Webdriver.io: Is there a way to click text?

In Webdriver.io, is there a way to click (an element by its) text?

e.g. a person has clicked and opened a drop-down menu and now wishes to click and select the desired element by its text.

You can use this //*[text()='match']

You can pick any element with a text using xpath selectors. So you go like this:

browser.$('//*[text()="text you are looking for"]').click()

The "//" stands for any part of the HTML document object model (https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom.asp)

* represents any HTML tag. If there is a <div> you can use a //div, if there is <p> you can use //p.

If you want to use just a part of the text you can use contains like this:

browser.$('//*[contains(text(), "part of text"]').click()

You can find about more about selectors in webdriver.io here: https://webdriver.io/docs/api/browser/$.html
