# Assert objects have same state

![travis status](https://travis-ci.org/BackEndTea/assert-object-same-state.svg?branch=master)

PHPUnit assertion helper to check if two objects have the same state.

Please note that same state only refers to the state of the properties. 

If you use the `static` keyword inside of functions, and they have their own state, then you are on your own.

## Install

Use [composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```bash

$ composer require backendtea/assert-object-same-state --dev

```

### Usage

This package is compatible with phpunit 8.

```php

assertObjectHasSameSate($one, $two);

    }

}

```

### Outside of PHPUnit

```php

haveSameState($objectOne, $objectTwo);

```

## Why

`assertSame()` or `===`  checks if the two variables are refferencing the same object, 

which may not be always what you need.

But `assertEquals` or `==` is too loose a comparison, as it suffers from the same issues as other loose comparisons.

For example:

```php

prop = $prop;

    }

}

new Thing(10) == new Thing('10'); // true

new Thing(10) === new Thing('10'); // false

new Thing(10) === new Thing(10); // false

```

## Limitations

Same state only refers to the state of the properties. 

If you use the `static` keyword inside of methods, and they have their own state, 

then you are on your own.
