three events, dispatched on the page object:
- ['frameattached'](#event-frameattached) - fired when the frame gets attached to the page. A Frame can be attached to the page only once.
- ['framenavigated'](#event-framenavigated) - fired when the frame commits navigation to a different URL.
- ['framedetached'](#event-framedetached) - fired when the frame gets detached from the page. A Frame can be detached from the page only once.
An example of dumping frame tree:
```js
const { firefox } = require('playwright'); // Or 'chromium' or 'webkit'.
(async () => {
const browser = await firefox.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage('https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html');
dumpFrameTree(page.mainFrame(), '');
await browser.close();
function dumpFrameTree(frame, indent) {
console.log(indent + frame.url());
for (const child of frame.childFrames()) {
dumpFrameTree(child, indent + ' ');
}
}
})();
```
An example of getting text from an iframe element:
```js
const frame = page.frames().find(frame => frame.name() === 'myframe');
const text = await frame.$eval('.selector', element => element.textContent);
console.log(text);

The method queries frame for the selector. If there's no such element within the frame, the method will resolve to `null`.
#### frame.$$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query frame for
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>> Promise which resolves to ElementHandles pointing to the frame elements.
The method runs `document.querySelectorAll` within the frame. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to `[]`.
#### frame.$$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query frame for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Array]<[Element]>\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector))` within the frame and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const divsCounts = await frame.$$eval('div', divs => divs.length);
```
#### frame.$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query frame for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `document.querySelector` within the frame and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const searchValue = await frame.$eval('#search', el => el.value);
const preloadHref = await frame.$eval('link[rel=preload]', el => el.href);
const html = await frame.$eval('.main-container', e => e.outerHTML);
```
#### frame.$wait(selector, pageFunction[, options[, ...args]])
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
- `polling` <[number]|"raf"|"mutation"> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
- `'raf'` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
- `'mutation'` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to a JSHandle of the success value
This method runs `document.querySelector` within the frame and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `page.$wait` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value. The function
is being called on the element periodically until either timeout expires or the function returns the truthy value.
#### frame.addScriptTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
- `url` <[string]> URL of a script to be added.
- `path` <[string]> Path to the JavaScript file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- `content` <[string]> Raw JavaScript content to be injected into frame.
- `type` <[string]> Script type. Use 'module' in order to load a Javascript ES6 module. See [script](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script) for more details.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the script's onload fires or when the script content was injected into frame.
Adds a `<script>` tag into the page with the desired url or content.
#### frame.addStyleTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
- `url` <[string]> URL of the `<link>` tag.
- `path` <[string]> Path to the CSS file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- `content` <[string]> Raw CSS content to be injected into frame.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the stylesheet's onload fires or when the CSS content was injected into frame.
Adds a `<link rel="stylesheet">` tag into the page with the desired url or a `<style type="text/css">` tag with the content.
#### frame.childFrames()
- returns: <[Array]<[Frame]>>
#### frame.click(selector[, options])

- `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between `mousedown` and `mouseup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- `relativePoint` <[Object]> A point to click relative to the top-left corner of element padding box. If not specified, clicks to some visible point of the element.
- x <[number]>
- y <[number]>
- `modifiers` <[Array]<"Alt"|"Control"|"Meta"|"Shift">> Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the click, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used.
- `waitFor` <"visible"|"hidden"|"any"|"nowait"> Wait for element to become visible (`visible`), hidden (`hidden`), present in dom (`any`) or do not wait at all (`nowait`). Defaults to `visible`.
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Bear in mind that if `click()` triggers a navigation event and there's a separate `page.waitForNavigation()` promise to be resolved, you may end up with a race condition that yields unexpected results. The correct pattern for click and wait for navigation is the following:
```javascript
const [response] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForNavigation(waitOptions),
frame.click(selector, clickOptions),
]);
```
#### frame.content()
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>>
Gets the full HTML contents of the frame, including the doctype.

- x <[number]>
- y <[number]>
- `modifiers` <[Array]<"Alt"|"Control"|"Meta"|"Shift">> Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the double click, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used.
- `waitFor` <"visible"|"hidden"|"any"|"nowait"> Wait for element to become visible (`visible`), hidden (`hidden`), present in dom (`any`) or do not wait at all (`nowait`). Defaults to `visible`.
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully double clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to double click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Bear in mind that if the first click of the `dblclick()` triggers a navigation event, there will be an exception.
> **NOTE** `frame.dblclick()` dispatches two `click` events and a single `dblclick` event.
#### frame.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
If the function passed to the `frame.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `frame.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function passed to the `frame.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `frame.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.
```js
const result = await frame.evaluate(() => {
return Promise.resolve(8 * 7);
});
console.log(result); // prints "56"
```
A string can also be passed in instead of a function.
