Predicator

Predicator is a safe (does not eval code), admin or business user facing predicate engine. It turns a string predicate like "score > 600 or (score > 580 and monthly_income > 9000)" along with a supplied context into a true or false. This predicate can be stored as an attribute of a model (ex: an Offer model could store a predicate indicating if it is available to a customer).

Usage

Simple usage:

const Predicator = require('predicator');

// Compile a list of instructions which a Predicator Evaluator can execute

Predicator.compile('score >= 600 or (score > 580 and income > 9000)');

//  [
//    [ 'load', 'score' ],
//    [ 'to_int' ],
//    [ 'lit', 600 ],
//    [ 'compare', 'GTE' ],
//    [ 'jtrue', 11 ],
//    [ 'load', 'score' ],
//    [ 'to_int' ],
//    [ 'lit', 580 ],
//    [ 'compare', 'GT' ],
//    [ 'jfalse', 5 ],
//    [ 'load', 'income' ],
//    [ 'to_int' ],
//    [ 'lit', 9000 ],
//    [ 'compare', 'GT' ]
//  ]


// Evaluation

Predicator.evaluate('score >= 600 or (score > 580 and income > 9000)', {score: 600}); // true

Predicator.evaluate('score >= 600 or (score > 580 and income > 9000)', {score: 590}); // false

Predicator.evaluate('score >= 600 or (score > 580 and income > 9000)', {score: 590, income: 10000}); // true
