PHPSpec Time
============

[](#phpspec-time)

A [PHPSpec](http://www.phpspec.net/) extension providing matchers for measuring time in tests.

New matchers:

- `shouldTakeLessThan(float $timeUnit)`
- `shouldTakeMoreThan(float $timeUnit)`
- `shouldTakeInBetween(float $fromTimeUnit, float $toTimeUnit)`

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

[](#installation)

`composer require loophp/phpspec-time`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add the extension to the phpspec configuration file:

```
extensions:
    loophp\phpspectime\Extension: ~
```

By default, the time unit is in `second`, however other units are available:

- `nanosecond`
- `microsecond`
- `millisecond`
- `second`
- `minute`
- `hour`
- `day`
- `week`

If you want to change the time unit edit the extension configuration as such:

```
extensions:
    loophp\phpspectime\Extension:
        timeunit: nanosecond
```

In your tests, you'll have now access to the following new matchers:

```
    $this
        ->shouldTakeMoreThan(10)
        ->during('method');

    $this
        ->shouldNotTakeMoreThan(10)
        ->during('method');

    $this
        ->shouldTakeLessThan(10)
        ->during('method');

    $this
        ->shouldNotTakeLessThan(10)
        ->during('method');

    $this
        ->shouldTakeInBetween(3.0, 3.2)
        ->during('method');

    $this
        ->shouldNotTakeInBetween(3.0, 3.2)
        ->during('method');
```

Code quality, tests and benchmarks
----------------------------------

[](#code-quality-tests-and-benchmarks)

Every time changes are introduced into the library, [Github](https://github.com/loophp/phpspec-time/actions) run the tests.

The library has tests written with [PHPSpec](http://www.phpspec.net/). Feel free to check them out in the `spec` directory. Run `composer phpspec` to trigger the tests.

Before each commit some inspections are executed with [GrumPHP](https://github.com/phpro/grumphp), run `composer grumphp` to check manually.

The quality of the tests is tested with [Infection](https://github.com/infection/infection) a PHP Mutation testing framework, run `composer infection` to try it.

Static analysers are also controlling the code. [PHPStan](https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan) and [PSalm](https://github.com/vimeo/psalm) are enabled to their maximum level.

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

Feel free to contribute by sending Github pull requests. I'm quite reactive :-)

If you can't contribute to the code, you can also sponsor me on [Github](https://github.com/sponsors/drupol) or [Paypal](https://www.paypal.me/drupol).