```js
console.log(await frame.evaluate('1 + 2')); // prints "3"
```
[ElementHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `frame.evaluate`:
```js
const bodyHandle = await frame.$('body');
const html = await frame.evaluate(body => body.innerHTML, bodyHandle);
await bodyHandle.dispose();
```
#### frame.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as in-page object (JSHandle)
The only difference between `frame.evaluate` and `frame.evaluateHandle` is that `frame.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function, passed to the `frame.evaluateHandle`, returns a [Promise], then `frame.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
```js
const aWindowHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle(() => Promise.resolve(window));
aWindowHandle; // Handle for the window object.
```
A string can also be passed in instead of a function.
```js
const aHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle('document'); // Handle for the 'document'.
```
[JSHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `frame.evaluateHandle`:
```js
const aHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle(() => document.body);
const resultHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle(body => body.innerHTML, aHandle);
console.log(await resultHandle.jsonValue());
await resultHandle.dispose();
```

#### frame.focus(selector, options)
- `selector` <[string]> A selector of an element to focus. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be focused.
- `options` <[Object]>

Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
- `'load'` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
- `'domcontentloaded'` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
- `'networkidle0'` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.

- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully triple clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to triple click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Bear in mind that if the first or second click of the `tripleclick()` triggers a navigation event, there will be an exception.
> **NOTE** `frame.tripleclick()` dispatches three `click` events and a single `dblclick` event.
#### frame.type(selector, text[, options])

- `polling` <[number]|"raf"|"mutation"> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
- `'raf'` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
- `'mutation'` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to a JSHandle of the success value
This method behaves differently with respect to the type of the first parameter:
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `string`, then the first argument is treated as a [selector] or [xpath], depending on whether or not it starts with '//', and the method is a shortcut for
[frame.waitForSelector](#framewaitforselectorselector-options)
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `function`, then the first argument is treated as a predicate to wait for and the method is a shortcut for [frame.waitForFunction()](#framewaitforfunctionpagefunction-options-args).
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `number`, then the first argument is treated as a timeout in milliseconds and the method returns a promise which resolves after the timeout
- otherwise, an exception is thrown
```js
// wait for selector
await page.waitFor('.foo');
// wait for 1 second
await page.waitFor(1000);
// wait for predicate
await page.waitFor(() => !!document.querySelector('.foo'));
```
To pass arguments from node.js to the predicate of `page.waitFor` function:
```js

- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
- `polling` <[number]|"raf"|"mutation"> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
- `'raf'` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
- `'mutation'` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves when the `pageFunction` returns a truthy value. It resolves to a JSHandle of the truthy value.
The `waitForFunction` can be used to observe viewport size change:
```js
const { firefox } = require('playwright'); // Or 'chromium' or 'webkit'.
(async () => {
const browser = await firefox.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
const watchDog = page.mainFrame().waitForFunction('window.innerWidth < 100');
page.setViewport({width: 50, height: 50});
await watchDog;
await browser.close();
})();
```
To pass arguments from node.js to the predicate of `page.waitForFunction` function:
```js
const selector = '.foo';

- `'networkidle0'` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- `'networkidle2'` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the load state has been achieved.
This resolves when the page reaches a required load state, `load` by default. The navigation can be in progress when it is called.
If navigation is already at a required state, resolves immediately.
```js
await frame.click('button'); // Click triggers navigation.
await frame.waitForLoadState(); // The promise resolves after navigation has finished.
```
#### frame.waitForNavigation([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
- `url` <[string]|[RegExp]|[Function]> URL string, URL regex pattern or predicate receiving [URL] to match while waiting for the navigation.
- `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|[Array]<"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2">> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
- `'load'` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
- `'domcontentloaded'` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
- `'networkidle0'` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- `'networkidle2'` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[Response]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect. In case of navigation to a different anchor or navigation due to History API usage, the navigation will resolve with `null`.
This resolves when the frame navigates to a new URL. It is useful for when you run code
which will indirectly cause the frame to navigate. Consider this example:
```js
const [response] = await Promise.all([
frame.waitForNavigation(), // The navigation promise resolves after navigation has finished
frame.click('a.my-link'), // Clicking the link will indirectly cause a navigation
]);
```
**NOTE** Usage of the [History API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API) to change the URL is considered a navigation.
#### frame.waitForSelector(selector[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A selector of an element to wait for
- `options` <[Object]>
- `visibility` <"visible"|"hidden"|"any"> Wait for element to become visible (`visible`), hidden (`hidden`), present in dom (`any`). Defaults to `any`.
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves when element specified by selector string is added to DOM. Resolves to `null` if waiting for `hidden: true` and selector is not found in DOM.
Wait for the `selector` to appear in page. If at the moment of calling
the method the `selector` already exists, the method will return
immediately. If the selector doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.
This method works across navigations:
```js
const { webkit } = require('playwright'); // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'.
