This is the PHP port of Hamcrest Matchers
=========================================

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/hamcrest/hamcrest-php.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/hamcrest/hamcrest-php)

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:

  1. `instanceOf($theClass)` is actually `anInstanceOf($theClass)`

  2. `both(containsString('a'))->and(containsString('b'))`
     is actually `both(containsString('a'))->andAlso(containsString('b'))`

  3. `either(containsString('a'))->or(containsString('b'))`
     is actually `either(containsString('a'))->orElse(containsString('b'))`

  4. 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().

  5. Several official matchers have not been ported because they don't
     make sense or don't apply in PHP:

       - `typeCompatibleWith($theClass)`
       - `eventFrom($source)`
       - `hasProperty($name)` **
       - `samePropertyValuesAs($obj)` **

  6. 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.

** [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).


Usage
-----

Hamcrest matchers are easy to use as:

```php
Hamcrest_MatcherAssert::assertThat('a', Hamcrest_Matchers::equalToIgnoringCase('A'));
```

Alternatively, you can use the global proxy-functions:

```php
$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:

```php
\Hamcrest\Util::registerGlobalFunctions();
```

For brevity, all of the examples below use the proxy-functions.

$list = range(2, 7, 2);
$item = 4;
assertThat($list, hasItemInArray($item));
```

* `hasValue` - alias of hasItemInArray

* `arrayContainingInAnyOrder` - check if array contains elements in any order

assertThat([2, 4, 6], arrayContainingInAnyOrder([6, 4, 2]));
assertThat([2, 4, 6], arrayContainingInAnyOrder([4, 2, 6]));
```

* `containsInAnyOrder` - alias of arrayContainingInAnyOrder

* `arrayContaining` - An array with elements that match the given matchers in the same order.
```php
assertThat([2, 4, 6], arrayContaining([2, 4, 6]));
assertthat([2, 4, 6], not(arrayContaining([6, 4, 2])));
```

* `contains` - check array in same order
```php
assertThat([2, 4, 6], contains([2, 4, 6]));
```

* `hasKeyInArray` - check if array has given key
```php
assertThat(['name'=> 'foobar'], hasKeyInArray('name'));
```

* `hasKey` - alias of hasKeyInArray

* `hasKeyValuePair` - check if arary has given key, value pair

```
* `emptyArray` - check if array is emtpy
```php
assertThat([], emptyArray());
```

* `nonEmptyArray`
```php
assertThat([1], nonEmptyArray());
```

### Collection

* `emptyTraversable` - check if traversable is empty
```php
$empty_it = new EmptyIterator;
assertThat($empty_it, emptyTraversable());
```

* `nonEmptyTraversable` - check if traversable isn't empty
```php
$non_empty_it = new ArrayIterator(range(1, 10));
assertThat($non_empty_it, nonEmptyTraversable());
a
```

* `traversableWithSize`
```php
$non_empty_it = new ArrayIterator(range(1, 10));
assertThat($non_empty_it, traversableWithSize(count(range(1, 10))));
`
```

### Core

* `allOf` - Evaluates to true only if ALL of the passed in matchers evaluate to true.
```php
assertThat([2,4,6], allOf(hasValue(2), arrayWithSize(3)));
```

* `anyOf` - Evaluates to true if ANY of the passed in matchers evaluate to true.
```php

```

* `noneOf` - Evaluates to false if ANY of the passed in matchers evaluate to true.
```php
assertThat([2, 4, 6], noneOf(hasValue(1), hasValue(3)));
```

* `both` + `andAlso` - This is useful for fluently combining matchers that must both pass.
```php
assertThat([2, 4, 6], both(hasValue(2))->andAlso(hasValue(4)));
```

* `either` + `orElse` - This is useful for fluently combining matchers where either may pass,
```php
assertThat([2, 4, 6], either(hasValue(2))->orElse(hasValue(4)));
```

* `describedAs` - Wraps an existing matcher and overrides the description when it fails.
```php 
$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()));
```

* `everyItem` - A matcher to apply to every element in an array.
```php
assertThat([2, 4, 6], everyItem(notNullValue()));
```

* `hasItem` - check array has given item, it can take a matcher argument
```php
assertThat([2, 4, 6], hasItem(equalTo(2)));

The Rise of Contactless Payments:...

The Future of Digital Wallets: How Mobile Payments are Shaping the Financial Landscape

Digital wallets have fundamentally transformed how we manage money, offering a streamlined, secure, and highly efficient method for handling payments and transactions. By consolidating credit, debit, and loyalty card information into a single app, digital wallets simplify the payment process and eliminate the need for physical cards, enhancing both convenience and security.
As digital wallets evolve, they are integrating advanced features that push the boundaries of traditional payment methods. Biometric authentication, such as fingerprint and facial recognition, adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that only authorized users can access their payment information. Real-time transaction alerts provide instant notifications for every transaction, allowing users to monitor their spending and detect any unauthorized activity swiftly. Budgeting tools within digital wallets offer personalized insights and financial management capabilities, helping users track their expenses and plan their budgets more effectively.
The growing adoption of digital wallets is fueled by their ease of use and the increasing demand for contactless payment solutions. As technology advances, digital wallets are likely to incorporate even more innovative features, such as artificial intelligence for personalized financial advice, integrated loyalty programs for seamless rewards management, and cross-border transaction capabilities for global shopping convenience.
The integration of these features is reshaping the financial landscape by making transactions not only faster but also more secure and user-friendly. The future of digital wallets is set to further revolutionize how we handle our finances, offering an all-encompassing solution that caters to the evolving needs of modern consumers. As digital wallets continue to advance, they will play an increasingly central role in shaping the future of financial interactions, driving the global shift towards a more digital and cashless economy.
