@types/cypress

What is @types/cypress?

@types/cypress provides TypeScript definitions for Cypress, a popular end-to-end testing framework. These type definitions help developers write Cypress tests in TypeScript, offering better code completion, type checking, and overall improved developer experience.

What are @types/cypress's main functionalities?

Type Definitions for Cypress Commands

Provides type definitions for common Cypress commands like `cy.get` and `cy.click`, ensuring type safety and better code completion.

cy.get('button').click();

Custom Commands

Allows developers to define custom commands with type safety, making it easier to extend Cypress functionality.

Cypress.Commands.add('login', (email, password) => { cy.get('input[name=email]').type(email); cy.get('input[name=password]').type(password); cy.get('button[type=submit]').click(); });

Type Definitions for Cypress Configuration

Provides type definitions for Cypress configuration options, ensuring that configuration objects are correctly typed.

const config: Cypress.Config = { baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000', env: { apiUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/api' } };

Type Definitions for Cypress Fixtures

Ensures type safety when working with fixtures, allowing developers to load and use fixture data with proper type checking.

cy.fixture('user.json').then((user) => { cy.get('input[name=firstName]').type(user.firstName); });

Other packages similar to @types/cypress

@types/jest

@types/jest provides TypeScript definitions for Jest, a popular JavaScript testing framework. While Jest is more focused on unit and integration testing, Cypress is designed for end-to-end testing. Both packages offer type safety and improved developer experience for their respective testing frameworks.

@types/mocha

@types/mocha provides TypeScript definitions for Mocha, a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on Node.js and in the browser. Mocha is often used for unit and integration testing, whereas Cypress is specifically designed for end-to-end testing. Both packages enhance the developer experience by providing type definitions.

@types/protractor

@types/protractor provides TypeScript definitions for Protractor, an end-to-end test framework for Angular and AngularJS applications. While Protractor is specifically designed for Angular, Cypress is framework-agnostic and can be used with any web application. Both packages offer type safety for their respective testing frameworks.

cypress provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/cypress installed!