(async () => {
const browser = await webkit.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
let currentURL;
page.mainFrame()
.waitForSelector('img')
.then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));
for (currentURL of ['https://example.com', 'https://google.com', 'https://bbc.com']) {
await page.goto(currentURL);
}
await browser.close();
})();
```
### class: ElementHandle
* extends: [JSHandle]
ElementHandle represents an in-page DOM element. ElementHandles can be created with the [page.$](#pageselector) method.
```js
const { chromium } = require('playwright'); // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage('https://example.com');
const hrefElement = await page.$('a');
await hrefElement.click();
// ...
})();
```
ElementHandle prevents DOM element from garbage collection unless the handle is [disposed](#elementhandledispose). ElementHandles are auto-disposed when their origin frame gets navigated.
ElementHandle instances can be used as arguments in [`page.$eval()`](#pageevalselector-pagefunction-args) and [`page.evaluate()`](#pageevaluatepagefunction-args) methods.

#### elementHandle.$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query element for
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>>
The method runs `element.querySelector` within the page. If no element matches the selector, the return value resolves to `null`.
#### elementHandle.$$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query element for
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>
The method runs `element.querySelectorAll` within the page. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to `[]`.
#### elementHandle.$$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Array]<[Element]>\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `document.querySelectorAll` within the element and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```html
<div class="feed">
<div class="tweet">Hello!</div>
<div class="tweet">Hi!</div>
</div>
```
```js
const feedHandle = await page.$('.feed');
expect(await feedHandle.$$eval('.tweet', nodes => nodes.map(n => n.innerText))).toEqual(['Hello!', 'Hi!']);
```
#### elementHandle.$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `document.querySelector` within the element and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const tweetHandle = await page.$('.tweet');
expect(await tweetHandle.$eval('.like', node => node.innerText)).toBe('100');
expect(await tweetHandle.$eval('.retweets', node => node.innerText)).toBe('10');
```

- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element is successfully clicked. Promise gets rejected if the element is detached from DOM.
This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.
If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.
#### elementHandle.contentFrame()
- returns: <[Promise]<?[Frame]>> Resolves to the content frame for element handles referencing iframe nodes, or null otherwise
#### elementHandle.dblclick([options])
- `options` <[Object]>

This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.
If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.
Bear in mind that if the first click of the `dblclick()` triggers a navigation event, there will be an exception.
> **NOTE** `elementHandle.dblclick()` dispatches two `click` events and a single `dblclick` event.
#### elementHandle.fill(value)
- `value` <[string]> Value to set for the `<input>`, `<textarea>` or `[contenteditable]` element.

- returns: <[Promise]>
Focuses the element, and then uses [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey-options) and [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).
If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also be generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.
> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO effect `elementHandle.press`. Holding down `Shift` will type the text in upper case.
#### elementHandle.screenshot([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Screenshot options.
- `path` <[string]> The file path to save the image to. The screenshot type will be inferred from file extension. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).

- `quality` <[number]> The quality of the image, between 0-100. Not applicable to `png` images.
- `omitBackground` <[boolean]> Hides default white background and allows capturing screenshots with transparency. Defaults to `false`.
- returns: <[Promise]<|[Buffer]>> Promise which resolves to buffer with the captured screenshot.
This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [page.screenshot](#pagescreenshotoptions) to take a screenshot of the element.
If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.
#### elementHandle.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded()
- returns: <[Promise]> Resolves after the element has been scrolled into view.
This method tries to scroll element into view, unless it is completely visible as defined by [IntersectionObserver](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Intersection_Observer_API)'s ```ratio```. See also [elementHandle.visibleRatio()](#elementhandlevisibleratio).
Throws when ```elementHandle``` does not point to an element [connected](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Node/isConnected) to a Document or a ShadowRoot.
> **NOTE** If javascript is disabled, element is scrolled into view even when already completely visible.
#### elementHandle.select(...values)
- `...values` <...[string]|[ElementHandle]|[Object]> Options to select. If the `<select>` has the `multiple` attribute, all matching options are selected, otherwise only the first option matching one of the passed options is selected. String values are equivalent to `{value:'string'}`. Option is considered matching if all specified properties match.
- `value` <[string]> Matches by `option.value`.
- `label` <[string]> Matches by `option.label`.
- `index` <[number]> Matches by the index.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[string]>>> An array of option values that have been successfully selected.

- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element is successfully triple clicked. Promise gets rejected if the element is detached from DOM.
This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.
If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.
Bear in mind that if the first or second click of the `tripleclick()` triggers a navigation event, there will be an exception.
> **NOTE** `elementHandle.tripleclick()` dispatches three `click` events and a single `dblclick` event.
#### elementHandle.type(text[, options])
- `text` <[string]> A text to type into a focused element.

To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [`elementHandle.press`](#elementhandlepresskey-options).
