Next-gen browser and mobile automation test framework for Node.js

/**
 * The `$` command is a short and handy way in order to fetch a single element on the page.
 *
 * :::info
 *
 * As opposed to the [`$`](/docs/api/browser/$) attached to the [browser object](/docs/api/browser)
 * this command queries an element based on a root element.
 *
 * :::
 *
 * You can also pass in an object as selector where the object contains a property `element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf`
 * with the value of a reference to an element. The command will then transform the reference to an extended WebdriverIO element.
 *
 * Note: chaining `$` and `$$` commands only make sense when you use multiple selector strategies. You will otherwise
 * make unnecessary requests that slow down the test (e.g. `$('body').$('div')` will trigger two request whereas
 * `$('body div')` does literally the same with just one request)
 *
 * You can chain `$` or `$$` together without wrapping individual commands into `await` in order
 * to walk down the DOM tree, e.g.:
 *
 * ```js
 * const imageSrc = await $$('div')[1].nextElement().$$('img')[2].getAttribute('src')
 * ```
 *
 * WebdriverIO seamlessly traverses shadow roots when using the `$` or `$$` commands, regardless of the nesting level or
 * shadow root mode, for example:
 *
 * ```js
 * await browser.url('https://ionicframework.com/docs/usage/v8/datetime/basic/demo.html?ionic:mode=md')
 * await browser.$('button[aria-label="Sunday, August 4"]').click()
*  await browser.$('.aux-input').getValue()
* ```
 *
 * :::info
 *
 * For more information on how to select specific elements, check out the [Selectors](/docs/selectors) guide.

    :$.js
    it('should use Androids DataMatcher or ViewMatcher selector', async () => {
        const menuItem = await $({
            "name": "hasEntry",
            "args": ["title", "ViewTitle"],
            "class": "androidx.test.espresso.matcher.ViewMatchers"
        });
        await menuItem.click();

        const menuItem = await $({
            "name": "hasEntry",
            "args": ["title", "ViewTitle"]
        });
        await menuItem.click();
    });

 * @alias $
