Publicise lets you test the `private` or `protected` properties and methods in your classes. Behind the scenes, it utilises PHP's ReflectionClass and offers a more readable api.

It is particularly useful for testing Fluent Interfaces.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require kodeas/publicise
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First, in your Test file or TestCase class, import the trait.

```
use Kodeas\Publicise\WithPublicise;
use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class PubliciseTest extends TestCase
{
    use WithPublicise;
}
```

Then, you can reflect any class using `$this->publicise()`

```
/** @test */
public function can_call_private_method()
{
    $publicisedClass = $this->publicise(new YourClass());

    $publicisedClass->privateMethod();
}
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
