locator could be name, id, accessibility id ,xpath etc.. locators are assigned to object by developers during design.

####Below methods are automatically created by using the above command

####Example:

If I have a 'username' text field on the screen/page, I would define as below

text_field(:username,"xpath~//UITextField")  

Below methods are automatically created

username
username_text?
username=argument
clear_username
username_value  

Usage example in a screen object

class Login

text_field(:username,"xpath~//UITextField")

      # DSL to retrieve text of the attribute text for username text field.

          def get_username_text_field
              username # This will return text of attribute 'text' for username text field.
          end

      # DSL to check existence of username text_field

          def check_username_text_field
              username? # This will return true or false based on existence of username text field.
          end

    # DSL for entering text in username text field.

          def set_username_text_field(username)
                self.username=username   # This method will enter text into username text field.