```js
await elementHandle.type('Hello'); // Types instantly
await elementHandle.type('World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```
An example of typing into a text field and then submitting the form:
```js
const elementHandle = await page.$('input');
await elementHandle.type('some text');
await elementHandle.press('Enter');
```
#### elementHandle.visibleRatio()
- returns: <[Promise]<[number]>> Returns the visible ratio as defined by [IntersectionObserver](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Intersection_Observer_API).
Positive ratio means that some part of the element is visible in the current viewport. Ratio equal to one means that element is completely visible.
### class: JSHandle
JSHandle represents an in-page JavaScript object. JSHandles can be created with the [page.evaluateHandle](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-args) method.
```js
const windowHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => window);
// ...
```
JSHandle prevents the referenced JavaScript object being garbage collected unless the handle is [disposed](#jshandledispose). JSHandles are auto-disposed when their origin frame gets navigated or the parent context gets destroyed.
JSHandle instances can be used as arguments in [`page.$eval()`](#pageevalselector-pagefunction-args), [`page.evaluate()`](#pageevaluatepagefunction-args) and [`page.evaluateHandle`](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-args) methods.

- [jsHandle.getProperties()](#jshandlegetproperties)
- [jsHandle.getProperty(propertyName)](#jshandlegetpropertypropertyname)
- [jsHandle.jsonValue()](#jshandlejsonvalue)
<!-- GEN:stop -->
#### jsHandle.asElement()
- returns: <?[ElementHandle]>
Returns either `null` or the object handle itself, if the object handle is an instance of [ElementHandle].
#### jsHandle.dispose()
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the object handle is successfully disposed.
The `jsHandle.dispose` method stops referencing the element handle.
#### jsHandle.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Object]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `handle.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const tweetHandle = await page.$('.tweet .retweets');
expect(await tweetHandle.evaluate(node => node.innerText)).toBe('10');
```
#### jsHandle.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as in-page object (JSHandle)
This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
The only difference between `jsHandle.evaluate` and `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` is that `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function passed to the `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
See [Page.evaluateHandle](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-args) for more details.
#### jsHandle.getProperties()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Map]<[string], [JSHandle]>>>
The method returns a map with property names as keys and JSHandle instances for the property values.
```js
const handle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => ({window, document}));
const properties = await handle.getProperties();
const windowHandle = properties.get('window');
const documentHandle = properties.get('document');
await handle.dispose();
```
#### jsHandle.getProperty(propertyName)
- `propertyName` <[string]> property to get
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>>
Fetches a single property from the referenced object.
#### jsHandle.jsonValue()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Object]>>
Returns a JSON representation of the object. If the object has a
[`toJSON`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify#toJSON()_behavior)
function, it **will not be called**.
> **NOTE** The method will return an empty JSON object if the referenced object is not stringifiable. It will throw an error if the object has circular references.
### class: ConsoleMessage
[ConsoleMessage] objects are dispatched by page via the ['console'](#event-console) event.
<!-- GEN:toc -->
- [consoleMessage.args()](#consolemessageargs)
- [consoleMessage.location()](#consolemessagelocation)

### class: Dialog
[Dialog] objects are dispatched by page via the ['dialog'](#event-dialog) event.
An example of using `Dialog` class:
```js
const { chromium } = require('playwright'); // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
page.on('dialog', async dialog => {
console.log(dialog.message());
await dialog.dismiss();
await browser.close();
});
page.evaluate(() => alert('1'));
})();
```

- [dialog.defaultValue()](#dialogdefaultvalue)
- [dialog.dismiss()](#dialogdismiss)
- [dialog.message()](#dialogmessage)
- [dialog.type()](#dialogtype)
<!-- GEN:stop -->
#### dialog.accept([promptText])
- `promptText` <[string]> A text to enter in prompt. Does not cause any effects if the dialog's `type` is not prompt.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the dialog has been accepted.
#### dialog.defaultValue()

#### dialog.message()
- returns: <[string]> A message displayed in the dialog.
#### dialog.type()
- returns: <[string]> Dialog's type, can be one of `alert`, `beforeunload`, `confirm` or `prompt`.
### class: Keyboard
Keyboard provides an api for managing a virtual keyboard. The high level api is [`keyboard.type`](#keyboardtypetext-options), which takes raw characters and generates proper keydown, keypress/input, and keyup events on your page.
For finer control, you can use [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey-options), [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey), and [`keyboard.sendCharacters`](#keyboardsendcharacterstext) to manually fire events as if they were generated from a real keyboard.
An example of holding down `Shift` in order to select and delete some text:
```js
await page.keyboard.type('Hello World!');
await page.keyboard.press('ArrowLeft');
await page.keyboard.down('Shift');
for (let i = 0; i < ' World'.length; i++)
await page.keyboard.press('ArrowLeft');
await page.keyboard.up('Shift');
await page.keyboard.press('Backspace');
// Result text will end up saying 'Hello!'
