go-ruler

json-y object testing in go

Installation

go get github.com/hopkinsth/go-ruler

Introduction

go-ruler is an implementaion of ruler in go, partly as an experiment, eventually as an optimization strategy. go-ruler supports programmatically constructing rules in a way similar to js-ruler and can also process rules stored in arrays of JSON objects with this structure:

{
  "comparator": "eq",
  "path": "library.name",
  "value": "go-ruler"
}

Each of those objects (or 'filters') describes a condition for a property on some JSON object or json-object-esque structure. (In this go implementation, we're using map[string]interface{}.)

Example

package main

import "github.com/hopkinsth/go-ruler"
import "fmt"

func main() {
  rules := []byte(`[
    {"comparator": "eq", "path": "library.name", "value": "go-ruler"},
    {"comparator": "gt", "path": "library.age", "value": 0.5}
  ]`)

  // supports loading rules from JSON data
  engine, _ := ruler.NewRulerWithJson(rules)

  // can also build rules programmatically
  engine = ruler.NewRuler()
  engine.Rule("library.name").
    Eq("go-ruler").
    End().
  Rule("library.age").
    Gt(0.5)

  result := engine.Test(map[string]interface{}{
    "library": map[string]interface{}{
      "name": "go-ruler",
      "age":  1.24,
    },
  })

  fmt.Println(result == true)
}
