## Expect(👨🏼💻).To(Be(🚀))
[](https://github.com/expectto/be/blob/main/LICENSE)
[](https://expectto.github.io/be/)
`expectto/be` is a Golang package that offers a substantial collection of `Be` matchers. Every `Be` matcher is
compatible with both [Ginkgo](https://github.com/onsi/ginkgo)/[Gomega](https://github.com/onsi/gomega)
and [Gomock](https://github.com/uber-go/mock). Where possible, arguments of matchers can be either finite values or
matchers (Be/Gomega/Gomock).
Employing `expectto/be` matchers enables you to create straightforward, readable, and maintainable unit or
integration tests in Golang. Tasks such as testing HTTP requests, validating JSON responses, and more become remarkably
comprehensive and straightforward.

## Installation
To use `Be` in your Golang project, simply import it:
```go
import "github.com/expectto/be"
```
## Example
Consider the following example demonstrating the usage of `expectto/be`'s HTTP request matchers:
```go
req, err := buildRequestForServiceFoo()
Expect(err).To(Succeed())
// Matching an HTTP request
Expect(req).To(be_http.Request(
// Matching the URL
be_http.HavingURL(be_url.URL(
be_url.WithHttps(),
be_url.HavingHost("example.com"),
be_url.HavingPath("/path"),
be_url.HavingSearchParam("status", "active"),
be_url.HavingSearchParam("v", be_reflected.AsNumericString()),
be_url.HavingSearchParam("q", "Hello World"),
)),
// Matching the HTTP method
be_http.POST()
// Matching request's context
be_http.HavingCtx(be_ctx.Ctx(
be_ctx.WithDeadline(be_time.LaterThan(time.Now().Add(30*time.Minute))),
be_ctx.WithValue("foobar", 100),
)),
// Matching the request body using JSON matchers
be_http.HavingBody(
be.JSON(
be_json.JsonAsReader,
be_json.HaveKeyValue("hello", "world"),
be_json.HaveKeyValue("n", be_reflected.AsInteger(), be_math.GreaterThan(10)),
be_json.HaveKeyValue("ids", be_reflected.AsSliceOf[string]),
Not(be_json.HaveKeyValue("deleted_field")), // not to have a deleted field
be_json.HaveKeyValue("email", be_string.ValidEmail(), be_string.HaveSuffix("@tests.com")),
// "details":[{"key":"foo"},{"key":"bar"}]
be_json.HaveKeyValue("details", And(
be_reflected.AsObjects(),
be.HaveLength(be_math.GreaterThan(2)),
ContainElements(
be_json.HaveKeyValue("key", "foo"),
be_json.HaveKeyValue("key", "bar"),
),
)),
),
),
// Matching HTTP headers
be_http.HavingHeader("X-Custom", "Hey-There"),
be_http.HavingHeader("Authorization",
be_string.MatchTemplate("Bearer {{jwt}}",
be_string.Var("jwt",
be_jwt.Token(
be_jwt.Valid(),
be_jwt.HavingClaim("name", "John Doe"),
),
),
),
))
```

`Always`, `Never`, `All`, `Any`, `Eq`, `Not`, `HaveLength`, `Dive`, `DiveAny`, `DiveFirst`
### be_reflected
📦 `be_reflected` provides Be matchers that use reflection, enabling expressive assertions on values' reflect kinds and
types.
[See detailed docs](be_reflected/README.md)

#### Data Type Matchers based on reflect.Kind
`AsString`, `AsBytes`, `AsNumeric`, `AsNumericString`, `AsInteger`, `AsIntegerString`, `AsFloat`, `AsFloatishString`,
#### Interface Matchers based on reflect.Kind
`AsReader`,`AsStringer`
#### Matchers based on types compatibility:
`AssignableTo`, `Implementing`
