README

Symfony Kernel and dependency injection for Pest PHP.

This library provides a simple way to access the Symfony kernel, container, and services in your Pest tests, making it easier to write integration tests for Symfony applications.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Pest PHP 2.35+ or 3.0+
• Symfony 6.4+ or 7.x

Installation

composer require --dev bentools/pest-symfony-kernel

Usage

use Symfony\Component\Routing\RouterInterface;
use function BenTools\Pest\Symfony\inject;

it('injects my router! 🤯', function () {
    $router = inject(RouterInterface::class); // Fetch router from the service container
    expect($router)->toBeInstanceOf(RouterInterface::class); // ✨
});

How It Works

This library provides three main functions under the BenTools\Pest\Symfony namespace:

1. app(): Creates and returns a Symfony kernel instance for testing
2. container(): Gets the test service container from the kernel
3. inject(): Retrieves a service from the container by its ID

These functions make it easier to work with Symfony's dependency injection container in Pest tests, allowing for simpler access to the application kernel, container, and services.
