Playwright Example >> TextBox

Table of Contents

In this article, we will use Playwright (Python version) to fill textbox in the web form. And get the text value of text box.

Fill the Textbox

We will use DemoQA.com to test our code.
There are four Textbox elements on the page as shown below.

From the source code of web page, we can know the element id of the four Textbox elements.

• userName
• userEmail
• currentAddress
• permanentAddress

Fill single line Textbox

We can use locator() method of page object to find the element and use fill() method to enter the content.

# Fill #userName
page.locator("#userName").fill("Your Name")

Fill multiline Textbox

For mutiple lines Textbox, we can use \n to concatenate multiline string.

# Fill #currentAddress
page.locator("#currentAddress").fill("Your current address\nYour current address 2\nYour current address 3")

This is the complete code as shown below.

from playwright.sync_api import Playwright, sync_playwright, expect

def run(playwright: Playwright) -> None:
    browser = playwright.chromium.launch(headless=False)
    context = browser.new_context()

    # Open new page
    page = context.new_page()

    # Go to https://demoqa.com/text-box
    page.goto("https://demoqa.com/text-box")

    # Fill #userName
    page.locator("#userName").fill("Your Name")

    # Fill #userEmail
    page.locator("#userEmail").fill("your.name@yourdomain.com")

    # Fill #currentAddress
    page.locator("#currentAddress").fill("Your current address\nYour current address 2\nYour current address 3")

    # Fill #permanentAddress
    page.locator("#permanentAddress").fill("Your permanent address 1\nYour permanent address 2\nYour permanent address 3")

    # ---------------------
    context.close()
    browser.close()


with sync_playwright() as playwright:
    run(playwright)

We execute the code above. The four Textbox elements will be filled as below.

Get the value of Textbox

We can get the input value of Textbox by using input_value() method of locator object.

print(page.locator("#userName").input_value())

print(page.locator("#currentAddress").input_value())

The execution result will be like this.

Conclusion

We can use Playwright to simply fill all the Textbox on the web page automatically. (locator(), fill())
We can also get the input value of the Textbox simply.(locator(), input_value())
