**Larahat** extension is an extremely simple way to start behaviour-driven development with **Lara**vel framework and Be**hat**.

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

[](#installation)

Just use composer, it will add required classes to your `vendor` directory at `Larahat` namespace:

```
composer require krzysztofrewak/larahat --dev

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Locate your Behat configuration file (usually it's a `behat.yml`) and add `Larahat\BehatExtension` to your `extensions` list. You can also provide a custom `.env` filename via `env` variable, but by default it will be always `.env.behat`.

```
default:
  extensions:
    KrzysztofRewak\Larahat\BehatExtension:
      env: ".env.behat"
```

From now, in your context files you are able to use `app()` helper for retrieving your bootstrapped Laravel application. For example, you can handle requests directly into your application like that:

```
/**
 * @When :method request is sent to :endpoint endpoint
 * @param string $method
 * @param string $endpoint
 */
public function requestIsSentToEndpoint(string $method, string $endpoint): void
{
    $request = Request::create($endpoint, $method);
    app()->handle($request);
}
```

### Helpers

[](#helpers)

- `KrzysztofRewak\Larahat\Helpers\DisablingThrottling` trait added to your context helps with disabling throttling middleware;
- `KrzysztofRewak\Larahat\Helpers\RefreshDatabase` trait added to your context helps with refreshing database with every scenario;
- `KrzysztofRewak\Larahat\Helpers\SimpleRequesting` trait added to your context helps with sending requests and receiving responses from your application.

Development
-----------

[](#development)

You can use Composer in a container if you want to:

```
docker-compose run -w /application -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" composer install

```
