I have this code where i get 'ul[class="menu"] > li' get there text and convert it to arrays 'list'

    it('List to array', () => {
        const list = []
        cy.get('ul[class="menu"] > li').children()
            .each(($ele) => {
            list.push($ele.text().toString().trim())
          })
          .then(() => {
            cy.get('ul[class="menu"] > li').should('contain',list[0])
            cy.log(list[0])
          })

})

Now i want to add a loop until it finished my array in list that will assert (should) based on my last code because the length of list is constantly changing and i don't want a repeated code

How can i achieved this?

Take a look at docs for each(), Cypress passes in each element and also it's index.

Use the index to get the value from the list.

cy.get('ul.menu > li')     // same as 'ul[class="menu"] > li'
  .each(($el, index) => {
    expect($el.text()).to.eq(list[index])
  })
