How to fill an input field using Puppeteer?
Just set value of input like this:
await page.$eval('#email', el => el.value = '[email protected]');
Here is an example of using it on Wikipedia:
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://en.wikipedia.org', {waitUntil: 'networkidle2'});
await page.waitForSelector('input[name=search]');
// await page.type('input[name=search]', 'Adenosine triphosphate');
await page.$eval('input[name=search]', el => el.value = 'Adenosine triphosphate');
await page.click('input[type="submit"]');
await page.waitForSelector('#mw-content-text');
const text = await page.evaluate(() => {
const anchor = document.querySelector('#mw-content-text');
return anchor.textContent;
});
console.log(text);
await browser.close();
})();
another way doing
await page.focus('#email')
await page.keyboard.type('test54')
To extend the accepted answer above, you can use $eval with locally scoped variables too,
const myLocalValue = 'Adenosine triphosphate';
await page.$eval('input[name=search]', (el, value) => el.value = value, myLocalValue);
This will take 'myLocalValue' from the local scope, and pass it into the browser scope as 'value'
