Properties

Setting a Single Property

You can set a properties when creating a mock using setProperty:

$mock = $this->niceMock('MyClass')
             ->setProperty('foo', 'bar')
             ->get();

$this->foo; // bar

Setting Multiple Properties

Setting multiple properties can be done with setProperties:

$mock = $this->niceMock('MyClass')
             ->setProperties([
                 'foo' => 'bar',
                 'bar' => 'baz',
             ])
             ->get();

$this->bar; // baz

When using setProperties it will add on the provided properties, not replace any previously set ones.

Other Information

Note: The property or properties are set after all other aspects of the mock have been setup. This means properties that may be set as part of a partial mock will be overridden by the properties provided.

This feature was introduced in Multiverse (Release v1.7.0).
