Undecided

A safe way to evaluate a string boolean expression to make a decision

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'undecided'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install undecided

Usage

Initialize a decider instance

decider = Undecided::Decider.new

Call decide method passing an string as a boolean expression and a hash with values (values must be boolean type or (1 or 0)

expression = 'A&B'
values = { A:1, B:1 }
decider.decide(expression, values)
# Return true cuz A&B means that (A==true & B==true)

ATM the available operators are:

  • & = AND
  • | = OR
  • ! = NOT
  • () = Grouper

Imagine you have a todo list

todo_a = {
			A:false,
			B:false,
			C:false
		 }
 # A,B and C are tasks
 # False means that task is incomplete

And you have a second todo list but, to start it, some conditions have to be fulfilled. i.e you have finished A and C or A and B. so

# Start todo_b if 
 
# common way

if todo_a[:A] == true & todo_a[:C] == true ||  todo_a[:A] == true and todo_a[:c]==true
  # start new todo list
end

# VS

decider = Undecided::decider.new

if decider.decide('A&B|A&C', todo_a)
  # start a new todo list
end

You can also evaluate more complex expression i.e

rule = 'A&B&!C|(!C|!A)|D&F'
values = { A: 1, B: 1, C: 0, D: 0, F: 0 }

decider = Undecided::Decider.new
decider.decide(rule, values) #Return true

'A&B&!C|(!C|!A)|D&F'

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
