API Reference (TBC)

Classes

Adapter

abstract object. Should be extended when used and not directly used as it is missing "length" method

Kind: global class

• Adapter
  • new Adapter(e)
  • .context([Element]) ⇒ Array.<(string|number)>
  • .contextulise(e) ⇒ Object

new Adapter(e)

adapter.context(Element) ⇒ Array.<(string|number)>

get an "absolute" selector, where the context of the adapter "prefixed" on to the elements selector

Kind: instance method of Adapter

adapter.contextulise(e) ⇒ Object

Kind: instance method of Adapter

Element

represents a single Element

Kind: global class

• Element
  • new Element([selector], [adapter], [index])
  • .selector ⇒ Array.<(string|number)>
  • .index ⇒ number
  • .adapter ⇒ adapter

new Element(selector, adapter, index)

element.selector ⇒ Array.<(string|number)>

Kind: instance property of Element

element.index ⇒ number

Kind: instance property of Element

element.adapter ⇒ adapter

Kind: instance property of Element

Elements

represents a collection of Elements

Kind: global class

• Elements
  • .length ⇒ Promise.<int>
  • .first ⇒ Element
  • .last ⇒ Element
  • .at(nth) ⇒ Element

elements.length ⇒ Promise.<int>

promises to return the length of elements in the collection

Kind: instance property of Elements

elements.first ⇒ Element

returns an object that represents the first element in collection

Kind: instance property of Elements

elements.last ⇒ Element

returns an object that represents the last element in the collection

Kind: instance property of Elements

elements.at(nth) ⇒ Element

returns an object that represents the nth element in collection

Kind: instance method of Elements

Interface

represents a whole or sub interface of "elements :?"

Kind: global class

• Interface
  • new Interface(adapter)
  • .adapter ⇒ Object
  • .root ⇒ Element
  • .element(name, selector) ⇒ Element
  • .elements(name, selector) ⇒ Array.<Element>
  • .section(SubInterface, name, selector) ⇒ Interface
  • .sections(SubInterface, name, selector) ⇒ Interfaces

new Interface(adapter)

interface.adapter ⇒ Object

Kind: instance property of Interface

interface.root ⇒ Element

Kind: instance property of Interface

interface.element(name, selector) ⇒ Element

Kind: instance method of Interface

interface.elements(name, selector) ⇒ Array.<Element>

Kind: instance method of Interface

interface.section(SubInterface, name, selector) ⇒ Interface

Kind: instance method of Interface

interface.sections(SubInterface, name, selector) ⇒ Interfaces

Kind: instance method of Interface

Interfaces

represents a collection of Interfaces

Kind: global class

• Interfaces
  • new Interfaces(SubInterface, adapter)
  • .adapter ⇒ Object
  • .length ⇒ Promise.<int>
  • .first ⇒ Element
  • .last ⇒ Element
  • .at(nth) ⇒ Element

new Interfaces(SubInterface, adapter)

interfaces.adapter ⇒ Object

Kind: instance property of Interfaces

interfaces.length ⇒ Promise.<int>

promises to return the length of interfaces in the collection

Kind: instance property of Interfaces

interfaces.first ⇒ Element

returns an object that represents the first inteface in collection

Kind: instance property of Interfaces

interfaces.last ⇒ Element

returns an object that represents the last inteface in the collection

Kind: instance property of Interfaces

interfaces.at(nth) ⇒ Element

returns an object that represents the nth inteface in collection

Kind: instance method of Interfaces

Custom Adapter interface

The following methods are the minimum requirements for a custom adapter:

contextulise({Element} e)   => {Object}         (dependants: Interface, Interfaces)
context({Element} e)        => {string}         (dependants: Element)
length(Element e)           => {number}         (dependants: Elements, Interfaces)
methods()                   => {Array<string>}  Optional: (dependants: Element)

See lib/adapter/webdriverio.js.

Road Map

v0.0.1

• proof of concept
• used for a production ready system #proofOfUsefulness
• complete documentation and examples
• implement selenium driver based adapter (webdriverio, selenium-webdriver)
• implement non-selenium driver adapter (phantomjs, zombiejs)
• update documentation and examples
• rename Interface(s) => Component(s)
• rename adapter.contextulise => clone

Thoughts

• Could this be used to write run browser driven tests, from within a browser? (e.g. using a insecure iframe ;)
• Better error handling?
• Performance?
