LoginPage is a class representing Page Object Model for the login page. As of now, it contains one method allowing to perform successful authentication.
Instead of repeating the same playwright calls to fetch the locators we use the Page Object Model pattern for the login page. I am still not sure if this is the correct approach. LoginPage class nicely encapsulates all playwright calls but there is quite a lot of boilerplate code.
Instead of repeating the same Playwright calls to fetch the locators we use the Page Object Model pattern for all currently used pages. I experimented with two approaches. The first approach was to reflect all possible actions with dedicated functions in page object. This ended up being a lot of boilerplate code. The second approach was to create the most popular selectors and save them as page object fields. Those locators that are used only one time, usually specific to the given test, are not included in the page object but created manually. This approach feels to be better for the current state of the project as it allows to avoid re-creating the same locators over and over again and at the same time we are not introducing too much boilerplate code.
