Usage

Ruleset

Array of rules designed to process. Rules order has importance.

Rule

Rule has conditions and actions. Conditions are grouped in to logical groups: meet_all and meet_any.

Logical group Description
meet_all All conditions in group should match.
meet_any Any condition in group should match.
[
  {
    meet_all: [],
    meet_any: [
        {field: 'ticket_subject', operator: 'include', value: 'return'},
        {field: 'comment_content', operator: 'include', value: 'return'}
    ],
    actions: [
        {action_name: 'ticket_set_priority', value: '1'},
        {action_name: 'ticket_assign_group', value: '3'}
    ]
  }
]

Condition

Conditions has three attributes: :field, :operator, :value

Attribute Description
field Proper construction of field is prefix_ + method_name, when prefix is record's class_name. Example: ticket_subject, ticket_assignee_id, comment_content
operator [List of supported operators] (#supported-operations)
value -

Example condition:

{ field: 'ticket_replies', operator: 'greater_than', value: '6' }

Actions

Action has three attributes :action_name, :value.

Example action:

{ action_name: 'set_status', value: '2' }

How processor works

Public interface:

RulesProcessor::Processor.new(records: {ticket: ticket, comment: comment},
                              options: {},
                              ruleset: ruleset).process

Methods to compare

You can compare against any method which is defined in class of comparable record.

For example if you want to set condition:

{ field: 'ticket_replies', operator: 'greater_than', value: '6' }

Just create method on your record class:

def replies
  replies.size
end

Supported operations

Operator Description
is Equality comparison for string and integers
is_not Equality comparison for string and integers
include Contains at least one of words
not_include Contains none of the words
less_than Compare integers
less_than_equal Compare integers
greater_than Compare integers
greater_than_equal Compare integers

Operators to options for select

There are three groups of operators:

Group Operators
base is, is_not
includable include, not_include
comparable less_than, less_than_equal, greater_than, greater_than_equal

There is a module which returns predefined operators sets.

You can use it in such way:

operators = RulesProcessor::OperatorsToSelect

def ticket_subject_options
  operators.base + operators.includable
end
