waitForUrl() method is used by the playwright to wait for the specified URL till it stops loading and completes fully.

A glob pattern or any regex pattern receiving URL is provided to match while waiting for the navigation.

waitUntil "load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle"|"commit"

domcontentloaded: Operation to be finished when the domcontentloaded event is fired.
load: Operation to be completed when the load is fired.
networkidle: Operation to be completed when networkidle is fired when there are no network connections.
commit: Operation to be completed when network response is received, and the doc starts loading.

Example:

await page.goto('https://www.programsbuzz.com/');
             await page.locator('.fa-search').click()
          await page.locator('#edit-keys').type('Playwright')
          await page.locator('#edit-submit').click()
          await page.waitForURL('https://www.programsbuzz.com/search/node?keys=Playwright')           

• Here we used waitForURL to the URL where when clicked on the search bar 'go.'
• This will wait for the specified URL and then prepares the page for other operations.
