deeply is a package that provides stub filtering algorithms, which is used in bavix/gripmock.
Stub filtering algorithms is a technique used to filter stubs based on expectations. It is a powerful tool for testing and development.
These algorithms are written in a form of a function that takes an expectation and an actual value and returns a boolean result.
In a nutshell, Matches checks if the actual value matches the expectation, Contains checks if the actual value contains the expectation, ContainsIgnoreArrayOrder checks if the actual value contains the expectation ignoring the order of elements in arrays, and MatchesIgnoreArrayOrder checks if the actual value matches the expectation ignoring the order of elements in arrays.
Furthermore, deeply provides methods Equals and EqualsIgnoreArrayOrder that checks if the expected and actual values are deeply equal. The Equals method checks if the expected and actual values are deeply equal and ignores the order of arrays, while the EqualsIgnoreArrayOrder method checks if the expected and actual values are deeply equal ignoring the order of arrays.
Both Equals and EqualsIgnoreArrayOrder methods return true if any of the following conditions are met:
- The expected and actual values are both maps and have the same number of keys.
- The expected and actual values are both slices and have the same length.
- The expected and actual values are deeply equal using reflect.DeepEqual.
