Locator class provides ‘elementHandle’, 'elementHandles' methods to get the matching DOM elements.

 

Signature to get one DOM element

ElementHandle elementHandle()

ElementHandle elementHandle(ElementHandleOptions options)

Get ElementHandle to the matching DOM element. If no elements matching the query are visible, waits for them up to a given timeout. If multiple elements match the selector then it throws an exception.

 

Example

ElementHandle elementHandle = page.locator("#para3").elementHandle();

 

List elementHandles()

Resolves given locator to all Matching Dom Elements.

 

Example

List elementHandles = page.locator(".para").elementHandles();
for (ElementHandle elementHandleTemp : elementHandles) {
	System.out.println(elementHandleTemp.textContent());
}
