js-rule-management

This project is designed to be a easy to understand and lightweight js module for rule management

What is a Rule?

A rule is a prescribed guideline or principle that governs behavior or actions in a particular context or system.

What is a Rule Management System?

A rule management system is responsible for running all the rule's scripts that is given to it and outputting if they error to a result array on the management object.

What is a Rule in the Context of this Program?

A rule has the following properties

• input - any data that you want to be inputted into the RunScript
• script - a function to be run by the rule management system

What is a Rule Script?

A script is a javascript function that can do anything a normal javascript function can. You can even pass data into the function via the input property of the rule object.

How do I know if a rule passed or failed?

any rule script that throws an error is considered a failed rule. any rule script that does not throw an error is considered a passing rule.

What will the rule management system do with failed rules

the rule management system will collect all the rules and display the results of all the rules in a results array.

What if I hand the rule management an object that is not a rule object

the rule management system will treat that object as in input into a function that looks like this ()=>{}

Example of how to use the rule manager

const ruleManager = new RuleManager()
const expected = new Rule()
ruleManager.push(expected)
ruleManager.runRules()
ruleManager.results

Stretch Goal

implement a way to name the rules and have a descriptions on them
