How to pass a function in Puppeteers .evaluate() method?

You cannot pass a function directly into page.evaluate(), but you can call another special method (page.exposeFunction), which expose your function as a global function (also available in as an attribute of your page window object), so you can call it when you are inside page.evaluate():

var myFunc = function() { console.log("lol"); };
await page.exposeFunction("myFunc", myFunc);

await page.evaluate(async () => {
   await myFunc();
   return true;
});

Just remember that page.exposeFunction() will make your function return a Promise, then, you need to use async and await. This happens because your function will not be running inside your browser, but inside your nodejs application.
