Class: CheckboxDriver

Defined in: packages/component-driver-angular-material-v21/src/components/CheckboxDriver.ts:39

Driver for the Angular Material checkbox (MatCheckbox).

Locate it by the <mat-checkbox> host element (e.g. a data-testid placed there); the driver reaches the native <input type="checkbox"> inside it, which is where Material keeps the widget's state.

Constructors

Constructor

new CheckboxDriver(locator, interactor, option?): CheckboxDriver

Defined in: packages/component-driver-angular-material-v21/src/components/CheckboxDriver.ts:43

Parameters

locator

PartLocator

interactor

Interactor

option?

Partial<IComponentDriverOption<{ }>>

Returns

CheckboxDriver

Overrides

ComponentDriver<typeof checkboxParts>.constructor

Accessors

driverName

Get Signature

get driverName(): string

Defined in: packages/component-driver-angular-material-v21/src/components/CheckboxDriver.ts:112

Returns

string

Overrides

ComponentDriver.driverName

Methods

getLabel()

getLabel(): Promise<Optional<string>>

Defined in: packages/component-driver-angular-material-v21/src/components/CheckboxDriver.ts:108

The text of the checkbox's label, or undefined when the checkbox has no label content. Material associates the label with the native input via <label for>↔id, so the driver resolves that link rather than assuming a DOM shape.

Returns

Promise<Optional<string>>

---

getValue()

getValue(): Promise<string | null>

Defined in: packages/component-driver-angular-material-v21/src/components/CheckboxDriver.ts:77

The checkbox's value attribute (Material forwards its value input to the native control), or null when none is set.

Returns

Promise<string | null>

Implementation of

IFormFieldDriver.getValue

---

isDisabled()

isDisabled(): Promise<boolean>

Defined in: packages/component-driver-angular-material-v21/src/components/CheckboxDriver.ts:87

Whether the checkbox is disabled. A plain disabled checkbox carries the native disabled attribute; with disabledInteractive the input stays focusable and signals its state via aria-disabled="true" instead. Treat either as disabled.

Returns

Promise<boolean>

Implementation of

IDisableableDriver.isDisabled

---

isIndeterminate()

isIndeterminate(): Promise<boolean>

Defined in: packages/component-driver-angular-material-v21/src/components/CheckboxDriver.ts:69

Whether the checkbox is in the indeterminate ("mixed") state. Material signals it via aria-checked="mixed" on the native input — the attribute is only present while indeterminate.

Returns

Promise<boolean>

---

isRequired()

isRequired(): Promise<boolean>

Defined in: packages/component-driver-angular-material-v21/src/components/CheckboxDriver.ts:98

Whether the checkbox is required (Material reflects its required input onto the native control).

Returns

Promise<boolean>

Implementation of

IRequirableDriver.isRequired

---

isSelected()

isSelected(): Promise<boolean>

Defined in: packages/component-driver-angular-material-v21/src/components/CheckboxDriver.ts:50

Returns

Promise<boolean>

Implementation of

IToggleDriver.isSelected

---

setSelected()

setSelected(selected): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/component-driver-angular-material-v21/src/components/CheckboxDriver.ts:54

Parameters

selected

boolean

Returns

Promise<void>

Implementation of

IToggleDriver.setSelected

Properties

commutableOption

readonly commutableOption: CommutableComponentDriverOption

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1182

The component-agnostic slice of the constructor option that is safe to share across the whole driver tree — everything the constructor received EXCEPT the component-specific parts, which each driver owns for itself. Parent drivers pass this straight to the constructors of children they create dynamically (see the list helpers). See CommutableComponentDriverOption.

isVisible()

isVisible(): Promise<boolean>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1336

Whether the component is visible. Visibility is defined that the component does not have the CSS property display: none, visibility: hidden, or opacity: 0. However this does not check whether the component is within the viewport.

Returns

Promise<boolean>

true if the component is visible, false otherwise

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.isVisible

---

pressKey()

pressKey(key, option?): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1268

Dispatch a keyboard key press on the component. See Interactor.pressKey.

---

scrollIntoView()

scrollIntoView(): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1289

Scroll the component into the viewport. See Interactor.scrollIntoView.

jsdom has no layout engine, so the scroll is a no-op there and behavioral assertions (visibility, offset) are E2E-only.

