I Want To Create My Own Navigator

There could be several reasons why you might want to create your own navigator.

• You could be building a module that you want to distribute as a Magium package
• You could have a customization that needs to be tested
• There may be a part of Magium that has not yet been built up, and after cursing our existence for not having built it yet, you decide to build your own. (and then do a pull request, right?)

There is no dependency requirement for a navigator. It could technically just be a blank class.

class MyUselessNavigator {}

That would be pointless. Generally speaking a navigator will require at least the WebDriver object. Also, generally speaking, a navigator should have a method called navigateTo(). It may have parameters, it may not. It depends on the functionality. But this makes it predictable to some extent.

use Magium\WebDriver\WebDriver;

class MyUsefulNavigator
{

    protected $webDriver;

    public function __construct(WebDriver $webDriver)
    {
        $this->webDriver = $webDriver;
    }


    public function navigateTo()
    {
        $this->webDriver->byId('some_id')->click();
    }

}

Oftentimes a navigator will also require theme information. It is best that this is not hardcoded. Use an existing theme or create your own that can provide the information you are looking for.

use Magium\Magento\Themes\Magento19\ThemeConfiguration;
use Magium\WebDriver\WebDriver;

class MyTheme extends ThemeConfiguration
{

    public function getSomeId()
    {
        return 'some_id';
    }

}

class MyUsefulNavigator
{

    protected $webDriver;
    protected $theme;

    public function __construct(
        WebDriver $webDriver,
        MyTheme $theme)
    {
        $this->webDriver = $webDriver;
        $this->theme = $theme;
    }


    public function navigateTo()
    {
        $this->webDriver->byId($this->theme->getSomeId())->click();
    }

}
