Setup
-----

[](#setup)

```
$ composer require --dev rskuipers/php-assumptions
```

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

PHP Assumptions is the result of a proof of concept inspired by the "[From assumptions to assertions](http://rskuipers.com/entry/from-assumptions-to-assertions)" blog post. It's a static code analysis tool doing checks for weak assumptions.

This is an example of an **assumption**:

```
if ($user !== null) {
    $user->logout();
}
```

Running `bin/phpa` on this file would yield the following output:

```
----------------------------------------------
| file        | line | message               |
==============================================
| example.php | 3    | if ($user !== null) { |
----------------------------------------------

1 out of 1 boolean expressions are assumptions (100%)

```

This is an example of an **assertion**:

```
if ($user instanceof User) {
    $user->logout();
}
```

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

This project is built with [PHPUnit](https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit) and [Prophecy](https://github.com/phpspec/prophecy-phpunit). In order to run these tests make sure you have dev dependencies installed with composer.

Running PHPUnit:

```
$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit
```
