PHP >= 5.3.9

This library contains efficient assertions to test the input and output of
your methods. With these assertions, you can greatly reduce the amount of coding
needed to write a safe implementation.

All assertions in the [`Assert`] class throw an `\InvalidArgumentException` if 
they fail.

FAQ
---

**What's the difference to [beberlei/assert]?**

This library is heavily inspired by Benjamin Eberlei's wonderful [assert package],
but fixes a usability issue with error messages that can't be fixed there without
breaking backwards compatibility.

This package features usable error messages by default. However, you can also 
easily write custom error messages:

```
Assert::string($path, 'The path is expected to be a string. Got: %s');
```

In [beberlei/assert], the ordering of the `%s` placeholders is different for 
every assertion. This package, on the contrary, provides consistent placeholder 
ordering for all assertions:

* `%s`: The tested value as string, e.g. `"/foo/bar"`.
* `%2$s`, `%3$s`, ...: Additional assertion-specific values, e.g. the
  minimum/maximum length, allowed values, etc.
  
Check the source code of the assertions to find out details about the additional
available placeholders.

Installation
------------

Use [Composer] to install the package:

```
$ composer require webmozart/assert
```

Example
-------

```php
use Webmozart\Assert\Assert;

class Employee
{
    public function __construct($id)
    {
        Assert::integer($id, 'The employee ID must be an integer. Got: %s');
        Assert::greaterThan($id, 0, 'The employee ID must be a positive integer. Got: %s');
    }
}
```

If you create an employee with an invalid ID, an exception is thrown:

```php
new Employee('foobar');
// => InvalidArgumentException: 
//    The employee ID must be an integer. Got: string

new Employee(-10);
// => InvalidArgumentException: 
//    The employee ID must be a positive integer. Got: -10
```
