Aliasing

.as()

To alias a route or DOM element for use later, use the .as() command.

// The following DOM command chain is unwieldy.
// To avoid repeating it, let's use `.as()`!
cy.get('.as-table')
  .find('tbody>tr').first()
  .find('td').first()
  .find('button').as('firstBtn')

// To reference the alias we created, we place an
// @ in front of its name
cy.get('@firstBtn').click()

cy.get('@firstBtn')
  .should('have.class', 'btn-success')
  .and('contain', 'Changed')

// Alias the route to wait for its response

cy.intercept('GET', '**/comments/*').as('getComment')

// we have code that gets a comment when
// the button is clicked in scripts.js
cy.get('.network-btn').click()

// https://on.cypress.io/wait
cy.wait('@getComment').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200)
