How to locate class using enums in base class

Question

Below is the code for every PageClass:

public void goToParticularTableSection(TableSectionDraggablePage tableSectionDraggablePage){

    switch (tableSectionDraggablePage) {

        case DefaultFunctionality:

            clickOnElement(defaultFunctionalityTableHeader);

            break;

        case ConstrainMovement:

            clickOnElement(constraintMovementTableHeader);

            break;

        ...

    }

    TestLogger.log.info(tableSectionDraggablePage + " clicked");

}

 

For every PageClass I have another class with enums:

public enum TableSectionDraggablePage {

    DefaultFunctionality,

    ConstrainMovement,

    ...

}

 

How to move goToParticularTableSection method into Base class and have the common use of this method in every PageClass what allows me avoid code duplication in every page class?

Answer 1

Define getters in PageClass like getDefaultFunctionality(), getConstrainMovement() etc. and then redesign the enum like this:

public enum TableSectionDraggablePage {

 DefaultFunctionality, 

 defaultFunctionalityTableHeader,

 ConstrainMovement,

 constraintMovementTableHeader,

 ...


 TableSectionDraggablePage(PageClass pageClass) {

   this.DefaultFunctionality = pageClass.getDefaultFunctionality();

   this.defaultFunctionalityTableHeader = pageClass.getDefaultFunctionalityTableHeader();

   ...

 }

}

Then move goToParticularTableSection(TableSectionDraggablePage) to BaseClass.

Then just call the method from PageClass like this:

super.goToParticularTableSection(new TableSectionDraggablePage(this));
