This is the PHP port of Hamcrest Matchers
, (*1)
Hamcrest is a matching library originally written for Java, but
subsequently ported to many other languages. hamcrest-php is the
official PHP port of Hamcrest and essentially follows a literal
translation of the original Java API for Hamcrest, with a few
Exceptions, mostly down to PHP language barriers:, (*2)
-
instanceOf($theClass)
is actually anInstanceOf($theClass)
, (*3)
-
both(containsString('a'))->and(containsString('b'))
is actually both(containsString('a'))->andAlso(containsString('b'))
, (*4)
-
either(containsString('a'))->or(containsString('b'))
is actually either(containsString('a'))->orElse(containsString('b'))
, (*5)
-
Unless it would be non-semantic for a matcher to do so, hamcrest-php
allows dynamic typing for it's input, in "the PHP way". Exception are
where semantics surrounding the type itself would suggest otherwise,
such as stringContains() and greaterThan()., (*6)
-
Several official matchers have not been ported because they don't
make sense or don't apply in PHP:, (*7)
typeCompatibleWith($theClass)
eventFrom($source)
-
hasProperty($name)
**
-
samePropertyValuesAs($obj)
**
-
When most of the collections matchers are finally ported, PHP-specific
aliases will probably be created due to a difference in naming
conventions between Java's Arrays, Collections, Sets and Maps compared
with PHP's Arrays., (*8)
** [Unless we consider POPO's (Plain Old PHP Objects) akin to JavaBeans]
- The POPO thing is a joke. Java devs coin the term POJO's (Plain Old
Java Objects)., (*9)
Usage
Hamcrest matchers are easy to use as:, (*10)
Hamcrest_MatcherAssert::assertThat('a', Hamcrest_Matchers::equalToIgnoringCase('A'));
Alternatively, you can use the global proxy-functions:, (*11)
$result = true;
// with an identifier
assertThat("result should be true", $result, equalTo(true));
// without an identifier
assertThat($result, equalTo(true));
// evaluate a boolean expression
assertThat($result === true);
// with syntactic sugar is()
assertThat(true, is(true));
:warning: NOTE: the global proxy-functions aren't autoloaded by default, so you will need to load them first:, (*12)
\Hamcrest\Util::registerGlobalFunctions();
For brevity, all of the examples below use the proxy-functions., (*13)
Documentation
A tutorial can be found on the Hamcrest site., (*14)

`
Core
-
allOf
- Evaluates to true only if ALL of the passed in matchers evaluate to true.
assertThat([2,4,6], allOf(hasValue(2), arrayWithSize(3)));
-
anyOf
- Evaluates to true if ANY of the passed in matchers evaluate to true.
assertThat([2, 4, 6], anyOf(hasValue(8), hasValue(2)));
-
noneOf
- Evaluates to false if ANY of the passed in matchers evaluate to true.
assertThat([2, 4, 6], noneOf(hasValue(1), hasValue(3)));
-
both
+ andAlso
- This is useful for fluently combining matchers that must both pass.
assertThat([2, 4, 6], both(hasValue(2))->andAlso(hasValue(4)));
-
either
+ orElse
- This is useful for fluently combining matchers where either may pass,
assertThat([2, 4, 6], either(hasValue(2))->orElse(hasValue(4)));
-
describedAs
- Wraps an existing matcher and overrides the description when it fails.
$expected = "Dog";
$found = null;
// this assertion would result error message as Expected: is not null but: was null
//assertThat("Expected {$expected}, got {$found}", $found, is(notNullValue()));
// and this assertion would result error message as Expected: Dog but: was null
//assertThat($found, describedAs($expected, notNullValue()));
