cypress coding dos and dont's

[aelbore]

Should i provide a component function to cypress or should i do it in cypress like query the element?

for example: counter component
should i create an increment or decrement function in the component or should i querySelect the button the invoke the click event?

in cypress

cy.get("counter-element").find("button['data-qa-test-btn-increment']").click()

or

cy.get("counter-element").increment()

which is prepared to do?

I'd kill that with cy.getByCyLike('btn-increment').

I like the function too. Creating a function just for testing, hard-core, but probably not necessary.
