Using Aem Author Helper

Using Aem Author Helper

AemAuthorHelper is a utility class which provides methods to easily obtain parsys, component's scope or a component dialog. Let's obtain a dialog for given component on the n-th level using this BDD example:

  @Inject
  private AemClassicAuthorHelper authorHelper;
//..
  @And("^I configure the \"([^\"]*)\" component index \"([^\"]*)\" using my component configuration data$")
  public void iConfigureTheComponentIndexXUsingMyComponentConfigurationData(String componentName,
      Integer x) {
    aemDialog = authorHelper.getDialog(scenarioContext.getString(PARSYS_NAME_KEY),
        DemoComponents.fromString(componentName), x);
    aemDialog.open();
    //..
  }

For more information about ScenarioContext you should refer to the Scenario Context tutorial.

Example DemoComponents implementation:

public enum DemoComponents implements Components {

  SECTION_HEADER_COMPONENT(SectionHeaderComponent.class)
  //..

  private Class<?> clazz;

  DemoComponents(Class<?> clazz) {
    this.clazz = clazz;
  }

  public static DemoComponents fromString(String componentName) {
    String normalized = componentName.replace(" ", "_").toUpperCase();
    return DemoComponents.valueOf(normalized);
  }

  @Override
  public Class<?> getComponentClass() {
    return clazz;
  }
}

Appropriate Gherkin scenario:

 Scenario: As an author I can show title of Section Header Component
    Given I have opened Feedback page
    And parsys I'm working with is named "par"
    And my component configuration data is:
      | tab            | type       | label        | value       |
      | Section header | text field | Header Text  | text        |
      | Section header | dropdown   | Header size  | Medium (h3) |
    And I configure the "Section Header Component" component index "2" using my component configuration data
    Then Text Field Component with index "2" Title field is visible
