protractor CSS Selectors $ and $$ CSS selector locator shortcuts
Example
The Protractor API allows CSS element locators to use the jQuery-like shortcut notation $().
Normal CSS Element Locator:
element(by.css('h1.documentation-text[ng-bind="title"]'));
element(by.css('[ng-click="submit"]));
Shortcut $() CSS Element Locator:
$('h1.documentation-text[ng-bind="title"]');
$('[ng-click="submit"]');
For finding multiple elements under a locator use the shortcut notation $$().
Normal CSS Element Locator:
element.all(by.css('h1.documentation-text[ng-bind="title"]'));
element.all(by.css('[ng-click="submit"]));
Shortcut $$() CSS Element Locator:
$$('h1.documentation-text[ng-bind="title"]');
$$('[ng-click="submit"]');