```
An example of pressing `A`
```js
await page.keyboard.down('Shift');
await page.keyboard.press('KeyA');
await page.keyboard.up('Shift');
```
> **NOTE** On MacOS, keyboard shortcuts like `⌘ A` -> Select All do not work. See [#1313](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/1313)

- `options` <[Object]>
- `text` <[string]> If specified, generates an input event with this text.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Dispatches a `keydown` event.
If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.
If `key` is a modifier key, `Shift`, `Meta`, `Control`, or `Alt`, subsequent key presses will be sent with that modifier active. To release the modifier key, use [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).
After the key is pressed once, subsequent calls to [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey-options) will have [repeat](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/repeat) set to true. To release the key, use [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).
> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO influence `keyboard.down`. Holding down `Shift` will type the text in upper case.

- returns: <[Promise]>
If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.
> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO effect `keyboard.press`. Holding down `Shift` will type the text in upper case.
Shortcut for [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey-options) and [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).
#### keyboard.sendCharacters(text)
- `text` <[string]> Characters to send into the page.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Dispatches a `keypress` and `input` event. This does not send a `keydown` or `keyup` event.
```js
page.keyboard.sendCharacters('嗨');
```
> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO NOT effect `keyboard.sendCharacters`. Holding down `Shift` will not type the text in upper case.
#### keyboard.type(text[, options])
- `text` <[string]> A text to type into a focused element.
- `options` <[Object]>
- `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between key presses in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.
To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [`keyboard.press`](#keyboardpresskey-options).
```js
await page.keyboard.type('Hello'); // Types instantly
await page.keyboard.type('World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```
> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO NOT effect `keyboard.type`. Holding down `Shift` will not type the text in upper case.
#### keyboard.up(key)
- `key` <[string]> Name of key to release, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [USKeyboardLayout] for a list of all key names.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Dispatches a `keyup` event.
### class: Mouse
The Mouse class operates in main-frame CSS pixels relative to the top-left corner of the viewport.

### class: Request
Whenever the page sends a request, such as for a network resource, the following events are emitted by playwright's page:
- [`'request'`](#event-request) emitted when the request is issued by the page.
- [`'response'`](#event-response) emitted when/if the response is received for the request.
- [`'requestfinished'`](#event-requestfinished) emitted when the response body is downloaded and the request is complete.
If request fails at some point, then instead of `'requestfinished'` event (and possibly instead of 'response' event), the [`'requestfailed'`](#event-requestfailed) event is emitted.
> **NOTE** HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with `'requestfinished'` event.
If request gets a 'redirect' response, the request is successfully finished with the 'requestfinished' event, and a new request is issued to a redirected url.

- `method` <[string]> If set changes the request method (e.g. GET or POST)
- `postData` <[string]> If set changes the post data of request
- `headers` <[Object]> If set changes the request HTTP headers. Header values will be converted to a string.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Continues request with optional request overrides. To use this, request interception should be enabled with `page.setRequestInterception`.
Exception is immediately thrown if the request interception is not enabled.
```js
await page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', request => {
// Override headers
const headers = Object.assign({}, request.headers(), {
foo: 'bar', // set "foo" header

request.continue({headers});
});
```
#### request.failure()
- returns: <?[Object]> Object describing request failure, if any
- `errorText` <[string]> Human-readable error message, e.g. `'net::ERR_FAILED'`.
The method returns `null` unless this request was failed, as reported by

be enabled with `page.setRequestInterception`. Exception is thrown if
request interception is not enabled.
An example of fulfilling all requests with 404 responses:
```js
await page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', request => {
request.respond({
status: 404,
contentType: 'text/plain',
body: 'Not Found!'
});
});
```
> **NOTE** Mocking responses for dataURL requests is not supported.
> Calling `request.respond` for a dataURL request is a noop.
#### request.headers()
- returns: <[Object]> An object with HTTP headers associated with the request. All header names are lower-case.
#### request.isNavigationRequest()

#### request.redirectChain()
- returns: <[Array]<[Request]>>
A `redirectChain` is a chain of requests initiated to fetch a resource.
- If there are no redirects and the request was successful, the chain will be empty.
- If a server responds with at least a single redirect, then the chain will
contain all the requests that were redirected.
`redirectChain` is shared between all the requests of the same chain.
For example, if the website `http://example.com` has a single redirect to
`https://example.com`, then the chain will contain one request:
```js
const response = await page.goto('http://example.com');
const chain = response.request().redirectChain();
console.log(chain.length); // 1
console.log(chain[0].url()); // 'http://example.com'
```
If the website `https://google.com` has no redirects, then the chain will be empty:
```js
const response = await page.goto('https://google.com');
const chain = response.request().redirectChain();
console.log(chain.length); // 0
```
#### request.resourceType()

TimeoutError is emitted whenever certain operations are terminated due to timeout, e.g. [page.waitForSelector(selector[, options])](#pagewaitforselectorselector-options) or [browserType.launch([options])](#browsertypelaunchoptions).
