RuleScribe (Typescript rule engine)

RuleScribe is a lightweight and powerful rule engine for JavaScript and TypeScript applications. It allows you to define and execute business rules in a declarative manner, enabling agile decision-making and automation of complex logic.

Installation

You can install RuleScribe via npm:

npm install rulescribe

Usage

Define a Simple Rule

To define a simple rule using RuleScribe, follow these steps:

  1. Import the required modules:

    import { Engine, Lexer, EngineScope } from "rulescribe";
  2. Define the structure of the entity for which you're defining rules. For example, let's define a Patient type:

    type Patient = {
        name: string;
        lastVisit: number;
    }
  3. Define a method to perform an action based on the rule. For example, let's define a method to send a checkup reminder SMS to a patient:

    const sendCheckupReminderSMS = (patient: Patient) => {
        // Your business logic to send SMS goes here.
    }
  4. Write the rule:

    const rule = `
    Rule "My First Rule"
    When patient.lastVisit > 90
    Then
        sendCheckupReminderSMS(patient)
    End
    `
  5. Set up the RuleScribe engine and execute the rule:

    const scope = new EngineScope();
    scope.builtinFunction.set("sendCheckupReminderSMS", {
        func:  sendCheckupReminderSMS
    });
    
    const lexer = new Lexer(rule, scope);
    const engine = new Engine(lexer);
    
    // Define the patient
    scope.define('patient', { name: "John Doe", lastVisit: 100 });
    
    // Parse and execute the rule
    await engine.parse(scope);
    await engine.fire(scope);

This code will execute the rule "My First Rule" and send a checkup reminder SMS to the patient if their last visit was more than 90 days ago.
