Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

### Creating Test

[](#creating-test)

First, create object of test type class (e.g `LEqualityTest`).

A test required 3 arguments, `expected output`, `callback` and `message`.

Callback must be a function argument. You can call other functions in this function.

### Test

[](#test)

Now, create the LightTest object and add the tests.

Call `run` method to run the tests.

```

function getName() {
    return 'Nabeel Ali';
}
function getName2() {
    return 'Not Nabeel Ali but Nabeel Ali';
}

function getAge() {
    return 28;
}
function getAgeWrong() {
    return "28";
}

function printName() {
    echo 'Nabeel';
}

$test1 = new LEqualityTest('Nabeel Ali', function() { return getName(); }, "Test First Name");
$test2 = new LEqualityTest('Nabeel Ali', function() { return getName2(); }, "Testing Second Name");
$test3 = new LInstanceOfTest('string', function() { return getName(); }, "Testing If Name is a string");
$test4 = new LInstanceOfTest('integer', function() { return getAge(); }, "Testing if Age is an integer");
$test5 = new LInstanceOfTest('integer', function() { return getAge(); }, "Testing if Age is an integer");
$test6 = new LOutputEqualityTest('Nabeel', function() {  printName(); }, "Testing output of printName()");

$lt = new LightTest();
$lt->addTest($test1);
$lt->addTest($test2);
$lt->addTest($test3);
$lt->addTest($test4);
$lt->addTest($test5);
$lt->addTest($test6);
$lt->run();

```

Available Tests
---------------

[](#available-tests)

By default, LightTest has these tests

### Equality Test

[](#equality-test)

Check Values of Callback for Equality with Expected Value

### Instance Check Test

[](#instance-check-test)

Check if Callback returns an instance that matches expected argument.

### Output Check Test

[](#output-check-test)

Check if Callback prints expected output.

Make Own Test Handler
---------------------

[](#make-own-test-handler)

You can make your own test handler by extending the `LTestClass` class. You need to implement the `handle` method.

Optionally, you can also implement the `runAfter` method. This method is executed after the execution of callback and it is to modify result.

In `handle` method, you can use `$this->getResult()` and `$this->exprectedOutput`.

if test passes, call `$this->pass()` else call `$this->fail()`

```
namespace IconicCodes\LightTest;

class LInstanceOfTest extends LTest
{
    public function runAfter() {
        $this->result = gettype($this->result);
    }
    public function handle()
    {
        $this->__start();
        if ($this->getResult() == $this->expectedOutput) {
            $this->pass();
        } else {
            $this->fail();
        }
    }
}

```
