MetaList <Supported_Context_Type, Item_Type>

Serenity/JS Screenplay Pattern-style wrapper around a ChainableMetaQuestion representing a collection that can be resolved in Supported_Context_Type of another Question.

For example, PageElements.located returns MetaList<PageElement>, which allows for the collection of page elements to be resolved in the context of dynamically-provided root element.

import { By, PageElements, PageElement } from '@serenity-js/web'

const firstLabel = () =>
  PageElements.located(By.css('label'))
     .first()
     .describedAs('first label')

const exampleForm = () =>
  PageElement.located(By.css('form#example1'))
     .describedAs('example form')

const anotherExampleForm = () =>
  PageElement.located(By.css('form#example2'))
     .describedAs('another example form')

// Next, you can compose the above questions dynamically with various "contexts":
//   firstLabel().of(exampleForm())
//   firstLabel().of(anotherExampleForm())

Methods

publicas

• as<O>(mapping: (answer: Item_Type[]) => O | Promise<O>): QuestionAdapter<O>

• Inherited from List.as

  Maps this question to one of a different type.

  Question.about('number returned as string', actor => '42')   // returns: QuestionAdapter<string>
    .as(Number)                                                // returns: QuestionAdapter<number>

  Type parameters

  • O

  Parameters

  • mapping: (answer: Item_Type[]) => O | Promise<O>

  Returns QuestionAdapter<O>

forEach

• forEach(callback: (current: CurrentItem<Item_Type>, index: number, items: Item_Type[]) => void | Promise<void>): Task

• Inherited from List.forEach

  Parameters

  • callback: (current: CurrentItem<Item_Type>, index: number, items: Item_Type[]) => void | Promise<void>

  Returns Task

answeredBy

• answeredBy(actor: AnswersQuestions & UsesAbilities): Promise<Item_Type[]>

• Inherited from List.answeredBy

  Instructs the provided Actor to use their abilities to answer this question.

  ---

  Parameters

  • actor: AnswersQuestions & UsesAbilities

  Returns Promise<Item_Type[]>

describedAs

• describedAs(subject: string): MetaList<Supported_Context_Type, Item_Type>

• Inherited from List.describedAs

  Changes the description of this question’s subject.

  ---

  Parameters

  • subject: string

  Returns MetaList<Supported_Context_Type, Item_Type>

toString

• toString(): string

• Implementation of ChainableMetaQuestion.toString

  Inherited from List.toString

  Human-readable description of this MetaQuestion, typically involving the description of the subject.

  For example, a description of a meta question obout “the text of an element” would be text of ${ element.toString() }

  Returns string

of

• of(context: Answerable<Supported_Context_Type>): MetaList<Supported_Context_Type, Item_Type>

• Implementation of ChainableMetaQuestion.of

  Answers the given ChainableMetaQuestion in the context of another Answerable and returns another ChainableMetaQuestion ready for further chaining.
