Summary
We had a use case where we wanted to clear text in an input without blurring, to more realistically simulate the behaviour of a real user replacing the text of an input.
We needed this because we have some
onBlurbehaviour that would restore a default value, which made replacing the text problematic with the currentclear()andtype()APIs.This can be solved in user-land with a bunch of manual
{Backspace}, but I felt like it probably deserved a first-class API.This PR adds:
clearBeforeas an option touserEvent.type()to allow clearing existing text before entering new text.skipBluras an option touserEvent.clear()to allow clearing text without blurringTest plan
Added unit tests for both new options.
