PageObject model for a dynamic id? c#

Wondering if it is possible to page object an id that will be dynamic?

Example code below:

    int index = 0;
    foreach (var row in rows)
    {

        if (randNumber == row.FindElement(By.Id($"r-number-{index}")).Text)
        {
            row.FindElement(By.Id($"view-record-{index}")).Click();
            return;
        }
        index++;
    }

By.Id($"r-number-{index}")).Text is used in multiple places and in multiple specflow steps so would be great to be able to turn it into a page object.

RandPage.RandNumber+index+ in simple terms what I would ideally need.

Anyone knows of any possible ways?

You could try something like this.

private IList<IWebElement> ListOfElements => Driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//p[contains(@id,'r-number-')]"));
//this finds all the p elements on the page with an id that contains r-number-

    public void ClickEachOne()
    {
        // click each element in that list

        foreach (var element in ListOfElements)
        {
            element.Click();
        }
    }

I would suggest to add parameter in the PageObject constructor which will be the index.

And then you can create the page for that index and use it.

E.g:

public class MyPage
    {
            private int _index = 0;
            ...

            public MyPage(int index)
            {
               _index = index;
            }
            ...
            public MyMethod()
            {
                //do something with the _index here
            }
    }
