type(selector, text[, options])

Warning
Use locator-based locator.type() instead.

Type the text in the first element found that matches the selector.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
selector	string	`''`	A selector to search for an element. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.
text	string	`''`	A text to type into a focused element.
options	object	`null`
options.delay	number	`0`	Milliseconds to wait between key presses. Defaults to `0`.
options.noWaitAfter	boolean	`false`	If set to `true` and a navigation occurs from performing this action, it will not wait for it to complete.
options.strict	boolean	`false`	When `true`, the call requires selector to resolve to a single element. If given selector resolves to more than one element, the call throws an exception.
options.timeout	number	`30000`	Maximum time in milliseconds. Pass `0` to disable the timeout. Default is overridden by the `setDefaultTimeout` option on BrowserContext or Page.

Returns

Type	Description
`Promise<void>`	A Promise that fulfills when the text has been typed.
