🎁 cypress-element

cypress-element is under active development. You can help speed up the release of the stable version: try to use it in your projects and write about issues.

Cypress composition API for writing tests for a large application, focused on reusable, decomposition and beautiful typescript support.

You should use cypress-element when:

• You feel problems with your page object.
• Your cypress tests now have many methods for interacting with custom elements.
• You are looking for a solution that will allow you to separate utility code from tests.
• You love Cypress and QA.

Main concept:

• ✨ Simple: Everything is an element – one pattern for describing anything
• 🌳 Composable: element can be organized in nesting of elements hierarchy
• 🛠 Customisable: You can create your elements
• ⏳ Reusable: You can save elements hierarchy
• ✌ Friendly: TypeScript first, autocomplete, auto type

Installing

npm i -D cypress-element
# or
yarn add -D cypress-element

Usage

Then, in your test, you can write

import el from "cypress-element";

const page = el("div", {
  button: el("button"),
});

it("test", () => {
  page.visit("/test.html");
  page.button.click();
});

Motivation

Today real apps usually work on one of the frameworks: React, Vue, and Agular. All popular frontend frameworks are based on concepts: composition structures and the idea of everything is a component. QA can use the same ideas in tests and take benefits of this.

cypress-element allows you not to think about the implementation. You can focus on business use-case checks
