Locators

Locators in ShadowdriverJS are used to find elements on a web page. Here are the different locator strategies available:

by.xpath​

Locate elements using an XPath expression.

const element = await element(by.xpath('//div[@class="example"]'));

by.id​

Find elements by their unique ID attribute.

const element = await element(by.id('uniqueId'));

by.name​

Locate elements by the name attribute.

const element = await element(by.name('elementName'));

by.css​

Select elements using a CSS selector.

const element = await element(by.css('.example-class'));

by.text​

Find elements that match a specific text.

const element = await element(by.text('Example Text'));

by.linkText​

Locate anchor elements by their link text.

const element = await element(by.linkText('Click Here'));

by.partialText​

Find elements containing partial text matches.

const element = await element(by.partialText('Click'));

by.buttonText​

Locate button elements by their displayed text.

const element = await element(by.buttonText('Submit'));

These locators help you interact with elements on the web page effectively.
