Querying Within Elements

within (an alias to getQueriesForElement) takes a DOM element and binds it to the raw query functions, allowing them to be used without specifying a container. It is the recommended approach for libraries built on this API and is used under the hood in React Testing Library and Vue Testing Library.

Example: To get the text 'hello' only within a section called 'messages', you could do:

• Native
• React
• Cypress

import { within } from '@testing-library/dom'

const messages = document.getElementById('messages')

const helloMessage = within(messages).getByText('hello')
