Flowder PHPUnit is a PHPUnit Test Listener for integrating theFlowder fixture loader into PHPUnit test suites.

1. Install Flowder PHPUnit as a development dependency throughComposer

   $ composer install imjoehaines/flowder-phpunit --dev

2. Enable Flowder PHPUnit as a test listener in yourphpunit.xml file (PHPUnit documentation)

   <listeners>  <listenerclass="\Imjoehaines\Flowder\PhpUnit\FlowderListener"></listener></listeners>

3. Bootstrap Flowder PHPUnit by callingFlowderListener::bootsrap in your PHPUnitbootstrap.php file, passing in an instance of\Imjoehaines\Flowder\Flowder (see theFlowder documentation for more information).

   This is only necessary untilPHPUnit #1873 is fixed. After this, you can configure Flowder PHPUnit through yourphpunit.xml file instead.

   A simple SQLite example might look like this:

   <?phprequire__DIR__ .'/../vendor/autoload.php';useImjoehaines\Flowder\PhpUnit\FlowderListener;useImjoehaines\Flowder\Loader\PhpFileLoader;useImjoehaines\Flowder\Truncator\SqliteTruncator;useImjoehaines\Flowder\Persister\SqlitePersister;$db =newPDO(...);$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE,PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);FlowderListener::bootstrap(__DIR__ .'/_data/example.php',newPhpFileLoader(),newSqliteTruncator($db),newSqlitePersister($db));

4. That's it! Before any test file runs, Flowder will load your fixture data for you
