# Mocks

Declare mocks inside `Codeception\Test\Unit` class.
If you want to use mocks outside it, check the reference for [Codeception/Stub](https://github.com/Codeception/Stub) library.      


#### *public* make($class, $params = null) 
Instantiates a class without executing a constructor.
Properties and methods can be set as a second parameter.
Even protected and private properties can be set.

``` php
<?php
$this->make('User');
$this->make('User', ['name' => 'davert']);
?>
```

Accepts either name of class or object of that class

``` php
<?php
$this->make(new User, ['name' => 'davert']);
?>
```

To replace method provide it's name as a key in second parameter
and it's return value or callback function as parameter

``` php
<?php
$this->make('User', ['save' => function () { return true; }]);
$this->make('User', ['save' => true]);
```

     'save' => \Codeception\Stub\Expected::once()
]);

#### *public static* never($params = null) 
Checks if a method never has been invoked

If method invoked, it will immediately throw an
exception.

```php
<?php
use \Codeception\Stub\Expected;

$user = $this->make('User', [
     'getName' => Expected::never(),
     'someMethod' => function() {}
]);
$user->someMethod();
?>
```

 * `param mixed` $params
@return StubMarshaler

#### *public static* once($params = null) 
Checks if a method has been invoked exactly one
time.

If the number is less or greater it will later be checked in verify() and also throw an
exception.

```php
<?php
use \Codeception\Stub\Expected;

$user = $this->make(
    'User',
    array(
        'getName' => Expected::once('Davert'),
        'someMethod' => function() {}
    )
);
$userName = $user->getName();
$this->assertEquals('Davert', $userName);
?>
```
Alternatively, a function can be passed as parameter:

```php
<?php
Expected::once(function() { return Faker::name(); });
```

 * `param mixed` $params

@return StubMarshaler

#### *public static* atLeastOnce($params = null) 
Checks if a method has been invoked at least one
time.

If the number of invocations is 0 it will throw an exception in verify.

```php
<?php
use \Codeception\Stub\Expected;

$user = $this->make(
    'User',
    array(
        'getName' => Expected::atLeastOnce('Davert')),
        'someMethod' => function() {}
    )
);
$user->getName();
$userName = $user->getName();
$this->assertEquals('Davert', $userName);
?>
```

Alternatively, a function can be passed as parameter:

```php
<?php
Expected::atLeastOnce(function() { return Faker::name(); });
```

 * `param mixed` $params

@return StubMarshaler

#### *public static* exactly($count, $params = null) 
Checks if a method has been invoked a certain amount
of times.
If the number of invocations exceeds the value it will immediately throw an
exception,
If the number is less it will later be checked in verify() and also throw an
exception.

``` php
<?php
use \Codeception\Stub;
use \Codeception\Stub\Expected;

$user = $this->make(
    'User',
    array(
        'getName' => Expected::exactly(3, 'Davert'),
        'someMethod' => function() {}
    )
);
$user->getName();
$user->getName();
$userName = $user->getName();
$this->assertEquals('Davert', $userName);
?>
```
Alternatively, a function can be passed as parameter:

```php
<?php
Expected::exactly(function() { return Faker::name() });
```

 * `param int` $count
 * `param mixed` $params

@return StubMarshaler
