FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Specter Build Status Code Climate Test Coverage

Mocking and Testing for PHP Use a single JSON file to generate mock data and as an integration test assertion

Modern development is complicated. This project decouples front end and back end development by providing fixture data and a testing spec with a single file.

  1. Client and Server teams build a JSON spec file together
  2. Mock the endpoint, and have it return that spec file and add the Specter Middleware to convert that spec file into a response filled with random, but sane, data
  3. The client team can begin development with this endpoint, and iterate over any changes with the JSON spec. The endpoint delivers real data, and they can set a SpecterSeed header to get repeatable results.
  4. The server team can then implement the actual endpoint to meet that spec at their own pace, perhaps in the next sprint. They can use the same spec file to drive an PHPUnit integration test by handing the spec file to the SpecterTestTrait

This lets the teams rapidly create an endpoint specification together, the front end team uses the data from it, and the platform team tests with it.

Installation

This is available through composer as helpscout/specter-php.

Contributing

  1. git clone
  2. composer install
  3. It will prompt you to please install our commit hooks driven by pre-commit.

Demonstration

Work together among your development teams to spec a new endpoint and create a Specter JSON file that defines your new endpoint. This is a Specter JSON file:

Add a route to return it and use SpecterMiddleware to process it:

Receive random data from your endpoint that fulfills the JSON and use it to build out your interface:

Write a unit test for the endpoint to confirm that it's meeting the spec, and then implement the endpoint for real:

Custom Formatters

In addition to the Faker library, Specter provides a few other fomatters that offer some useful mocking.
