+/**
+  * This command tries to ensure that the elements in the DOM are actually visible
+  * and done (re)rendering. This is due to how React re-renders components.
+  *
+  * IMPORTANT NOTES:
+  *    => You should only use this command in instances where a test is failing due
+  *       to detached elements. Cypress will probably give you a warning along the lines
+  *       of, "Element has an effective width/height of 0". This warning is not very useful
+  *       in pointing out it is due to the element being detached from the DOM AFTER the
+  *       cy.get command had already retrieved it. This command can save you from that
+  *       by explicitly waiting for the DOM to stop changing.
+  *    => This command can take anywhere from 100ms to 5 seconds to complete
+  *    => This command will exit early (500ms) when no changes are occurring in the DOM.
+  *       We wait a minimum of 500ms because sometimes it can take up to around that time
+  *       for mutations to start occurring.
+  *

+  *    * https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/7306 (Open - re-get detached elements)
+  *
+  * @example Wait for the DOM to stop changing before retrieving an element
+  * cy.waitForDom().get('#an-elements-id')
