Kahlan is a full-featured Unit & BDD test framework a la RSpec/JSpec which uses a `describe-it` syntax and moves testing in PHP one step forward.

**Kahlan lets you stub or monkey patch your code directly like in Ruby or JavaScript without any required PECL-extensions.**

## Documentation

See the [full documentation here](https://kahlan.github.io/docs)

## Requirements

* PHP 7.2+
* Composer
* [phpdbg](http://php.net/manual/en/debugger-about.php) or [Xdebug](http://xdebug.org/) (only required for code coverage analysis)

## Main Features

* RSpec/JSpec syntax
* Code Coverage metrics ([xdebug](http://xdebug.org) or [phpdbg](http://phpdbg.com/docs) required)
* Handy stubbing system ([mockery](https://github.com/padraic/mockery) or [prophecy](https://github.com/phpspec/prophecy) are no longer needed)
* Set stubs on your class methods directly (i.e allows dynamic mocking)
* Ability to Monkey Patch your code (i.e. allows replacement of core functions/classes on the fly)
* Check called methods on your classes/instances
* Built-in Reporters (Terminal or HTML reporting through [istanbul](https://gotwarlost.github.io/istanbul/) or [lcov](http://ltp.sourceforge.net/coverage/lcov.php))
* Built-in Exporters (Coveralls, Code Climate, Scrutinizer, Clover)
* Extensible, customizable workflow

## Syntax

```php
toBe(true);

});

it("expects methods to be called", function() {

$user = new User();
expect($user)->toReceive('save')->with(['validates' => false]);
$user->save(['validates' => false]);

});

it("stubs a function", function() {

allow('time')->toBeCalled()->andReturn(123);
$user = new User();
expect($user->save())->toBe(true)
expect($user->created)->toBe(123);

});

it("stubs a class", function() {

allow('PDO')->toReceive('prepare', 'fetchAll')->andReturn([['name' => 'bob']]);
$user = new User();
expect($user->all())->toBe([['name' => 'bob']]);

});

});

```

composer install
bin/kahlan # to run specs or,
bin/kahlan --coverage=4 # to run specs with coverage info for namespaces, classes & methods (require xdebug)
```
