How does selenium-webdriver.By work?

selenium-webdriver.By is a class that represents a mechanism to locate a web element within the DOM structure of a web page using different strategies such as id, name, class name, CSS selector, xpath, etc. When creating a By instance, you pass a locator strategy as the first argument and a value as the second argument. The By instance can then be used with a WebDriver instance to find elements on a web page that match the specified locator. For example, By.id("myId") creates a By instance that can be used to find an element with the id attribute set to "myId".

const By = webdriver.By;
getBrowsers.then(browsers => {

const { Builder, By } = require("selenium-webdriver");

(async function example() {
  const driver = await new Builder().forBrowser("chrome").build();

  try {
    await driver.get("https://www.example.com");
    const element = await driver.findElement(By.className("example-class"));
    await element.click();
  } finally {
    await driver.quit();
  }
})();

In this example, the By.className method is used to locate an element with the class name 'example-class'. Once the element is located, its click() method is called to simulate a click action.
