How to interact with dropdowns and select elements in Puppeteer?

Interacting with dropdowns and select elements in Puppeteer involves a few steps:

Use the page.select method to select an option from a dropdown menu. You will need to provide the selector for the dropdown element as well as the value of the option you want to select.

await page.select('select#dropdown', 'option-value');

If the dropdown menu is a custom dropdown that does not have an HTML select element, you can interact with it by clicking on the dropdown to display the options and then clicking on the desired option. You can use the page.click method to click on the dropdown and the option.

await page.click('dropdown-selector');
await page.waitForSelector('option-selector');
await page.click('option-selector');

If you need to input data into a select element (e.g., a autocomplete select), you can use the page.type method to simulate typing into the input field and then use the arrow keys to navigate and select an option.

await page.type('select-input-selector', 'option');
await page.keyboard.press('ArrowDown');
await page.keyboard.press('Enter');

By following these steps, you can interact with dropdowns and select elements in Puppeteer to programmatically select options and retrieve data from web pages.
