EqualsBuilder for PHP

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b7148d7ea519f53b75e093350eb57b98536168e77f5deb142a6b2e0509bb6c4c/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f636f64656c696e65722f7068702d657175616c736275696c6465722e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/codeliner/php-equalsbuilder)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Installation of codeliner/php-equalsbuilder uses composer. For composer documentation, please refer to [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/). Add following requirement to your composer.json

```
"codeliner/php-equalsbuilder" : "1.2.*"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use the EqualsBuilder to compare any number of value pairs at once.

```
echo EqualsBuilder::create()
                ->append('equals', 'equals')
                ->append(1, 1)
                ->append(1, '1')
                ->equals() ?
    "All value pairs are equal" : "At least one value pair is not equal";

//Output: All value pairs are equal
```

You can enable strict mode to compare against the value types, too.

```
echo EqualsBuilder::create()
                ->append('equals', 'equals')
                ->append(1, 1)
                ->append(1, '1')
                ->strict() //enable strict mode
                ->equals() ?
    "All value pairs are equal" : "At least one value pair is not equal";

//Output: At least one value pair is not equal
```

If you only provide the first parameter the second one is set to true. This enables you to use comparison methods of objects together with the EqualsBuilder.

```
echo EqualsBuilder::create()
                ->append($vo->sameValueAs($otherVo))
                ->append(1, 1)
                ->append(1, '1')
                ->equals() ?
    "All value pairs are equal" : "At least one value pair is not equal";

//Output: All value pairs are equal
```

You can also provide a callback as third parameter which is called with the value pair. The callback should return a boolean value.

```
echo EqualsBuilder::create()
                ->append($vo, $otherVo, function($a, $b) { return $a->sameValueAs($b);})
                ->append(1, 1)
                ->append(1, '1')
                ->equals() ?
    "All value pairs are equal" : "At least one value pair is not equal";

//Output: All value pairs are equal
```

The callback option gets really interesting when $a and $b are array lists (arrays with continuous integer keys starting at 0 and ending at count - 1 ). In this case the callback is called for every item in list $a together with the corresponding item of list $b assumed that count($a) == count($b) is true.

```
$aList = array($vo1, $vo2, $vo3);
$bList = array($vo1, $vo2, $vo3);

echo EqualsBuilder::create()
                ->append($aList, $bList, function($aVO, $bVO) { return $aVO->sameValueAs($bVO);})
                ->append(1, 1)
                ->append(1, '1')
                ->equals() ?
    "All value pairs are equal" : "At least one value pair is not equal";

//Output: All value pairs are equal
```
