• Create Instance Of RulesEngine
• Useful Functions
  • addRule()
  • removeRule()
  • getResult()
  • print()
  • getRule()
  • getAllRules()
• variable
  • defaultResult

Create Instance Of RulesEngine

To use RulesEngine Library you require to create RulesEngine instance through that you can call it's functions.

• Example

  var RulesEngine = new RulesEngine();

Here 'RulesEngine' is instance through this you can Call RulesEngine functions.

addRule(rule,result)

This method is used to add rules into 'RulesEngine' Object.It returns index of current rule into 'RulesEngine' object

Parameter Name | Descriptions :------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------ rule | This contains array of JSON objects that defines rule result | This contains JSON objects that defines result with respect to given rule

• Attributes for rule and result Object

• Example

  RulesEngine.addRule([{field:"growth",filterType:"between",value:[26, 35]},
                        {field:"slope",filterType:"between",value:[26,35]}],
                          {'Color': '#1A9850','Comment': 'Between'});

  Here,rule is binded for

  1> growth is Between 26 to 35.

  2> slope is Between 26 to 35.

  with result 'Color'='#1A9850' and 'Comment'='Between'
