# Mocking WordPress Hooks

The [hooks and filters of the WordPress Plugin API](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API) are common (and preferred) entry points for third-party scripts, and WP\_Mock makes it easy to test that these are being registered and executed within your code.

## Ensuring actions and filters are registered

Rather than attempting to mock `add_action()` or `add_filter()`, WP\_Mock has built-in support for both of these functions: instead, use `WP_Mock::expectActionAdded()` and `WP_Mock::expectFilterAdded()`, respectively.

In the following example, our expectations will fail if the `MyClass::addHooks()` method do not call `add_action('save_post', [$this, 'myActionCallback'], 10, 2 )` _and_ `add_action('the_content', [$this, 'myFilterCallback'])`:

```php
use MyPlugin\MyClass;
use WP_Mock\Tools\TestCase as TestCase;

final class MyClassTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testHookExpectations() : void 
    {
        $classInstance = new MyClass();
    
        WP_Mock::expectActionAdded('save_post', [$classInstance, 'myActionCallback'], 10, 2);
        WP_Mock::expectFilterAdded('the_content', [$classInstance, 'myFilterCallback']);
    
        $classInstance->addHooks();
    }
}
```

It's important to note that the `$priority` and `$parameter_count` arguments (parameters 3 and 4 for both `add_action()` and `add_filter()`) are significant. If in our example our code used a different priority or a different number of arguments when setting the callbacks, the test would have failed.

If the actual instance of an expected class cannot be passed, `AnyInstance` can be used:

```php
WP_Mock::expectFilterAdded('the_content', [new \WP_Mock\Matcher\AnyInstance(Special::class), 'the_content']);
```

## Asserting that closures have been added as hook callbacks

Sometimes it's handy to add a [Closure](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/class.closure.php) as a WordPress hook instead of defining a function in the global namespace. To assert that such a hook has been added, you can perform assertions referencing the Closure class or a `callable` type:

```php
public function testAnonymousHookCallback() : void 
{
    WP_Mock::expectActionAdded('save_post', WP_Mock\Functions::type('callable'));
    WP_Mock::expectActionAdded('save_post', WP_Mock\Functions::type(Closure::class));
    WP_Mock::expectFilterAdded('the_content', WP_Mock\Functions::type('callable'));
    WP_Mock::expectFilterAdded('the_content', WP_Mock\Functions::type(Closure::class));
}
```

## Asserting that actions and filters are applied

Now that we're testing if we are adding actions and/or filters, the next step is to ensure our code is calling those hooks when expected.

For actions, we'll want to listen for `do_action()` to be called for our action name, so we'll use `WP_Mock::expectAction()`:

```php
public function testActionCallingFunction() : void
{
    WP_Mock::expectAction('my_action');

    MyClass::myMethod();
}
```

This test will fail if `MyClass::myMethod()` does not call `do_action('my_action')`. In situations where your code needs to trigger actions, this assertion makes sure the appropriate hooks are being triggered.

For filters, we can inject our own response to `apply_filters()` using `WP_Mock::onFilter()`.

Take the code below, for example:

```php
namespace MyPlugin;

class MyClass
{
    public function filterContent() : string
    {
        return apply_filters('custom_content_filter', 'This is unfiltered');
    }
}
```

We can test that the filter is being applied by using `WP_Mock::onFilter()`:

```php
use MyPlugin\MyClass;
use WP_Mock;
use WP_Mock\Tools\TestCase as TestCase;

final class MyClassTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testCanFilterContent() : void 
    {
        WP_Mock::onFilter('custom_content_filter')
            ->with('This is unfiltered')
            ->reply('This is filtered');

        $content = (new MyClass())->filterContent();

        $this->assertEquals('This is filtered', $content);
    }
}
```

We can also use the `withAnyArgs` method to test that the filter is being applied. This is particularly useful in test cases where we do not care about the arguments but just its return value. This can be done like so:

```php
use MyPlugin\MyClass;
use WP_Mock;
use WP_Mock\Tools\TestCase as TestCase;

final class MyClassTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testCanFilterContent() : void 
    {
        WP_Mock::onFilter('custom_content_filter')
            ->withAnyArgs()
            ->reply('This is filtered');

        $content = (new MyClass())->filterContent();

        $this->assertEquals('This is filtered', $content);
    }
}
```

Alternatively, there is a method `WP_Mock::expectFilter()` that will add a bare assertion that the filter will be applied without changing the value:

```php
namespace MyPlugin;

class MyClass
{
    public function filterContent() : string 
    {
        $value = apply_filters( 'custom_content_filter', 'Default' );

        if ($value === 'Default') {
            do_action('default_value');
        }

        return $value;
    }
}
```

And then the test:

```php
use MyPlugin\MyClass;
use WP_Mock;
use WP_Mock\Tools\TestCase as TestCase;

final class MyClassTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testCanFilterContent() : void
    {
        WP_Mock::expectFilter('custom_content_filter', 'Default');
        WP_Mock::expectAction('default_value');

        $this->assertEquals('Default', (new MyClass())->filterContent());
    }
}
```

## Asserting that an object has been passed

To assert that an object has been added as an argument, you can perform assertions referencing the object's class type.

Take the code below, for example:

```php
namespace MyPlugin;

class MyClass
{
    public function filterContent() : NewClass
    {
        return apply_filters('custom_content_filter', new NewClass());
    }
}

class NewClass
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        echo 'New Class';
    }
}
```

We can do this:

```php
use WP_Mock;
use WP_Mock\Tools\TestCase as TestCase;

use MyPlugin\MyClass;
use MyPlugin\NewClass;

final class MyClassTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testAnonymousObject() : void 
    {
        WP_Mock::expectFilter('custom_content_filter', WP_Mock\Functions::type(NewClass::class));

        $this->assertInstanceOf(NewClass::class, (new MyClass())->filterContent());
        $this->assertConditionsMet();
    }
}
```
