Java - How can you call a variable inside a string using JavaScriptExecutor?

Question

Im using selenium webdriver(JAVA) on testing and I have a fire event method that should be reusable depending on the locator that is passed into it. My code is below :

public void fireEvent() {

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return document.getElementById('pin').blur()");

}

Is there a way for this specific code to accept any element ID on the 'pin', that can make it look like :

public void fireEvent(String locator) {

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return document.getElementById('{locator}').blur()");

}

Thanks in advance!

You might have a go

public void fireEvent(String elementId) {
     ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return document.getElementById('arguments[0]').blur()", elementId);
}

Instead of passing string elementId in, you might also try pass the element itself in, so that you don't need to worry about ById or ByClassName anymore.

public void fireEvent(WebElement element) {
     ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return arguments[0].blur()", element);
}

The javascript code that receives "executeScript" is a regular String, you can compose this String as usual, for example:

public void fireEvent(String locator) {
  String jsToExecute = String.format("return document.getElementById('%s').blur()", locator)
  ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(jsToExecute);
}
