Usage

// ./examples/rules.ts

const exampleContext: RuleContext<Input, Output> = {

// Using all() applies all the rules to the context
const allResult = all(

console.log(allResult.output); // AllResult.output = [{ result: 7 }, { result: 10 }]

// Using firstMatch() applies the first the rules to the context
const firstMatchResult = firstMatch(

console.log(firstMatchResult.output); // [{ result: 7 }]
