### Overview

[](#overview)

##### Classical method creating of mock

[](#classical-method-creating-of-mock)

```
class CartServiceTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    // provider etc.
    public function addProductTest($product, $expectations)
    {
        $cart = new CartService(
            $this->createMockOfDatabase()
        );

        // some test and assertions
    }

    private function createMockOfDatabase()
    {
        $values = [0, 1, 2];

        $statement = $this->getMockBuilder(\PDOStatement::class)
            ->disableOriginalConstructor()
            ->getMock();
        $statement->method('fetchAll')->willReturn($values);

        $pdo = $this->getMockBuilder(\PDO::class)
            ->disableOriginalConstructor()
            ->getMock();

        $pdo->method('query')->willReturn($statement);

        return $pdo;
    }
}
```

##### Creating the same mock with the YMock

[](#creating-the-same-mock-with-the-ymock)

```
class CartServiceTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    // provider etc.
    public function addProductTest($product, $expectations)
    {
        $ymock = new \SyntaxErro\YMock\YMock($this, './path/to/mocks.yml');
        $mocks = $ymock->getMocks();

        $cart = new CartService(
            $mocks->get('valid_query_database_connection')
        );

        // some test and assertions
    }
}
```

```
valid_query_database_connection:
  class: "\\PDO"
  disable_original_constructor: true
  methods:
    query:
      class: "\\PDOStatement"
      disable_original_constructor: true
      methods:
        fetchAll: [0, 1, 2]
```
