Introduction

This package was created with inspiration from Thomas' go-ruler to run a simple set of rules against an entity.

This version includes a couple more features including, AND and OR composites and the ability to add custom comparators.

Note: This package only compares two types: string and float64, this plays nicely with encoding/json.

Example

// Create a new instance of an engine with some default comparators
e, err := NewJSONEngine(json.RawMessage(`{"composites":[{"operator":"or","rules":[{"comparator":"always-false","path":"user.name","value":"Trevor"},{"comparator":"eq","path":"user.name","value":"Trevor"}]}]}`))
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

// Add a new, custom comparator
e = e.AddComparator("always-false", func(a, b interface{}) bool {
    return false
})

// Give some properties, this map can be deeper and supports interfaces
props := map[string]interface{}{
    "user": map[string]interface{}{
        "name": "Trevor",
    }
}

// Run the engine on the props
res := e.Evaluate(props)
// res == true

Comparators

  • eq will return true if a == b
  • neq will return true if a != b
  • lt will return true if a < b
  • lte will return true if a <= b
  • gt will return true if a > b
  • gte will return true if a >= b
  • contains will return true if a contains b
  • ncontains will return true if a does not contain b
  • oneof will return true if a is one of b
  • noneof will return true if a is not one of b
  • regex will return true if a matches b

contains and ncontains work for substring comparisons as well as item-in-collection comparisons.

When used for item-in-collection comparisons, contains expects the first argument to be a slice. contains is different than oneof in that oneof expects the second argument to be a slice.