### class: Accessibility
The Accessibility class provides methods for inspecting Chromium's accessibility tree. The accessibility tree is used by assistive technology such as [screen readers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader) or [switches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_access).
Accessibility is a very platform-specific thing. On different platforms, there are different screen readers that might have wildly different output.
Blink - Chromium's rendering engine - has a concept of "accessibility tree", which is then translated into different platform-specific APIs. Accessibility namespace gives users
access to the Blink Accessibility Tree.
Most of the accessibility tree gets filtered out when converting from Blink AX Tree to Platform-specific AX-Tree or by assistive technologies themselves. By default, Playwright tries to approximate this filtering, exposing only the "interesting" nodes of the tree.
<!-- GEN:toc -->
- [accessibility.snapshot([options])](#accessibilitysnapshotoptions)
<!-- GEN:stop -->
#### accessibility.snapshot([options])
- `options` <[Object]>
- `interestingOnly` <[boolean]> Prune uninteresting nodes from the tree. Defaults to `true`.
- `root` <[ElementHandle]> The root DOM element for the snapshot. Defaults to the whole page.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Object]>> An [AXNode] object with the following properties:
- `role` <[string]> The [role](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#usage_intro).
- `name` <[string]> A human readable name for the node.
- `value` <[string]|[number]> The current value of the node.
- `description` <[string]> An additional human readable description of the node.
- `keyshortcuts` <[string]> Keyboard shortcuts associated with this node.
- `roledescription` <[string]> A human readable alternative to the role.
- `valuetext` <[string]> A description of the current value.
- `disabled` <[boolean]> Whether the node is disabled.
- `expanded` <[boolean]> Whether the node is expanded or collapsed.
- `focused` <[boolean]> Whether the node is focused.
- `modal` <[boolean]> Whether the node is [modal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window).
- `multiline` <[boolean]> Whether the node text input supports multiline.
- `multiselectable` <[boolean]> Whether more than one child can be selected.
- `readonly` <[boolean]> Whether the node is read only.
- `required` <[boolean]> Whether the node is required.

- `orientation` <[string]> Whether the node is oriented horizontally or vertically.
- `children` <[Array]<[Object]>> Child [AXNode]s of this node, if any.
Captures the current state of the accessibility tree. The returned object represents the root accessible node of the page.
> **NOTE** The Chromium accessibility tree contains nodes that go unused on most platforms and by
most screen readers. Playwright will discard them as well for an easier to process tree,
unless `interestingOnly` is set to `false`.
An example of dumping the entire accessibility tree:
```js
const snapshot = await page.accessibility.snapshot();
console.log(snapshot);
```
An example of logging the focused node's name:
```js
const snapshot = await page.accessibility.snapshot();
const node = findFocusedNode(snapshot);
console.log(node && node.name);
function findFocusedNode(node) {
if (node.focused)
return node;
for (const child of node.children || []) {
const foundNode = findFocusedNode(child);
return foundNode;
}
return null;
}
```
### class: Coverage
Coverage gathers information about parts of JavaScript and CSS that were used by the page.
An example of using JavaScript and CSS coverage to get percentage of initially
executed code:
```js
// Enable both JavaScript and CSS coverage
await Promise.all([
page.coverage.startJSCoverage(),
page.coverage.startCSSCoverage()
]);
// Navigate to page
await page.goto('https://example.com');
// Disable both JavaScript and CSS coverage
const [jsCoverage, cssCoverage] = await Promise.all([
page.coverage.stopJSCoverage(),
page.coverage.stopCSSCoverage(),
]);
let totalBytes = 0;
let usedBytes = 0;
const coverage = [...jsCoverage, ...cssCoverage];
for (const entry of coverage) {
totalBytes += entry.text.length;
for (const range of entry.ranges)
usedBytes += range.end - range.start - 1;
}
console.log(`Bytes used: ${usedBytes / totalBytes * 100}%`);
```

- returns: <[Promise]> Promise that resolves when coverage is started
> **NOTE** Anonymous scripts are ones that don't have an associated url. These are scripts that are dynamically created on the page using `eval` or `new Function`. If `reportAnonymousScripts` is set to `true`, anonymous scripts will have `__playwright_evaluation_script__` as their URL.
#### coverage.stopCSSCoverage()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[Object]>>> Promise that resolves to the array of coverage reports for all stylesheets
- `url` <[string]> StyleSheet URL

### class: Worker
The Worker class represents a [WebWorker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API).
The events `workercreated` and `workerdestroyed` are emitted on the page object to signal the worker lifecycle.
```js
page.on('workercreated', worker => console.log('Worker created: ' + worker.url()));
page.on('workerdestroyed', worker => console.log('Worker destroyed: ' + worker.url()));
console.log('Current workers:');
for (const worker of page.workers())
console.log(' ' + worker.url());
```
<!-- GEN:toc -->
- [worker.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])](#workerevaluatepagefunction-args)
- [worker.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])](#workerevaluatehandlepagefunction-args)
- [worker.url()](#workerurl)
<!-- GEN:stop -->
#### worker.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the worker context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
If the function passed to the `worker.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `worker.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function passed to the `worker.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `worker.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.
