README

Library created for testing all kinds of JSON/XML/TXT/Scalar values against patterns.

API:

PHPMatcher::match($value = '{"foo": "bar"}', $pattern = '{"foo": "@string@"}') : bool;
PHPMatcher::backtrace() : Backtrace;
PHPMatcher::error() : ?string;

It was built to simplify API's functional testing.

We Stand Against Terror

On Feb. 24, 2022, Russia declared an unprovoked war on Ukraine and launched a full-scale invasion. Russia is currently bombing peaceful Ukrainian cities, including schools and hospitals and attacking civilians who are fleeing conflict zones.

On Oct. 7, 2023, the national holiday of Simchat Torah, Hamas terrorists initiated an attack on Israel in the early hours, targeting civilians. They unleashed violence that resulted in at least 1,400 casualties and abducted at least 200 individuals, not limited to Israelis.

Installation

Require new dev dependency using composer:

composer require --dev "coduo/php-matcher"

Basic usage

Direct PHPMatcher usage

<?php

use Coduo\PHPMatcher\PHPMatcher;

$matcher = new PHPMatcher();
$match = $matcher->match("lorem ipsum dolor", "@string@");

if (!$match) {
    echo "Error: " . $matcher->error();
    echo "Backtrace: \n";
    echo (string) $matcher->backtrace();
}

PHPUnit extending PHPMatcherTestCase

<?php

use Coduo\PHPMatcher\PHPUnit\PHPMatcherTestCase;

class MatcherTest extends PHPMatcherTestCase
{
    public function test_matcher_that_value_matches_pattern()
    {
        $this->assertMatchesPattern('{"name": "@string@"}', '{"name": "Norbert"}');
    }
}

PHPUnit using PHPMatcherAssertions trait

<?php

use Coduo\PHPMatcher\PHPUnit\PHPMatcherAssertions;
use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class MatcherTest extends TestCase
{
    use PHPMatcherAssertions;

    public function test_matcher_that_value_matches_pattern()
    {
        $this->assertMatchesPattern('{"name": "@string@"}', '{"name": "Norbert"}');
    }
}

Available patterns

• @string@
• @integer@
• @number@
• @double@
• @boolean@
• @time@
• @date@
• @datetime@
• @timezone@ || @tz
• @array@
• @array_previous@ - match next array element using pattern from previous element
• @array_previous_repeat@ - match all remaining array elements using pattern from previous element
• @...@ - unbounded array, once used matcher will skip any further array elements
• @null@
• @*@ || @wildcard@
• expr(expression) - optional, requires symfony/expression-language: ^2.3|^3.0|^4.0|^5.0 to be present
• @uuid@

      6.66
  ),
   array(
      'users' => array(
          array(
              'id' => '@integer@.greaterThan(0)',
              'firstName' => '@string@',

        "position": "@string@.optional()"
      }
    ]
  }'

        "lastName": "Dąbrowski",
        "created": "2014-01-01",
        "roles":["ROLE_USER", "ROLE_DEVELOPER", "ROLE_ADMIN"],
        "attributes": {
          "isAdmin": true,
          "dateOfBirth": null,
          "hasEmailVerified": true
        },
        "avatar": null
      }
    ]
  }',
  '{
    "users":[
      {
        "firstName": "@string@",

      }
      ,
      @...@
    ]
  }'
);

Xml matching

Example scenario for api in behat using mongo.

@profile, @user
Feature: Listing user toys

  As a user
  I want to list my toys

  Background:
    Given I send and accept JSON

  Scenario: Listing toys
    Given the following users exist:
      | firstName     | lastName     |
      | Chuck         | Norris       |

    And the following toys user "Chuck Norris" exist:
      | name            |
      | Barbie          |
      | GI Joe          |
      | Optimus Prime   |

    When I set valid authorization code oauth header for user "Chuck Norris"
    And I send a GET request on "/api/toys"
    Then the response status code should be 200
    And the JSON response should match:
    """
      [
        {
          "id": "@string@",
          "name": "Barbie",
          "_links: "@*@"
        },
        {
          "id": "@string@",
          "name": "GI Joe",
          "_links": "@*@"
        },
        {
          "id": "@string@",
          "name": "Optimus Prime",
          "_links": "@*@"
        }
      ]
    """

PHPUnit integration

The assertMatchesPattern() is a handy assertion that matches values in PHPUnit tests. To use it either include the Coduo\PHPMatcher\PHPUnit\PHPMatcherAssertions trait, or extend the Coduo\PHPMatcher\PHPUnit\PHPMatcherTestCase:

namespace Coduo\PHPMatcher\Tests\PHPUnit;

use Coduo\PHPMatcher\PHPUnit\PHPMatcherAssertions;
use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class PHPMatcherAssertionsTest extends TestCase
{
    use PHPMatcherAssertions;

    public function test_it_asserts_if_a_value_matches_the_pattern()
    {
        $this->assertMatchesPattern('@string@', 'foo');
    }
}

The matchesPattern() method can be used in PHPUnit stubs or mocks:

$mock = $this->createMock(Foo::class);
$mock->method('bar')
    ->with($this->matchesPattern('@string@'))
    ->willReturn('foo');
