Advanced tools
Have you ever needed the ability to write a custom set of logic or set of rules for a particular customer? Or needed to be able to configure a piece of logic on the fly?
JSON Logic might be your solution! Designed with a lisp-like syntax, JSON Logic makes it easy to write safe instructions that can be persisted into a database, and shared between the front-end and back-end.
Check out our Documentation Here.
The engine supports both synchronous & asynchronous operations, and can use function compilation to keep your logic performant at scale.
Examples:
The premise is the logic engine traverses the document you pass in, and each "object" is interpreted as an instruction for the engine to run.
logic.run({
'+': [1,2,3,4,5]
}) // 15
If you wanted to start factoring variables, you can pass a data object into it, and reference them using the "var" instruction:
logic.run({
'+': [11, { var: 'a' }]
}, {
'a': 17
}) // 28
The engine will also allow you to reference variables that are several layers deep:
logic.run({
'+': [{ var: 'a.b.c' }, 5]
}, {
a: { b: { c: 7 } }
}) // 12
Let's explore some slightly more complex logic:
logic.run({
'reduce': [{ var: 'x' }, { '+': [{ var: 'current' }, { var: 'accumulator' }] }, 0]
}, {
'x': [1,2,3,4,5]
}) // 15
In this example, we run the reduce operation on a variable called "x", and we set up instructions to add the "current" value to the "accumulator", which we have set to 0.
Similarly, you can also do map
operations:
logic.run({
'map': [[1,2,3,4,5], { '+': [{ var: '' }, 1] }]
}) // [2,3,4,5,6]
If var
is left as an empty string, it will assume you're referring to the whole variable that is accessible at the current layer it is looking at.
Example of a map accessing variables of the objects in the array:
logic.run({
'map': [{var : 'x'}, { '+': [{ var: 'a' }, 1] }]
},
{
'x': [{ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }, { a: 3 }, { a: 4 }]
}) // [2,3,4,5]
You can easily nest different operations in each other, like so:
logic.run({
max: [200, {
'*': [12, {var: 'a' }]
}]
}, {
a: 16
}) // 200
The engine also supports Handlebars-esque style traversal of data when you use the iterative control structures.
For example:
logic.run({
'map': [{var : 'x'}, { '+': [{ var: 'a' }, { var: '../../adder'}] }]
},
{
'x': [{ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }, { a: 3 }, { a: 4 }],
'adder': 7
}) // [8, 9, 10, 11]
This library was developed to be (for the most part) a drop-in replacement for the popular npm module json-logic-js
.
The intention of the library is to keep the functionality very similar to the original, while adding a few useful utilities.
