An implementation of Hamcrest to take advantage of Kotlin language features.
Note: as of version 1.4.0.0, you must add kotlin-reflect to the classpath to use Hamkrest's reflective features.
Add Hamkrest as a dependency of your project. Hamkrest is distributed via Maven Central.
Import matchers from com.natpryce.hamkrest. E.g. a quick way to get started is to import com.natpryce.hamkrest.* and then use IntelliJ to optimise imports when you're done.
If you're using Hamkrest for assertions, import com.natpryce.hamkrest.assertion.assertThat
Now you can make assertions about values using matchers:
assertThat(thisName, equalTo("Alice"))
assertThat(thatName, equalTo("Bob"))... and so forth
