Provides PHPUnit assertions for snapshot testing

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev lelinea/snapshot-testing

```

### Basic Usage

[](#basic-usage)

```
use Lelinea\ApiSnapshotTesting\MatchesSnapshots;

final class MyUnitTest extends TestCase
{
    use MatchesSnapshots;

    public function testJson()
    {
        $myJsonData = json_encode([
            'foo' => 'bar',
        ]);

        $this->assertMatchesJsonSnapshot($myJsonData, 'localhost/json-test-route');
    }

    public function testXml()
    {
        $myXmlData = "7d644cc6-70fa-11e9-89e1-220d3e3a2561";

        $this->assertMatchesXmlSnapshot($myXmlData, 'localhost/xml-test-route');
    }

    public function testCsv()
    {
        $myCsvData =  'bar',
        ]);

        $this->assertMatchesJsonSnapshot($myJsonData, 'localhost/json-test-route', [
            new UuidWildcard('id'),
        ]);
    }

    public function testXml()
    {
        $myXmlData = '7d644cc6-70fa-11e9-89e1-220d3e3a2561';

        $this->assertMatchesXmlSnapshot($myXmlData, 'localhost/xml-test-route', [
            new UuidWildcard('id'),
        ]);
    }
}
```

This ignores the concrete uuid given for the field "id" and only checks that a valid uuid is provided.

The library currently supports the following wildcards:

- BooleanWildcard
- IntegerWildcard
- UuidWildcard
- UuidOrNullWildcard
- DateTimeWildcard
- DateTimeOrNullWildcard
- StringWildcard
- StringOrNullWildcard

### Usage in CI

[](#usage-in-ci)

When running your tests in Continuous Integration you would possibly want to disable the creation of snapshots.

By using the --without-creating-snapshots parameter, PHPUnit will fail if the snapshots don't exist.

```
> ./vendor/bin/phpunit -d --without-creating-snapshots

1) ExampleTest::test_it_matches_a_string
Snapshot "ExampleTest__test_it_matches_a_string__1.txt" does not exist.
You can automatically create it by removing `-d --without-creating-snapshots` of PHPUnit's CLI arguments.

```