#### worker.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as in-page object (JSHandle)
The only difference between `worker.evaluate` and `worker.evaluateHandle` is that `worker.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function passed to the `worker.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `worker.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
#### worker.url()
- returns: <[string]>

Browser websocket endpoint which can be used as an argument to [browserType.connect(options)] to establish connection to the browser. Requires browser app to be launched with `browserType.launchBrowserApp({ webSocket: true, ... })`.
### class: BrowserType
BrowserType provides methods to launch a specific browser instance or connect to an existing one.
The following is a typical example of using Playwright to drive automation:
```js
const { chromium } = require('playwright'); // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage('http://example.com');
// other actions...
await browser.close();
})();
```

- [browserType.defaultArgs([options])](#browsertypedefaultargsoptions)
- [browserType.devices](#browsertypedevices)
- [browserType.errors](#browsertypeerrors)
- [browserType.executablePath()](#browsertypeexecutablepath)
- [browserType.launch([options])](#browsertypelaunchoptions)
- [browserType.launchBrowserApp([options])](#browsertypelaunchbrowserappoptions)
- [browserType.name()](#browsertypename)
<!-- GEN:stop -->
#### browserType.connect(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
- `browserWSEndpoint` <?[string]> A browser websocket endpoint to connect to.
- `slowMo` <[number]> Slows down Playwright operations by the specified amount of milliseconds. Useful so that you can see what is going on.
- `browserURL` <?[string]> **Chromium-only** A browser url to connect to, in format `http://${host}:${port}`. Use interchangeably with `browserWSEndpoint` to let Playwright fetch it from [metadata endpoint](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/#how-do-i-access-the-browser-target).
- `transport` <[ConnectionTransport]> **Experimental** Specify a custom transport object for Playwright to use.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Browser]>>
This methods attaches Playwright to an existing browser instance.
#### browserType.defaultArgs([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Set of configurable options to set on the browser. Can have the following fields:
- `headless` <[boolean]> Whether to run browser in headless mode. More details for [Chromium](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome) and [Firefox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Headless_mode). Defaults to `true` unless the `devtools` option is `true`.
- `args` <[Array]<[string]>> Additional arguments to pass to the browser instance. The list of Chromium flags can be found [here](http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/).
- `userDataDir` <[string]> Path to a [User Data Directory](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/user_data_dir.md).
- `devtools` <[boolean]> **Chromium-only** Whether to auto-open a Developer Tools panel for each tab. If this option is `true`, the `headless` option will be set `false`.
- returns: <[Array]<[string]>>
The default flags that browser will be launched with.
#### browserType.devices
- returns: <[Object]>
Returns a list of devices to be used with [`browser.newContext(options)`](#browsernewcontextoptions). Actual list of
devices can be found in [src/deviceDescriptors.ts](https://github.com/Microsoft/playwright/blob/master/src/deviceDescriptors.ts).
```js
const { webkit } = require('playwright');
const iPhone = webkit.devices['iPhone 6'];
(async () => {
const browser = await webkit.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext({
viewport: iPhone.viewport,
userAgent: iPhone.userAgent
});
const page = await context.newPage('http://example.com');
// other actions...
await browser.close();
})();
```
#### browserType.errors
- returns: <[Object]>
- `TimeoutError` <[function]> A class of [TimeoutError].
Playwright methods might throw errors if they are unable to fulfill a request. For example, [page.waitForSelector(selector[, options])](#pagewaitforselectorselector-options)
might fail if the selector doesn't match any nodes during the given timeframe.
For certain types of errors Playwright uses specific error classes.
These classes are available via [`browserType.errors`](#browsertypeerrors) or [`playwright.errors`](#playwrighterrors).
An example of handling a timeout error:
```js
const { webkit } = require('playwright'); // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'.
try {
await page.waitForSelector('.foo');
} catch (e) {
if (e instanceof webkit.errors.TimeoutError) {
// Do something if this is a timeout.
}
}
```
#### browserType.executablePath()
- returns: <[string]> A path where Playwright expects to find a bundled browser.
#### browserType.launch([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Set of configurable options to set on the browser. Can have the following fields:
- `headless` <[boolean]> Whether to run browser in headless mode. More details for [Chromium](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome) and [Firefox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Headless_mode). Defaults to `true` unless the `devtools` option is `true`.
- `executablePath` <[string]> Path to a browser executable to run instead of the bundled one. If `executablePath` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd). **BEWARE**: Playwright is only [guaranteed to work](https://github.com/Microsoft/playwright/#q-why-doesnt-playwright-vxxx-work-with-chromium-vyyy) with the bundled Chromium, Firefox or WebKit, use at your own risk.
