# Introduction

This package was created with inspiration from Thomas' [go-ruler](https://github.com/hopkinsth/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

```go
// 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.
