Nightwatch + Cucumber How to describe a generic step

Question

I'm writing some e2e tests using nightwatch and cucumber. I'd like to have a generics steps. Now, my step definition is like this:

 When (/^I click on 'Leave a comment'$/, () => {
    return client
    .click('a[id="leave-comment"]')
  });

I'd like some like:

When (/^I click on  "(.*?)"$/, (text) => {
 ...
});

But I can't implement this step using .click. Any idea?

This solution that I found. I needed to define the type of the element and I used xPath

When (/^I click on  "(.*?)"$/, (text) => {
 return client
    .useXpath()
    .waitForElementVisible('//button[text()="'+text+'"]', 7000)
    .click('//button[text()="'+text+'"]')
    .useCss()
    .pause(1000);
});
