Export to CacheControl/json-rules-engine #958

|
Is it possible to export the query to a format suitable for https://github.com/CacheControl/json-rules-engine? IDK if that makes a ton of sense but we are using json-rules-engine in our backend already and are looking at viable/advanced rule builders for our frontend. Obviously the developer would have to make sure that the necessary facts are loaded into the rule engine. That would be amazing. |

Not yet, but definitely soon! I'm working on a "rules engine" extension to RQB (see below) that will manage a structure similar to |

Not really. RQB manages queries—analogous to the There's currently no mechanism for handling a logical cascade like a rules engine, which is more like a full-blown if/else-if/else sequence of antecedents. There's also currently no accommodation for the "then" part—the resulting action or data when a condition is met (aka the consequent). That's what the extension package will add: the antecedent/consequent cascade. |

Ok thanks a lot. We are now looking more into our options. Looks like we don't really need that more complicated rule building - a query builder is enough. However exporting/importing to json-rules-engine is what we need but we only found this "middleware" package we could use: https://github.com/alexberriman/json-rules-engine-to-json-logic |

Not yet, but definitely soon! I'm working on a "rules engine" extension to RQB (see below) that will manage a structure similar to
json-rules-engine. It will be based more on RQB's existingRuleGroupType, but the translation should be fairly straightforward. The new extension will have aformatQueryequivalent (probablyformatRulesEngine) providing an option to export asjson-rules-enginecondition/event objects.
