# Assertions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The Playwright API can be used to read element contents and properties for test assertions. These values are fetched from the browser page and asserted in
 | 
						|
Node.js.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The examples in this guide use the built-in [`assert` module](https://nodejs.org/api/assert.html), but they can be used with any assertion library (like [Expect](https://www.npmjs.com/package/expect) or [Chai](https://www.npmjs.com/package/chai)). See [Test runners](test-runners.md) for more info.

## Common patterns
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Playwright provides convenience APIs for common assertion tasks, like finding the
 | 
						|
text content of an element. These APIs require a [selector](selectors.md) to locate
 | 
						|
the element.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// Assert text content
 | 
						|
const content = await page.textContent('nav:first-child');
 | 
						|
assert(content === 'home');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Assert inner text
 | 
						|
const text = await page.innerText('.selected');
 | 
						|
assert(text === 'value');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Assert inner HTML
 | 
						|
const html = await page.innerHTML('div.result');
 | 
						|
assert(html === '<p>Result</p>')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Assert `checked` attribute
 | 
						|
const checked = await page.getAttribute('input', 'checked');
 | 
						|
assert(checked);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### API reference
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- [page.textContent(selector[, options])](api.md#pagetextcontentselector-options)
 | 
						|
- [page.innerText(selector[, options])](api.md#pageinnertextselector-options)
 | 
						|
- [page.innerHTML(selector[, options])](api.md#pageinnerhtmlselector-options)
 | 
						|
- [page.getAttribute(selector, name[, options])](api.md#pagegetattributeselector-name-options)
 | 
						|
- [frame.textContent(selector[, options])](api.md#frametextcontentselector-options)
 | 
						|
- [frame.innerText(selector[, options])](api.md#frameinnertextselector-options)
 | 
						|
- [frame.innerHTML(selector[, options])](api.md#frameinnerhtmlselector-options)
 | 
						|
- [frame.getAttribute(selector, name[, options])](api.md#framegetattributeselector-name-options)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<br/>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Element Handles
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[ElementHandle](api.md#class-elementhandle) objects represent in-page DOM
 | 
						|
elements. They can be used to assert for multiple properties of the element.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It is recommended to fetch the `ElementHandle` object with
 | 
						|
[`page.waitForSelector`](api.md#pagewaitforselectorselector-options) or
 | 
						|
[`frame.waitForSelector`](api.md#framewaitforselectorselector-options). These
 | 
						|
APIs wait for the element to be visible and then return an `ElementHandle`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// Get the element handle
 | 
						|
const elementHandle = page.waitForSelector('#box');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Assert bounding box for the element
 | 
						|
const boundingBox = await elementHandle.boundingBox();
 | 
						|
assert(boundingBox.width === 100);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Assert attribute for the element
 | 
						|
const classNames = await elementHandle.getAttribute('class');
 | 
						|
assert(classNames.includes('highlighted'));
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### API reference
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- [elementHandle.textContent()](api.md#elementhandletextcontent)
 | 
						|
- [elementHandle.innerText()](api.md#elementhandleinnertext)
 | 
						|
- [elementHandle.innerHTML()](api.md#elementhandleinnerhtml)
 | 
						|
- [elementHandle.getAttribute(name)](api.md#elementhandlegetattributename)
 | 
						|
- [elementHandle.boundingBox()](api.md#elementhandleboundingbox)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<br/>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Custom assertions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
With Playwright, you can also write custom JavaScript to run in the context of
 | 
						|
the browser. This is useful in situations where you want to assert for values
 | 
						|
that are not covered by the convenience APIs above.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following APIs do not auto-wait for the element. It is recommended to use
 | 
						|
[`page.waitForSelector`](api.md#pagewaitforselectorselector-options) or
 | 
						|
[`frame.waitForSelector`](api.md#framewaitforselectorselector-options).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// Assert local storage value
 | 
						|
const userId = page.evaluate(() => window.localStorage.getItem('userId'));
 | 
						|
assert(userId);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Assert value for input element
 | 
						|
await page.waitForSelector('#search');
 | 
						|
const value = await page.$eval('#search', el => el.value);
 | 
						|
assert(value === 'query');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Assert computed style
 | 
						|
const fontSize = await page.$eval('div', el => window.getComputedStyle(el).fontSize);
 | 
						|
assert(fontSize === '16px');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Assert list length
 | 
						|
const length = await page.$$eval('li.selected', (items) => items.length);
 | 
						|
assert(length === 3);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
