VRXVerbalExpressions

====================

An Objective-C implementation of [VerbalExpressions](https://github.com/VerbalExpressions)

## Installation

For now, just add VRXVerbalExpressions.h and VRXVerbalExpressions.m files to your project. 

(CocoaPods coming soon)

## Examples

### Testing if we have a valid URL

```Objective-C

//

// There are two ways of creating VRXExpressions. Either through

// a block based API:

//

id exp = [VRXVerbalExpression create:^(VRXVerbalExpression *r) {

        [r startOfLine];

        [r then:@"http"];

        [r maybe:@"s"];

        [r then:@"://"];

        [r maybe:@"www."];

        [r anythingBut:@" "];

        [r endOfLine];

}];

// 

// or a messages based API can be used:

// Note that startOfLine is both an instance and class method, 

// facilitating both methods of creating expressions

//

id exp = [[[[[[[VRXVerbalExpression startOfLine]

                   then:@"http"]

                  maybe:@"s"]

                 then:@"://"]

                maybe:@"www."]

               anythingBut:@" "]

              endOfLine];

//

// Once a VRXVerbalExpression has been created (id was used

// above for brevity), it can be tested for matches:

//

BOOL test = [exp test:@"https://www.google.com"];

```

## Developer setup : running the tests

The tests use [NSUnit](https://github.com/jacksonh/NSUnit), there is a Podfile included that will setup NSUnit for you. Just run `Pod install` in the VRXVerbalExpressions directory.