- `slowMo` <[number]> Slows down Playwright operations by the specified amount of milliseconds. Useful so that you can see what is going on.
- `args` <[Array]<[string]>> Additional arguments to pass to the browser instance. The list of Chromium flags can be found [here](http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/).
- `ignoreDefaultArgs` <[boolean]|[Array]<[string]>> If `true`, then do not use [`browserType.defaultArgs()`](#browsertypedefaultargsoptions). If an array is given, then filter out the given default arguments. Dangerous option; use with care. Defaults to `false`.
- `handleSIGINT` <[boolean]> Close the browser process on Ctrl-C. Defaults to `true`.
- `handleSIGTERM` <[boolean]> Close the browser process on SIGTERM. Defaults to `true`.
- `handleSIGHUP` <[boolean]> Close the browser process on SIGHUP. Defaults to `true`.
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum time in milliseconds to wait for the browser instance to start. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout.
- `dumpio` <[boolean]> Whether to pipe the browser process stdout and stderr into `process.stdout` and `process.stderr`. Defaults to `false`.
- `userDataDir` <[string]> Path to a User Data Directory, which stores browser session data like cookies and local storage. More details for [Chromium](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/user_data_dir.md) and [Firefox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#User_Profile).
- `env` <[Object]> Specify environment variables that will be visible to the browser. Defaults to `process.env`.
- `webSocket` <[boolean]> Connects to the browser over a WebSocket instead of a pipe. Defaults to `false`.
- `devtools` <[boolean]> **Chromium-only** Whether to auto-open a Developer Tools panel for each tab. If this option is `true`, the `headless` option will be set `false`.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Browser]>> Promise which resolves to browser instance.
You can use `ignoreDefaultArgs` to filter out `--mute-audio` from default arguments:
```js
const browser = await chromium.launch({ // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.
ignoreDefaultArgs: ['--mute-audio']
});
```
> **Chromium-only** Playwright can also be used to control the Chrome browser, but it works best with the version of Chromium it is bundled with. There is no guarantee it will work with any other version. Use `executablePath` option with extreme caution.
>
> If Google Chrome (rather than Chromium) is preferred, a [Chrome Canary](https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html) or [Dev Channel](https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel) build is suggested.
>
> In [browserType.launch([options])](#browsertypelaunchoptions) above, any mention of Chromium also applies to Chrome.
>
> See [`this article`](https://www.howtogeek.com/202825/what%E2%80%99s-the-difference-between-chromium-and-chrome/) for a description of the differences between Chromium and Chrome. [`This article`](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/docs/chromium_browser_vs_google_chrome.md) describes some differences for Linux users.

### Working with selectors
Selector describes an element in the page. It can be used to obtain `ElementHandle` (see [page.$()](#pageselector) for example) or shortcut element operations to avoid intermediate handle (see [page.click()](#pageclickselector-options) for example).
Selector has the following format: `engine=body [>> engine=body]*`. Here `engine` is one of the supported selector engines (currently, either `css` or `xpath`), and `body` is a selector body in the format of the particular engine. When multiple `engine=body` clauses are present (separated by `>>`), next one is queried relative to the previous one's result.
For convenience, selectors in the wrong format are heuristically converted to the right format:
- selector starting with `//` is assumed to be `xpath=selector`;
- selector starting with `"` is assumed to be `zs=selector`;
- otherwise selector is assumed to be `css=selector`.
```js
// queries 'div' css selector
const handle = await page.$('css=div');
// queries '//html/body/div' xpath selector
const handle = await page.$('xpath=//html/body/div');
// queries '"foo"' zs selector
const handle = await page.$('zs="foo"');
// queries 'span' css selector inside the result of '//html/body/div' xpath selector
const handle = await page.$('xpath=//html/body/div >> css=span');
// converted to 'css=div'
const handle = await page.$('div');
// converted to 'xpath=//html/body/div'
const handle = await page.$('//html/body/div');
// converted to 'zs="foo"'
const handle = await page.$('"foo"');
// queries 'span' css selector inside the div handle
const handle = await divHandle.$('css=span');
```
### Working with Chrome Extensions
Playwright can be used for testing Chrome Extensions.
> **NOTE** Extensions in Chrome / Chromium currently only work in non-headless mode.
The following is code for getting a handle to the [background page](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages) of an extension whose source is located in `./my-extension`:
```js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const pathToExtension = require('path').join(__dirname, 'my-extension');
const browser = await chromium.launch({
headless: false,
args: [
`--disable-extensions-except=${pathToExtension}`,
`--load-extension=${pathToExtension}`
]
});
const targets = await browser.targets();
const backgroundPageTarget = targets.find(target => target.type() === 'background_page');
const backgroundPage = await backgroundPageTarget.page();
// Test the background page as you would any other page.
await browser.close();
})();
```
> **NOTE** It is not yet possible to test extension popups or content scripts.
