DCC Business Rules Utilities

Version: 0.4.1

This NPM package contains a number of useful “things” for working with EU DCC business rules conforming to the EU DCC Validation Rules specification (link to PDF). These things are:

• A TypeScript type for a rule: Rule.
• A normalCopyOf function to make a copy of a Rule object with fields in a normalised key order.
• A validateRule function that validates a rule against the JSON Schema, as well as against a number of other constraints (most of which are also checked for by the EU DCC Gateway).
• A hasRulesForAllEventTypes function that checks for a set of rules (from one country) whether it covers all DCC event types (recovery, test, vaccination). That's useful for the following: not having rules for a particular event type is not the same as not accepting any DCC of that missing event type. In other words: you need to have explicit rules to yield false on a DCC having an event type you don't want to accept. Note: this function only looks at the rules' stated value of CertificateType, regardless of whether that value matches the actual Logic.
• A parseRuleId function to parse a (valid) rule ID (in field Identifier of a Rule) into its constituent parts. That's useful to perform queries on collections of (versions of) rules.
• A type ValidationParameters, and a function validateDcc to -you guessed it!- be able to validate a DCC. The underlying selection logic is available through the applicableRuleVersions function.
• Types ValueSets, CompressedValueSets, and a function compressValueSets to transform value sets coming from the EU DCC Gateway into the format necessary by the validateDcc function.

Development

Building the JavaScript bundle is done by running the build script as follows:

$ ./build.sh

The bundle is then located in dist/. The build script also checks for circular dependencies, and should exit with error code 1 in case of a circular dependency in the transpiled source.
