How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

1. Install pact mock service:

    1. Install Ruby and Ruby Gems
    2. Write a Gemfile:

        ```
        source 'https://rubygems.org'
        gem 'pact-mock_service', '~> 0.7.0'
        ```
    3. Run bundler to get the gems: `gem install bundler && bundle install`
2. Install composer: `curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php`
3. Install dependencies: `php composer.phar install`
4. Write a phpunit test similar to the following:

    ```
    public function testMyProvider() {
      $client = new ZooClient('http://localhost:1234');

      $alligatorProvider = Pact::mockService([
        'consumer' => 'Alligator Consumer',
        'provider' => 'Alligator Provider',
        'port' => 1234
      ]);

      $alligatorProvider
        ->given("an alligator with the name Mary exists")
        ->uponReceiving("a request for an alligator")
        ->withRequest("get", "/alligators/Mary", [
          "Accept" => "application/json"
        ])->willRespondWith(200, [
          "Content-Type" => "application/json"
        ], [
          "name" => "Mary"
        ]);

      $alligatorProvider->run(function() use ($client) {
        $alligator = $client->getAlligatorByName('Mary');
        $this->assertInstanceOf("Alligator", $alligator);
        $this->assertEquals("Mary", $alligator->getName());
      });
    }
    ```
5. Start the mock server: `bundle exec pact-mock-service -p 1234 --pact-specification-version 2.0.0 -l log/pact.logs --pact-dir tmp/pacts`
6. Run phpunit: `./vendor/bin/phpunit`
7. Inspect the pact file in `tmp/pacts`
