StringArbitrary

Rasuvaeff\PropertyTesting\Arbitrary\StringArbitrary

Class — Package: property-testing-core — Source — Version: v0.1.0-12-g86ead85

Implements: ArbitraryInterface

Generates random strings and shrinks them by length toward the empty string, then character-by-character toward 'a'.

Two alphabets are available: an ASCII printable subset (32..126) and the full Unicode space via Arbitrary\mb_chr(). Length is chosen uniformly within an inclusive range.

Constructor

__construct(
    int $minLength = 0,
    int $maxLength = 100,
    bool $unicode = false,
)

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
$minLength	int	0
$maxLength	int	100
$unicode	bool	false	When true, characters are drawn from the full Unicode codepoint space (U+0001..U+10FFFF, excluding surrogates); otherwise ASCII printable.

Methods

generate()

generate(Random $random): Shrinkable

Produce one random value from this arbitrary's space, together with its shrink tree. Candidates must be ordered most aggressive first (typically toward a zero/empty/identity element) and every branch of the tree must be finite, so shrinking terminates.
