What we do if we have more parameters to pass?

Question

Explanations :

public void login(String userid,String pass)
    {
        driver.findElement(email).sendKeys(userid);
        driver.findElement(password).sendKeys(pass);
        driver.findElement(loginbutton).click();    
    }

If I want to add new user there are more than 2 almost 17 to 18 parameters l so it displays odd to add all in () bracket.

public void AddUser(String UserFName,String UserLName, UserPhone .. etc)
        {
            driver.findElement(Userfname).sendKeys(ufn);
            driver.findElement(UserLname).sendKeys(Uln);
            driver.findElement(phone).sendkeys(phone); .....    
        }

Please give suggestions .. I am stuck at this point .. if any want then I will explain in details. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Why don't you encapsulate all these variables into a User object, and then just pass around User objects as parameters instead?

It seems kind of strange using Java if you're not going to create objects!

Answer 2

Following dahui answer, an example could be:

User user = new User();

user.setUserFName(userfname);
user.setUserLName(userlname);
user.setPhone(phone);
...

Then in your method:

public void AddUser(User user)
    {
      //Change your code here
      driver.findElement(user).sendKeys(us);
    }

Answer 3

First create an User Object , write setter and getter method for them and then populate the object as and when you want it and pass the user objects to AddUser method

public class User {

private String userFName = null ;
private String userLName = null;
:
:

public String getUserFName()
{
return userFname;

}

public void setUserFname(String name)
{
this.userFName = name;
}

// Do this for all attributes 

}

then in AddUser method

public void AddUser(User usr)
        {
            driver.findElement(Userfname).sendKeys(usr.getUserFName);
            driver.findElement(UserLname).sendKeys(usr.getUln);
            driver.findElement(phone).sendkeys(usr.getphone); 
            .....    
        }

learn about Page Factory pattern also , its very simple but very elegant and effective , you will need it if you are planning to work in java and selenium
