Method to clear pre-filled data of a ST.future.Component

Question

Is there a way to clear an input field while using the ST.component("locator"); API?

Using ST.component("locator").setValue(""); results in the following error:

TypeError: ST.component(...).setValue is not a function...

If it's an Ext JS field you will need to use the ST.field API in Sencha Test, which has a setValue method. This method isn't available on the more generic ST.component API.

ST.field('myfield')
    .setValue('');

Or if it's a normal input field (not an Ext JS component), then you can do the following:

ST.element('@myfield')
    .execute(function(field) {
        field.dom.value = '';
    });
