How .elements() works in nightwatch?

Question

Considering I have multiple trs I want to pick one and edit value in it by clicking edit button bounded to it.

I'm doing something like this:

browser.elements('css selector', '#someId  tr', elements => {
  elements.value.forEach(val => {
    console.log(val)
  }

And I get something like this:

{
  'abcd-1234-qwer-0987': 'some id'
},
{
  'abcd-1234-qwer-0987': 'some other id'
}

1. What is exactly 'abcd-1234-qwer-0987', is this session id kind of stuff and does it change?
2. What is the best way to grab particular element? Because as I guess my approach is wrong: elements.value[1]['abcd-1234-qwer-0987']

Answer 1

Its return the elements items are Web Element json objects. that a Web Element ID

Using Nightwatch, how do you get the DOM element, and it's attributes from the ELEMENT entity?

browser.elements('css selector', '#someId  tr', elements => {
 console.log(elements);
elements.value.forEach(element =>{
let key = Object.keys(element)[0];
let ElementIDvalue = element[key];
console.log("key = ",  key);
console.log("WebElementIDvalue = ", ElementIDvalue);
})
});
