## What it is
A Cypress plugin that adds custom commands exposing DOM Testing Library query methods (getByLabelText, getByText, etc.) inside Cypress end-to-end tests. It encourages accessible, implementation-detail-free selectors in browser tests.

## Use cases
- use testing-library queries in cypress tests
- find elements by accessible label in e2e tests
- write cypress tests without brittle css selectors
- add getByRole and getByText commands to cypress
- share dom testing library selectors between unit and e2e tests

## When to choose
- you already use Cypress and want Testing Library-style queries
- you want tests that select elements the way users do (labels, roles, text)

## When to avoid
- you use Playwright or another e2e runner instead of Cypress
- you only need unit-level DOM testing without a browser runner

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: testing, e2e-testing
- domain: testing, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: cypress, dom-testing-library, e2e, custom-commands, query-helpers, nodejs, javascript
