RSpec::CollectionMatchers lets you express expected outcomes on collections
of an object in an example.
expect(account.shopping_cart).to have_exactly(3).items
## Install
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'rspec-collection_matchers'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install rspec-collection_matchers
## Basic usage
First of all, you need to require rspec-collection matchers. Add the following line to your `spec_helper.rb`:
```ruby
require 'rspec/collection_matchers'
```
Using `rspec-collection_matchers` you can match the number of items in a
collection directly, e.g.:
```ruby
it 'matches number of items in a collection' do
expect([1,2,3]).to have_at_least(3).items
end
```
You can also match the number of items returned by a method on an object, e.g.:
```ruby
class Cart
def initialize(*products)
@products = products
end
attr_reader :products
end
it 'matches number of items returned from a method' do
cart = Cart.new('product a', 'product b')
expect(cart).to have_at_most(2).products
end
```
The last line of the example expresses an expected outcome:
if `cart.products.size <= 2` then the example passes, otherwise it fails with a message like:
expected at most 2 products, got 3
## Available matchers
```ruby
expect(collection).to have(n).items
expect(collection).to have_exactly(n).items
expect(collection).to have_at_most(n).items
expect(collection).to have_at_least(n).items
```
