rules-engine

Proposed Design

The workflow should:
- Read Rules from app configuration
- Store Rules in Map
- Match Rules against incoming request parameters
This workflow diagram should be interactive where failed steps could be re-run to see the results of the rule evaluation etc. via the Camunda Platform UI.

Sample Rules defined in app configuration for a set of `features`

Each feature can be enabled or disabled
Each rule per feature can have attr, op, & values value/values list.
Rule Group logic for keys all & any not implemented - see #13 for intended / expected implementation details.

feature:
  new-checkout:
    enabled: true
    ruleGroups:
      all:
        - { attr: country, op: IN, values: [ "ES", "PT" ] }
        - { attr: appVersion, op: GTE, values: [ "120" ] }
      any:
        - { attr: tier, op: IN, values: [ "gold", "platinum" ] }

  search-v2:
    enabled: false

  beta-banner:
    enabled: true

  old-checkout:
    enabled: true
    ruleGroups:
      all:
        - { attr: country, op: IN, values: [ IRL ] }
      any:
        - { attr: tier, op: IN, values: [ gold, platinum ] }

Build & Run App

mvn clean install test spring-boot:run

Read Rules & Store in Map

http://localhost:8080/api/executetask

Sample API queries

If Match, Return list of rules returned with HTTP Status 200
else empty list & 400 Bad Request

Test End-Point GET Request

http://localhost:8080/api/test

Test End-Point Response

["IRE","ES"]

Rule Matcher

No Matches (see application yml)

http://localhost:8080/api/eval?feature=new-checkout&country=IE&appVersion=1&tier=2

2 Matches for feature, country, & app version rules

http://localhost:8080/api/eval?feature=new-checkout&country=PT&appVersion=120&tier=2

2 Matches for feature, country, & app version rules

http://localhost:8080/api/eval?feature=new-checkout&country=ES&appVersion=400&tier=2

1 Match for feature & country

http://localhost:8080/api/eval?feature=new-checkout&country=ES&appVersion=100&tier=2

2 Matches for feature, tier, & country

http://localhost:8080/api/eval?feature=old-checkout&country=IRL&appVersion=100&tier=gold

3 Matches for feature, country, app version, & tier

http://localhost:8080/api/eval?feature=new-checkout&country=PT&appVersion=140&tier=gold

No Matches → Feature Disabled (Bad Request -> HTTP Status Code 400)

http://localhost:8080/api/eval?feature=search-v2&country=PT&appVersion=140&tier=gold
