HtmlElements is .NET library complementing to Selenium WebDriver page object model by allowing you to create more complex and sophysticated page objects. It also provides set of standard page objects for commonly used HTML elements (links, input fields, images, frames, etc), alternative wait syntax, smart frames and some other usefull utilities. You can add it to your project by installing HtmlElements nuget package. More information can be found in API reference.

Web components

The main goal of HtmlElements library is to represent any given page or part of a page as set of smaller reusable components. Every component is a class having any number of nested components and public methods. Smaller components create a hierarchy similar to DOM with a page component at the top.

Assuming we would like to model a page listing nuget packages (https://www.nuget.org/packages) we could describe every package from list as a separate component and then have list of such components inside page object describing page as a whole.

public class NugetPackageListPage {
    
    [FindsBy(How = How.CssSelector, Using = "#searchBoxInput"), CacheLookup]
    private IWebElement _searchInput;

    [FindsBy(How = How.CssSelector, Using = "#searchBoxSubmit"), CacheLookup]
    private IWebElement _searchBtn;

    public IList<NugetPackageItem> Packages { get; private set; }

    public void Search(String query){
        _searchInput.EnterText(query);
        _searchBtn.Click();
    }

}

[CacheLookup]
[ElementLocator(How = How.CssSelector, Using = "#searchResults li")]
public class NugetPackageItem : HtmlElement {

    [FindsBy(How = How.CssSelector, Using = "h1>a"), CacheLookup]
    private HtmlElement _name;

    [FindsBy(How = How.CssSelector, Using = "article>p:nth-child(2)"), CacheLookup]
    private HtmlElement _description;

    [FindsBy(How = How.CssSelector, Using = ".downloads"), CacheLookup]
    private HtmlElement _downloads;
    
    public String Name { 
        get {
            return _name.Text;
        }
    }

    public String Description {
        get {
            return _description.Text;
        }
    }

    public String Downloads {
        get {
            return _downloads.Text;
        }
    }
}

IWebDriver webDriver = new FirefoxDriver();

IPageObjectFactory pageFactory = new PageObjectFactory();

NugetPackageListPage page = pageFactory.Create<NugetPackageListPage>(webDriver);

PageObjectFactory is creating and initializing page objects. It is one of the core library components since it creates and recursively initializes all page objects in a given hierarchy. Page factory can initialize fields and properties which type is derived from IWebElement or IList<IWebElement>. It can create (and initialize) page object of any type using default or custom constructor. It also provides few extension points.

Default page factory implementation wraps raw WebElements located in browser into proxy loading elements on demand and handling StaleElementReferenceException by reloading the underlying element. It is possible to change how proxy is being created by implementing IProxyFactory interface and how elements are loaded by implementing ILoaderFactory interface. Also it is possible to change the way how new page objects are being instantiated by overriding CreatePageObjectInstance default factory method and how page object members are being initialized by overriding CreateMemberInstance method.

Please refer to API reference for more details.
