[](#write-a-scenario)

Here is a simple scenario:

Note: You have to implement the "When I eat one apple" step by yourself.

```
  Scenario: Buy a product
    Given there are following "fruits":
      | name   | stock_level |
      | apple  | 10          |
      | orange | 5           |

    When I eat one apple

    Then there should be following "fruits":
      | name   | stock_level |
      | apple  | 9           |
      | orange | 5           |

```

Use PDO in your feature class
=============================

[](#use-pdo-in-your-feature-class)

If you want to use `PDO` in your feature class, you can simply extend your feature class from `lixu\BehatPDOExtension\Context\PDOContext`, and get the PDO instance by `$this->getPDO()`.
