Generating id's for React components for Selenium tests

I'd like to generate id's for almost every element in my website, to have an easier time handling elements for Selenium tests. Is this a good approach? My application changes quite a bit.

I can't seem to add the id HTML attribute to the React component, because React interprets it as props e.g.

<NewEl id='test'/>

... and NewEl gets id props instead of attribute. Sometimes I can't access the React component because I use third party components.

How should I change that id attribute? Is my approach a good solution?

How can this be related to `Selenium` ? Am I missing something? – undetected Selenium Dec 28 '17 at 08:22
