user.clear

Clicks a text input, selects its text and deletes it.

await user.clear(input: NodeTarget): Promise<void>;

Clicks the text input, selects all of its text and presses Backspace: the input fires its input events as it empties.

await user.clear(screen.getByRole('textinput', { name: 'Preset name' }));
await user.type(
  screen.getByRole('textinput', { name: 'Preset name' }),
  'Bright',
);

Good to know

Only a TextInput: clearing another node throws.
A controlled input (value and onChangeText) gets onChangeText(''), as it would from a user.

user.type

Clicks a text input and types text into it, character by character.

user.keyboard

Presses keys: characters, named keys, held modifiers, physical keys.
