[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/daa7a17c19c63356eaa2051bf570b315bb7a01230bf5fba243772c9c4d52b59a/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f696e67656e657261746f722f62655f656e746974792e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](http://travis-ci.org/ingenerator/be_entity) Usage Example ------------- [](#usage-example) ``` Given a User entity "ingenerator@users.noreply.github.com" with password "12345678" And I go to "/login" And I fill in "email" with "ingenerator@users.noreply.github.com" And I fill in "password" with "12345678" When I press "Login" Then I should be on "/" And I should be logged in Given no User entity "nobody.here@no.domain" And I go to "/login" And I fill in "email" with "ingenerator@users.noreply.github.com" And I fill in "password" with "12345678" When I press "Login" Then I should be on "/login" And I should see "Invalid user or password" ``` ``` namespace Ingenerator\BeEntity\Factory; class User extends Ingenerator\BeEntity\Factory { protected function _locate($identifier) { return $this->entity_manager->getRepository('Project\User')->findOneBy(array('email' => $identifier)); } protected function _create($identifier) { $user = new Project\User; $user->set_email($identifier); $user->set_password('foo'); return $user; } } ``` Installation ------------ [](#installation) Add to your composer.json: ``` { "require": { "ingenerator/be_entity" : "dev-master" } } ``` Create the BeEntity context as a subcontext of your FeatureContext: ``` class FeatureContext extends Behat\Behat\Context\BehatContext { public function __construct() { $em = new Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager; // Whatever code you need to get an EntityManager instance in your app $this->useContext('be_entity', new Ingenerator\BeEntity\Context\BeEntityContext($em)); } } ``` Create factory classes for each type of entity you want to use in your features - see the example User factory above. Your factory defines how to use the step argument to search for an entity of that type and declares sensible defaults for a new entity record. Note that you can have multiple factory classes for each entity type in your application - for example, you might create an Administrator factory that creates Project\\User entities with a particular field set or role granted. Roadmap ------- [](#roadmap) - Generators for sequences of entities - eg user1, user2, user3 - Entity references - eg `Given the Blog entity "My first blog" has author "User: ingenerator@users.noreply.github.com"` - Wipe db/wipe table hooks for specific scenarios that require an empty database or integration builds - Review Entity Manager injection and consider a service container layer Contributors and Credits ------------------------ [](#contributors-and-credits) - Andrew Coulton [acoulton](http://github.com/acoulton) \[lead developer\] Heavily inspired by [thoughtbot's factory\_girl ruby gem](https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl).
