Description: # robotframeworkNL - the oneliner
        robotframeworkNL is a proving ground to boost Robot framework closer to Natural Language.
        
        ## Introduction
        This project is an extension to [Robot framework](https://robotframework.org/) and although [Robot framework](https://robotframework.org/) made a very good step towards the goals of [keyword-driven testing ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyword-driven_testing) to make it readable for all stakeholders, there is still quite a lot of syntax involved that keeps test cases from really staying concise and to-the-point. In this project we will be introducing concepts to lift [Robot framework](https://robotframework.org/) to an even higher level.
        
        This first release introduces ``Check that`` keywords that help to vastly reduce the amount of ``${...}`` cluttering in your test cases.

        |---|---|---|---|---|---|
        | ${calculation 1}= | Two times    | ${6} ||||
        | ${calculation 2}= | Three times  | ${4} ||||
        | Should be equal   | ${calculation 1} |  ${calculation 2} ||||
        |**into**||||||
        | Check that | Two times | 6 | equals | Three times | 4 |
        
        ## Installation
        The recommended installation method is using [pip](http://pip-installer.org)
        
            pip install --upgrade robotframework-nl
        
        After installation include `robotnl` as library in your robot file to get access to the new keywords.  
        
        ## Documentation
        [Link to keyword documentation](https://htmlpreview.github.io?https://github.com/JFoederer/robotframeworkNL/blob/main/robotnl-libdoc.html#Check%20That)
        
        Keyword documentation is in [libdoc](http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#libdoc) format, making it also directly available via intellisense in the better IDEs, like [RIDE](https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/wiki).
        
        ## Check that
        This first release focuses around the *Check that* keywords. Using these keywords offers a large reduction in the need for variables in your test case and ``less variables=less ${} syntax``! It also encourages the use of the [Dovich](#dovich) principle, which is an easy way to create maintainable keyword libraries.
        
        ## Dovich
        Dovich is short for Do-View-Check and the idea is simple, yet effective. Any keyword should have just one of these purposes, never more.
        - Do keywords invoke an action and typically do not return anything
        - View keyword make an observation and return this as a value. They typically do not change state.
        - Check keywords are use for verifying information, typically the result of a view-keyword and an expected value. This `robotnl` library offers generic [Check keywords](#check-that) and operators. You can build new operator keywords in your own libraries to support any check you will ever need.
