How to convert selenium python script in to Selenium Javascript

Question

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='notranslate public-DraftEditor-content' and @role='textbox']"))).send_keys("This is auto message example.")

Hello, I would like to ask if this can be converted into javascript because I have the whole bot already typed in javascript and only this needs to be converted from selenium python to javascript. Is it possible or do I have to write the whole javascript into selenium?

To convert the line of code from python to javascript notation, you can use the setAttribute() method and you can use either of the following solutions:

• Using setAttribute() and innerHTML:

  element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='notranslate public-DraftEditor-content' and @role='textbox']")))
  driver.execute_script("arguments[0].setAttribute('innerHTML','This is auto message example.')", element)
  

• Using setAttribute() and textContext:

  element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='notranslate public-DraftEditor-content' and @role='textbox']")))
  driver.execute_script("arguments[0].setAttribute('textContext','This is auto message example.')", element)
