[Feature] ElementHandle.getTagName()

See original GitHub issue

I’d like to retrieve the name of the tag from a playwright.ElementHandle, and it seems like this is not possible at the moment.

Something like

const $parent = await $el.$('xpath=..');
const tagName = await $parent.getTagName(); // <--

our ElementHandle extend JSHandle, so you can do

const tagName = await $parent.evaluate(e => e.tagName);
// or
const tagName = await $parent.getProperty('tagName');

Yep that was me (https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/4377)

I will need the the call to be isolated. Happy to try and open a PR for #4377 if someone could point me in the right direction, otherwise I’ll probably end up adding this in a fork because it looks simpler and using that for now.
