Mocking Protected Methods
=========================

By default, Mockery does not allow mocking protected methods. We do not recommend
mocking protected methods, but there are cases when there is no other solution.

For those cases we have the ``shouldAllowMockingProtectedMethods()`` method. It
instructs Mockery to specifically allow mocking of protected methods, for that
one class only:

.. code-block:: php

    class MyClass
    {
        protected function foo()
        {
        }
    }

    $mock = \Mockery::mock('MyClass')
        ->shouldAllowMockingProtectedMethods();
    $mock->shouldReceive('foo');

Best Practices

To ensure a smooth integration process and optimal performance, follow these best practices:

  1. Use secure HTTPS connections for all API requests.
  2. Implement robust error handling to handle potential issues gracefully.
  3. Regularly update your integration to stay current with any API changes or enhancements.
