type(selector, text[, options])

Warning
Use locator-based locator.type() instead.

Type the text in the first element found that matches the selector.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
selector	string	`''`	A selector to search for an element. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.
text	string	`''`	A text to type into a focused element.
options	object	`null`
options.delay	number	`0`	Milliseconds to wait between key presses. Defaults to `0`.
options.noWaitAfter	boolean	`false`	If set to `true` and a navigation occurs from performing this action, it will not wait for it to complete.
options.strict	boolean	`false`	When `true`, the call requires selector to resolve to a single element. If given selector resolves to more than one element, the call throws an exception.
options.timeout	number	`30000`	Maximum time in milliseconds. Pass `0` to disable the timeout. Default is overridden by the `setDefaultTimeout` option on BrowserContext or Page.

Example

import { browser } from 'k6/experimental/browser';

export const options = {
  scenarios: {
    browser: {
      executor: 'shared-iterations',
      options: {
        browser: {
          type: 'chromium',
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

export default async function () {
  const page = browser.newPage();

  await page.goto('https://test.k6.io/browser.php');
  page.type('#text1', 'hello world!');
}
