Ensure
======

[](#ensure)

Ensure is born with the thought that an ideal unit test should be a strict equality between the output of a function and its expected result. Then, Ensure is that base tool for anything to test.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require --dev sophie-spec/ensure
```

Requires PHP >= 7.4.

Use
---

[](#use)

```
use function Sophie\Ensure\ensure;

$add = function ($a, $b) {
    return $a + $b;
};

ensure($add(1, 2), 3);
```

If the assertion fails, a `Sophie\Ensure\FailedAssertionException` error is thrown with a detailed message:

```
ensure($add(1, 2), 10);
/*
    Both values are not equal.

    Provided value:
        3

    Expected value:
        10
*/
```

More complex values are also well printed:

```
ensure(
    [
        'strawberry',
        'orange',
        'lime',
    ],
    [
        'orange',
        'lime',
        'strawberry',
    ],
);

/*
    Both values are not equal.

    Provided value:
        array:3 [
            0 => (10) "strawberry"
            1 => (6) "orange"
            2 => (4) "lime"
        ]

    Expected value:
        array:3 [
            0 => (6) "orange"
            1 => (4) "lime"
            2 => (10) "strawberry"
        ]
*/
```
