cypress-real-events

What is cypress-real-events?

The cypress-real-events package provides a set of commands to simulate real user interactions in Cypress tests. This includes actions like clicking, typing, and hovering, which are more realistic compared to the default Cypress commands.

What are cypress-real-events's main functionalities?

Real Click

Simulates a real user click on a button element. This is more accurate than the default Cypress click command as it mimics the actual user interaction.

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

Real Type

Simulates real typing into an input field. This is useful for testing scenarios where the timing and sequence of keystrokes matter.

cy.get('input').realType('Hello World');

Real Hover

Simulates a real user hovering over an element. This can be used to test hover states and tooltips.

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

Real Press

Simulates pressing a key on the keyboard. This is useful for testing keyboard shortcuts and form submissions.

cy.get('input').realPress('Enter');
