Cypress click element by ID / XPATH / Name?

Question

I want to click on an element by XPATH / ID and not the default cypress locator, is it possible?

In selenium I can use find element by XPATH for example:

Answer 1

The first question contains two different selectors, the first (selenium) look for an id category and the second for a class category.

In fact :

d.findElement(By.id("category")).click();
==
cy.get('#category').click()

So yes you could select an element by it's ID !

If (and i don't think) you want to have others possibility for selecting your elments look for jquery selector (jquery is exposed in cypress)
