You will need ruby or the standalone mock service to run these examples.

$ gem install pact-mock_service

Assumptions based on experience with pacts so for:

• The most common type of matching that is useful is asserting that:
  • The expected keys are present
  • The values at the actual keys are of the same class (string/number/nil) as the expected values
  • Occasionally we'll want a literal match
  • Occasionally we'll want a regular expresssion
  • Extra keys in a hash are OK for responses but not for requests (following the "be strict with what you send out, be lax with what you accept" principle)
  • Extra items in an array are debatable (extra keys in a hash are generally ignored, however, all items in an array are generally processed, so allowing "unverified" extras to sneak in could be a bad thing. Working out what to do with "extras" is not immediately obvious to me however.)

# Notes:
# Headers and status would still be value based matching
# Default to type based matching???

# like(xxx) means xxx and all children would be matched using type based matching
# literal(xxx) means xxx and all children would be matched using exact value matching
# eg(generate, matcher) would be a regular expression match
# each_like([]) would indicate the each element in the array should be like the example given
# A like() could be nested inside a literal() which could be nested inside a like() - at each stage, 
# it changes the matching type for all children until it gets switched back.
