initElements

public static <T> T initElements(org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver driver,
                 Class<T> clazz)

Instantiates an instance of the given class, and set a lazy proxy for each of its element fields (WebElement, List<WebElement> or any type annotated with Field, Container or Frame).
It assumes the element field name as the HTML element's "id" or "name". To change how the element is located, use the FindBy annotation.
This method will attempt to instantiate the class given to it, using preferably a constructor that takes a WebDriver instance as its only argument or falling back on a no-arg constructor. An exception will be thrown if the class cannot be instantiated.
In case the no-arg constructor is used, the page itself is proxied to wrap the WebDriver, which can be unwrapped using the WiseUnrwapper.

Type Parameters:

T - The class type that will be initialized.

Parameters:

driver - The driver that will be used to look up the elements of the object.

clazz - The class to be initialized.

Returns:

An instance of the class with its element fields proxied.
