Usage

Built-in matchers

Equivalence matcher:

eql = Matchi::Eql.new('foo')
eql.matches? { 'foo' } # => true

Identity matcher:

equal = Matchi::Equal.new(:foo)
equal.matches? { :foo } # => true

Regular expressions matcher:

match = Matchi::Match.new(/^foo$/)
match.matches? { 'foo' } # => true

Expecting errors matcher:

raise_exception = Matchi::RaiseException.new(NameError)
raise_exception.matches? { Boom } # => true

Custom matchers

Custom matchers can easily be defined for expressing expectations.

Be the answer matcher:

module Matchi
  class BeTheAnswer
    def matches?
      42.equal? yield
    end
  end
end

be_the_answer = Matchi::BeTheAnswer.new
be_the_answer.matches? { 42 } # => true

Be prime matcher:

require 'prime'

module Matchi
  class BePrime
    def matches?
      Prime.prime? yield
    end
  end
end

be_prime = Matchi::BePrime.new
be_prime.matches? { 42 } # => false

Start with matcher:

module Matchi
  class StartWith
    def initialize expected
      @expected = expected
    end

    def matches?
      !Regexp.new("^#{@expected}").match(yield).nil?
    end
  end
end

start_with = Matchi::StartWith.new('foo')
start_with.matches? { 'foobar' } # => true
