Laravel Form Request Unit
=========================

[](#laravel-form-request-unit)

[![Integration](https://github.com/kishieel/laravel-form-request-unit/actions/workflows/integration.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/kishieel/laravel-form-request-unit/actions/workflows/integration.yml)

Helpers for laravel form request unit testing. It allows you to keep your controller tests clean and focus on testing their proper purpose by taking form request assertions to separate tests.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require --dev kishieel/laravel-form-request-unit
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Rules Validation

[](#rules-validation)

With `FormRequestValidator` trait you may test your `FormRequest` without direct request to controller. Mentioned trait provide `validate` method which takes `FormRequest` and data which should be validated as arguments.

```
use Kishieel\RequestUnit\FormRequestValidator;

public function some_example_test()
{
    $formRequest = new YourFormRequest();
    $data = [
        'property_1' => 12,
        'property_2' => 'string'
    ];

    $result = $this->validate($formRequest, $data);
    // ..
}
```

As a result you will get `ValidatorResponse` which provide `passes` and `errors` methods. First method allow you to determinate whether data passes validation against form request rules. Second method may be used when you expected validation fail and want to determinate whether data failed against expected rule.

```
use Kishieel\RequestUnit\FormRequestValidator;

public function some_example_test()
{
    // ..

    $this->assertFalse($result->passes());
    $this->assertArrayHasKey('property_3', $result->errors());
}
```

### Selective Validation

[](#selective-validation)

With a very complex `FormRequest`, you may want to test data against only specified rules. You may achieve this by passing array of rule keys as third parameter of `validate` method.

```
use Kishieel\RequestUnit\FormRequestValidator;

public function some_example_test()
{
    // ..
    $result = $this->validate($formRequest, $data, ['property_1']);

    // will keep errors only for `property_1`
    $result->errors();
}
```

### Authorization Validation

[](#authorization-validation)

With `FormRequestValidator` you may validate `FormRequest` authorization method. Result will be available via `passes` method on validation result.

### Testing Custom Validation Rules

[](#testing-custom-validation-rules)

In case of custom validation rules you may use `FormRequestCreator` to create `FormRequest` on runtime and test it against your data. `FormRequestCreator` takes rules array and authorization callback as constructor arguments. Arguments are optional. You may use `setRules` and `setAuthorization` methods if you prefer.

```
Validator::extend('mac_address', function ($attribute, $value) {
    return preg_match('/^([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}[:-]){5}([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})$/', strval($value));
});
```

```
use Kishieel\RequestUnit\FormRequestValidator;

public function some_example_test()
{
    $formRequest = new \Kishieel\RequestUnit\FormRequestCreator([
        'mac_address' => 'required|mac_address'
    ]);

    $result = $this->validate($formRequest, ['mac_address' => 'invalid_mac_address']);

    $this->assertFalse($result->passes());
    $this->assertArrayHasKey('mac_address', $result->errors());
}
```
