This library compares two values for equality.

If you need to add your own rules for comparing specific values, you can extend the library with your own comparison strategies.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Simple equality comparison (`==` or `===`)
- Strategy interface for your own comparison rules

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require scheb/comparator
```

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

[](#how-to-use)

```
$comparator = new \Scheb\Comparator\Comparator(true); // Type-sensive equal (===)
$comparator->isEqual(0, "0"); // Returns false
$comparator->isEqual(0, ""); // Returns false
$comparator->isEqual(0, 0); // Returns true
$comparator->isEqual(0, "foo"); // Returns false

$comparator = new \Scheb\Comparator\Comparator(false); // Type-insensive equal (==)
$comparator->isEqual(0, "0"); // Returns true
$comparator->isEqual(0, ""); // Returns true
$comparator->isEqual(0, 0); // Returns true
$comparator->isEqual(0, "foo"); // Returns false
```

How to extend
-------------

[](#how-to-extend)

To add your own comparison strategy, implement `Scheb\Comparator\ValueComparisonStrategyInterface`.

Then, add an instance of that class via the constructor argument `$customComparisonStrategies` of `Scheb\Comparator\Comparator`.

Custom comparison strategies take preference over default ones.

Contribute
----------

[](#contribute)

You're welcome to [contribute](https://github.com/scheb/comparator/graphs/contributors) to this library by creating a pull requests or feature request in the issues section. For pull requests, please follow these guidelines:

- Please add/update test cases
- Test methods should be named `[method]_[scenario]_[expected result]`
