Codeception\Util\JsonType

JsonType matches JSON structures against templates. You can specify the type of fields in JSON or add additional validation rules.

JsonType is used by REST module in seeResponseMatchesJsonType and dontSeeResponseMatchesJsonType methods.

Usage example:

<?php
$jsonType = new JsonType(['name' => 'davert', 'id' => 1, 'data' => []]);
$jsonType->matches([
 'name' => 'string:!empty',
 'id' => 'integer:>0|string:>0',
 'data' => 'array:empty',
]); // => true
$jsonType->matches([
 'id' => 'string',
]); // => `id: 1` is not of type string

 return strpos(' ', $value) !== false;
});
// => use it as 'string:slug'
// add custom function to matcher with `len($val)` syntax
// parameter matching patterns should be valid regex and start with `/` char
JsonType::addCustomFilter('/len\((.*?)\)/', function($value, $len) {
 return strlen($value) == $len;
});
// use it as 'string:len(5)'
