testIdstring

Adds a data-test-id attribute. Use it to target the component in unit and E2E tests.

For a test id to be valid, prefix it with your nerdpack id, followed up by a dot.

For example, my-nerdpack.some-element.

Note: You might not see data-test-id attributes as they are removed from the DOM, to debug them pass a e2e-test query parameter to the URL.

Tooltips should answer a question for the user. Tips should be crisp, clear, and helpful. Provide just enough information to answer questions without overloading the user.

  • Keep the copy easy to read and clear. For longer copy, use complete sentences, active verbs, and punctuation.
  • Give enough information to avoid misunderstandings. For example, if a button looks like it could add multiple things, use the tooltip to clarify what it actually adds.
