Can I use the Page Object Model (POM) with these step definitions?

Absolutely. The recommended pattern is to extend Playwright's base test with POM fixtures and then inject those fixtures directly into your step functions.

What is the main advantage of using createBdd() in Playwright?

It provides type-safe step definitions that integrate directly with Playwright's native test runner and fixtures, allowing for better IDE support and error catching.

How do I share state between steps in Playwright BDD?

State is best shared using custom Playwright fixtures or by organizing your steps into classes using the decorator-based approach provided by the library.

Does this skill support Gherkin Data Tables?

Yes, it includes full support for simple tables, tables with headers (hashes), and vertical tables (rowsHash) using the DataTable utility.

Are custom regex parameter types supported?

Yes, you can define reusable parameter types using defineParameterType to transform Gherkin string matches into specific objects like Dates or Booleans.
