getAllByDisplayValue<E extends Element> function Null safety ByDisplayValue Queries

List<E> getAllByDisplayValue<E extends Element>(
  1. Node container,
  2. dynamic value,
  3. {bool exact = true,
  4. NormalizerFn normalizer(
    1. [NormalizerOptions?]
    )?}
)

Returns a list of InputElements, TextAreaElements or SelectElements that have the matching value displayed, defaulting to an exact match.

Throws if no elements are found within the provided container. Use queryAllByDisplayValue if a RTE is not expected.

Prefer using ByLabelText queries for form elements when possible in order to query for elements in a way that most reflects how the user would interact with them.

Example

The examples below demonstrate the usage of the getByDisplayValue query. However, the example is also relevant for getAllByDisplayValue, queryByDisplayValue, queryAllByDisplayValue, findByDisplayValue and findAllByDisplayValue.

<input type="text" name="lastName" value="Norris" />
<textarea name="message">Hello World</textarea>
<select name="usStates">
  <option value="">State</option>
  <option value="AL">Alabama</option>
  <option selected value="AK">Alaska</option>
  <option value="AZ">Arizona</option>
</select>
import 'package:react/react.dart' as react;
import 'package:react_testing_library/matchers.dart' show isInTheDocument;
import 'package:react_testing_library/react_testing_library.dart' as rtl;
import 'package:test/test.dart';

main() {
  test('', () {
    // Render the DOM shown in the example snippet above
    final view = rtl.render(react.div({},
      react.input({
        'type': 'text',
        'name': 'lastName',
        'defaultValue': 'Norris',
      }),
      react.textarea({
        'name': 'message',
        'defaultValue': 'Hello World',
      }),
      react.select({'name': 'usStates'},
        react.option({'value': ''}, 'State'),
        react.option({'value': 'AL'}, 'Alabama'),
        react.option({'value': 'AK', 'selected': true}, 'Alaska'),
        react.option({'value': 'AZ'}, 'Arizona'),
      ),
    ));

    expect(view.getByDisplayValue('Norris'), isInTheDocument);

    expect(view.getByDisplayValue('Hello World'), isInTheDocument);

    // In the case of a `<select>`, this will search for a `<select>`
    // whose selected `<option>` matches the given `TextMatch`.
    expect(view.getByDisplayValue('Alaska'), isInTheDocument);
  });
}

NOTE: render() supports React vDom elements / custom components created using either the react or over_react packages.

The examples shown here use the react package since the react_testing_library does not have a direct dependency on over_react - but both libraries are fully supported.

Options

value

This argument can be set to a String, RegExp, or a Function which returns true for a match and false for a mismatch.

See the JS TextMatch docs for more details and examples.

exact

Defaults to true; matches full strings, case-sensitive. When false, matches substrings and is not case-sensitive. It has no effect on regex or function arguments. In most cases using a regex instead of a string gives you more control over fuzzy matching and should be preferred over exact: false.

normalizer

An optional function which overrides normalization behavior.

Before running any matching logic against text in the DOM, DOM Testing Library automatically normalizes that text. By default, normalization consists of trimming whitespace from the start and end of text, and collapsing multiple adjacent whitespace characters into a single space.

If you want to prevent that normalization, or provide alternative normalization (e.g. to remove Unicode control characters), you can provide a normalizer function. This function will be given a string and is expected to return a normalized version of that string.

NOTE: Specifying a value for normalizer replaces the built-in normalization, but you can call getDefaultNormalizer to obtain a built-in normalizer, either to adjust that normalization or to call it from your own normalizer.

See the JS TextMatch precision and JS TextMatch normalization docs for more details and examples.

Implementation

List<E> getAllByDisplayValue<E extends Element>(
  Node container,
  /*TextMatch*/ dynamic value, {
  bool exact = true,
  NormalizerFn Function([NormalizerOptions?])? normalizer,
}) =>
    within(container).getAllByDisplayValue<E>(value, exact: exact, normalizer: normalizer);
