@redmedical/hvstr-core v1.2.1

hvstr

hvstr is an open source page object generator for protractor. With hvstr, you'll never have to write annoying page objects again. Just place some e2e attributes in your project, tell hvstr how to reach your page and it will generate the page objects for you.

Quick Start

1. Install

   Install from NPM:

   > npm install --save @redmedical/hvstr-client
   > npm install --save-dev @redmedical/hvstr-core ts-node

2. Initialize the IdCollector in your apps main file:

   in main.ts:

   import { IdCollector } from '@redmedical/hvstr-client';
   
   if (!environment.production) {
       IdCollector.init();
   }

3. Add the ID collector:
   Copy the e2e-id directive in to your own project and declare it.

   in NgModules:

   @NgModule({
     <...>
     declarations: [
       E2eIdDirective,
       <...>
     ],
   })

   And adapt the path to your environment config in the directive.

4. Add npm script and hvstr config:

   Create a hvstr config file from the example.
   Now you can add a npm script, to generate your page object:

In package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "hvstr": "node ./node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor ./hvstr.conf.js",
    <...>
  }
}

5. Now you can add your hvstr script, to generate your page objects:

   Use the Example and begin to generate your page objects.

   Adapt the path in the hvstr.conf.js to your hvstr script (the main.hvstr.ts for example).

   Add your first page object

   First of all you need to mark every element/component in your application, which should be added to the page object. You can do this by tagging these elements with our (in step 3) created IDCollector directive:

   for example in app.component.html:

   <h1 e2e="title">My App</h1>
   <app-some-component e2e="component">
   <footer e2e="page-footer">...</footer>

   Now we can instruct hvstr to generate the page object with the simple call:

in main.hvstr.ts:

  let startPage = await pageObjectBuilder.generate({
    name: 'HomePage',
    byRoute: '/home',
  });

6. Run:

Serve your application (npm start or ng serve) Finally you can run the npm script npm run hvstr and hvstr will generate your page objects.
