Expand an array into multiple arguments.

Identical to .then(), but always expects an array-like structure as its subject.

Syntax

.spread(callbackFn)
.spread(options, callbackFn)

Usage

Correct Usage

cy.getCookies().spread(() => {}) // Yield all cookies

Incorrect Usage

cy.spread(() => {}) // Errors, cannot be chained off 'cy'
cy.location().spread()   // Errors, 'location' does not yield an array

Arguments

fn (Function)

Pass a function that expands the array into its arguments.

options (Object)

Pass in an options object to change the default behavior of .spread().

Option	Default	Description
`timeout`	`defaultCommandTimeout`	Time to wait for `.spread()` to resolve before timing out

Yields

.spread() yields the return value of your callback function.
.spread() will not change the subject if null or undefined is returned.

Examples

Aliased Routes

Expand the array of aliased routes

cy.server()
cy.route('/users/').as('getUsers')
cy.route('/activities/').as('getActivities')
cy.route('/comments/').as('getComments')
cy.wait(['@getUsers', '@getActivities', '@getComments'])
  .spread((getUsers, getActivities, getComments) => {
    // each XHR is now an individual argument
  })

Cookies

Expand the array of cookies

cy.getCookies().spread((cookie1, cookie2, cookie3) => {
  // each cookie is now an individual argument
})
