# HashPolice
A gem to check whether given to hashes are of the same format

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hash_police'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install hash_police

## Usage

```ruby
rule = {
:name => "a string",
:age => 28,
:favorites => [ "a string" ],
:locations => [
{ :name => "string", :duration => 3 }
]
}

valid = {
:name => "Jack",
:age => 28,
:favorites => [ "sport", "music" ],
:locations => [
{ :name => "Taiwan", :duration => 25 },
{ :name => "US", :duration => 5 }
]
}

invalid = {
:name => [],
:age => "not a number",
:locations => [
{ :name => "Taiwan", :duration => 25 },
{ :name => 23 }
]
}

police = HashPolice::Police.new(rule)

result = police.check(valid)
result.passed? # => true
result.error_messages # => ""

result = police.check(invalid)
result.passed? # => false
result.error_messages #=> "`name`: expect String, got Array; `favorites`: missing; `locations.1.name`: expect String, got Array; `locations.1.duration`: missing"
```

## RSpec matcher:

`HashPolice` provides a RSpec matcher `have_the_same_hash_format_as` checking the formats of two hashes.

```ruby
require 'hash_police/rspec_matcher'

it "should be able to use the matcher `have_the_same_hash_format_as`" do
expected = { 'str' => '', 'an_arr' => [ 1 ] }
to_be_checked = { 'str' => 'hola', :an_arr => [1,3,4] }

expect(to_be_checked).to have_the_same_hash_format_as(expected)
end
```
