How can an element be grabbed with codeception?

Let's say we have the following HTML code:

<div>
  <p id="fruit">Apple</p>
</div>

How do I grab #fruit and check its inner HTML via codeception?

Solution

It seems, that Codeception utilizes either executeJS or executeInSelenium(not recommended) in these kind of situations.

Here is an example using executeJS with JQuery:

<?php
  $fruitVal = $I->executeJS('return $(#fruit).val()');
?>

Turns out, that there is another, "more natural" way to handle this case:

Here is an example using grabAttributeFrom method:

<?php
  $fruitVal = $I->grabAttributeFrom('#fruit', 'innerHTML');
?>
