Memio's SpecGen

This extension for phpspec provides a powerfull code generator:

• it typehints object, array and callable arguments
• it names object arguments after their type
• it names scalar arguments after a generic name (argument)
• it adds number on names that could collide (e.g. $argument1, $argument2)

Installation

First install it using Composer:

composer require --dev memio/spec-gen:~0.1

Then enable it in phpspec.yml:

extensions:
  - Memio\SpecGen\MemioSpecGenExtension

Full example

Let's write the following specification:

<?php

namespace spec\Vendor\Project;

use PhpSpec\ObjectBehavior;
use Vendor\Project\Message\Request;

class RequestHandlerSpec extends ObjectBehavior
{
    const MASTER_REQUEST = 1;
    const CATCH_EXCEPTIONS = true;

    function it_catches_exceptions_from_master_request(Request $request)
    {
        $this->handle($request, self::MASTER_REQUEST, self::CATCH_EXCEPTIONS);
    }
}

Running the tests (phpspec run) will generate the following class:

<?php

namespace Vendor\Project;

use Vendor\Project\Message\Request;

class RequestHandler
{
    public function handle(Request $request, $argument1, $argument2)
    {
    }
}

Now we can start naming those generic arguments, and write the code.
