Selenium Actions Class

Introduction to Actions class

The Action class is used to perform Keyboard and Mouse actions in Selenium WebDriver. It is basically used to perform multiple actions in a sequence. The Actions class is used to perform complex user interactions like double-clicking, right-clicking, dragging, dropping, key up, key down etc.

Syntax to use Actions class

We will have to follow steps to use the Actions class in Selenium:

First, we have to find the element on which the action has to be performed using the findElement() method,
```
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("elementId"));
```
then create an object of the Actions class.
```
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
```
then sequence the actions using the actions object and finally call the perform() method to perform the actions.
```
actions.moveToElement(element).click().perform();
```

Method	Description
`click()`	Clicks on the element
`clickAndHold()`	Clicks on the element and holds the mouse button
`contextClick()`	Performs a right-click on the element
`doubleClick()`	Performs a double-click on the element
`dragAndDrop()`	Drags the source element and drops it on the target element
`keyDown()`	Performs a key down action on the keyboard
`keyUp()`	Performs a key up action on the keyboard
`moveByOffset()`	Moves the mouse from its current position by the given offset
