Entering data into a website is simple with SpecBind. The following step is used to define data to be entered:

Verb	Action
Given	I entered data <data table>
When, Then	I enter data <data table>

The <data table> argument is a table that defines two columns Field and Value. The Field column defines the field name to locate as a [[property

Page Model Properties]] and the Value column is the value to enter. It is converted to the correct value by the framework, and will throw an error if the value cannot be converted. The fields are set in the order defined by in the table.

As with other property locators, SpecBind normalizes the name so that you can make the table more readable. For instance if your property name is “FirstName” you can enter the value “First Name” in the table and it will locate the correct property.

Example

When I enter data
     | Field    | Value       |
     | My Field | Hello World |

Special Characters

In some cases you may need to enter data that matches the format of a token ``. To do so, simply double the curly braces and the content will be treated as entered.
