Sample Page Object Model for Watir-WebDriver

This is the sample code for creating the page objects in separate file.

page_object_sample.rb

def config
  #common Settings
  @browser="ie"
end

def google_homepage
  #Web Application URL details
  @url="http://google.com"
  #Google Homepage Page Object Models
  @search_field=$browser.text_field(:name,'q')
  @search_button=$browser.button(:name => 'btnG')
end

def bing_homepage
  @url = "http://bing.com"
  @search_field=$browser.text_field(:id,'sb_form_q')
  @search_button=$browser.button(:name => 'go')
end

———————————————————————————————————

Code.rb

require 'watir-webdriver'
require 'd:\\page_object_sample.rb'

config
  $browser = Watir::Browser.new @browser.to_sym
google_homepage
  $browser.goto @url
  @search_field.set("Raveendran - Watir Webdriver")
  @search_button.click
  puts $browser.title

bing_homepage
  $browser.goto @url
  @search_field.set("Raveendran - Watir Webdriver")
  @search_button.click
  puts $browser.title

  $browser.close

NOTE:

a. We can create the page object model with,
     1. IE Developer tool bar for IE browser
     2. Firebug for Firefox browser.
b.  This is the sample and basic page object model code. 
We can customize/develop depends up on our requirement.

c. If the page object will change in future then No need
 to worry about the actual script. Just updating the page
 object model will fix those kind of issues.
