What is Ditto?
--------------

[](#what-is-ditto)

Ditto is a simple wrapper around PHPUnit assertions which allows developers to use a syntax similar to the one provided by [phpspec matchers](http://www.phpspec.net/docs/introduction.html#matchers). With it, you can replace your calls to `assertSame`, `assertEquals` and `assertInstanceOf`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Ditto\Ditto as d;

// Before PHP 5.5
$ditto = d::make('SomeClass');
// As of PHP 5.5
$ditto = d::make(SomeClass::class);

$ditto->someMethod()->shouldReturn('some value');

// ===
$ditto->someMethod()->shouldReturn('some value');
$ditto->someMethod()->shouldBe('some value');
$ditto->someMethod()->shouldEqual('some value');
$ditto->someMethod()->shouldBeEqualTo('some value');

// ==
$ditto->someMethod()->shouldBeLike('some value');

// instanceof
$ditto->someMethod()->shouldHaveType('SomeType');
$ditto->someMethod()->shouldReturnAnInstanceOf('SomeType');
$ditto->someMethod()->shouldBeAnInstance('SomeType');
$ditto->someMethod()->shouldImplement('SomeType');

// It also works on intrinsic values
$ditto = d::make('this is nice');
$ditto->shouldReturn('this is nice');

$ditto = d::make(15);
$ditto->shouldBe(15);
```
