## Codeception\Util\Locator
Set of useful functions for using CSS and XPath locators.
Please check them before writing complex functional or acceptance tests.
#### combine()
*public static* combine($selector1, $selector2)
Applies OR operator to any number of CSS or XPath selectors.
You can mix up CSS and XPath selectors here.
```php
<?php
use \Codeception\Util\Locator;
$I->see('Title', Locator::combine('h1','h2','h3'));
?>
```
This will search for `Title` text in either `h1`, `h2`, or `h3` tag.
You can also combine CSS selector with XPath locator:
```php
<?php
use \Codeception\Util\Locator;
$I->fillField(Locator::combine('form input[type=text]','//form/textarea[2]'), 'qwerty');
?>
```
As a result the Locator will produce a mixed XPath value that will be used in fillField action.
* `static`
* `param` $selector1
* `param` $selector2
* `throws` \Exception
* `return` string
[See source](https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/blob/2.4/src/Codeception/Util/Locator.php#L50)
#### contains()
*public static* contains($element, $text)

#### elementAt()
*public static* elementAt($element, $position)

Locator::elementAt('//table/tr', 2); // second row
Locator::elementAt('//table/tr', -1); // last row
Locator::elementAt('table#grind>tr', -2); // previous than last row
```
* `param string` $element CSS or XPath locator