Returns

Promise<void>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.scrollIntoView

---

typeText()

typeText(text): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1274

Parameters

text

string

The literal text to type, one keystroke per character

Returns

Promise<void>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.typeText

---

waitUntil()

waitUntil<T>(option): Promise<T>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1356

Type Parameters

T

T

Parameters

option

WaitUntilOption<T>

Returns

Promise<T>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.waitUntil

---

waitUntilComponentState()

waitUntilComponentState(option?): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1355

Wait until the component is in the expected state such as the component's visibility or existence. If the component has not reached the expected state within the timeout, it will throw an error.

By default it waits until the component is attached to the DOM within 30 seconds.

Parameters

option?

Partial<Readonly<WaitForOption>>

The option to configure the wait behavior

Returns

Promise<void>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.waitUntilComponentState

---

waitUntilVisible()

waitUntilVisible(timeoutMs?): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1343

Wait until the component is attached and becomes visible to the DOM.

Parameters

timeoutMs?

number

The number of milliseconds to wait before timing out. Defaults to defaultWaitForOption.timeoutMs so this wait shares a single flake-tolerance source with waitUntilComponentState (#1057).

Returns

Promise<void>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.waitUntilVisible

---

overriddenParentLocator()

static overriddenParentLocator(): Optional<PartLocator>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1211

Portal hook: where to re-root this driver's locator when its component renders outside the parent's DOM (a modal, popup, drawer). Return the PartLocator that locates the component from the document root, or undefined (the default) for normal in-tree components whose locator chains from the parent.

This is static because it is per-class metadata read off the constructor before any instance exists — which makes the "no instance state" constraint structural rather than a documented caution. Override with static override.

Returns

Optional<PartLocator>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.overriddenParentLocator

---

overrideLocatorRelativePosition()

static overrideLocatorRelativePosition(): Optional<LocatorRelativePosition>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1221

Portal hook: the locator relative position to apply when the component's real DOM is a sibling/elsewhere rather than a descendant (e.g. a MUI dialog rendered at the document root, located by a "Same"-level selector). Return undefined (the default) to keep the natural position declared by the ScenePart.

Static for the same reason as ComponentDriver.overriddenParentLocator: it is class-level metadata read before construction. Override with static override.

Returns

Optional<LocatorRelativePosition>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.overrideLocatorRelativePosition

Protected members (16)

Methods

activate()

protected activate(): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1282

Activate the component without relying on pointer geometry. See Interactor.activate.

Returns

Promise<void>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.activate

---

contextMenu()

protected contextMenu(): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1278

Dispatch a right-click / contextmenu event on the component. See Interactor.contextMenu.

Returns

Promise<void>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.contextMenu

---

drag()

protected drag(delta): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1320

Drag this component by the given pixel delta from its center. See Interactor.drag.

Prefer a keyboard-driven setValue over a true drag in real drivers — these drag primitives exist only for cases keyboard cannot express (e.g. panning a Lightbox, reordering a column). jsdom has no layout engine, so the positional outcome of the drag is E2E-only there.

Parameters

delta

Point

Pixel offset to drag by

Returns

Promise<void>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.drag

---

dragTo()

protected dragTo(target): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1309

Drag this component and drop it onto another component. See Interactor.dragTo.

Prefer a keyboard-driven setValue over a true drag in real drivers — these drag primitives exist only for cases keyboard cannot express (e.g. panning a Lightbox, reordering a column). jsdom has no layout engine, so the positional outcome of the drag is E2E-only there.

Parameters

target

ComponentDriver<any>

Another driver whose root element is the drop target

Returns

Promise<void>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.dragTo

---

enforcePartExistence()

protected enforcePartExistence(partName): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1235

Check the specified parts' existences, and throw MissingPartError if any of the part is found not existence. Existence is defined by the part's existence in the DOM regardless of its visibility on the screen

Parameters

partName

"input" | readonly "input"[]

Single or array of the names of the parts to be enforced

Returns

Promise<void>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.enforcePartExistence

---

getBoundingRect()

protected getBoundingRect(): Promise<BoundingRect>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1327

Get this component's bounding rectangle. See Interactor.getBoundingRect.

jsdom has no layout engine, so every coordinate and dimension is 0 there; real geometry is E2E-only.

Returns

Promise<BoundingRect>

Inherited from

ComponentDriver.getBoundingRect

---

getMissingPartNames()

protected getMissingPartNames(partName): Promise<readonly "input"[]>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1241
