Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

About

FEEL is an expression language based on DMN specification conformance level 3. Written using PEG.js - JavaScript Parser Generator. FEEL is a very powerful language built with the purpose of defining rules in Business Rule Engines. FEEL also offers an API to implement and execute Decision Table defined in excel (.xlsx)

Getting Started

FEEL is a completely flexible library which can be used with any project to add support for Decision Table. It also comes with a powerful expression language termed FEEL built-in to define a multitude of decision rules.

Installation

Development

# npm install
npm install js-feel --save

Contribution

# clone repo
git clone https://github.com/EdgeVerve/feel.git

# or fork repo

# install dependencies
npm install

# run test cases
npm test

# watch for changes in source and grammar
gulp watch

# generate parser from grammar
gulp generate

# lint source files
npm run lint

# lint-fix source files
npm run lintfix

Usage

Using Decision Table

Decision tables are defined in excel (.xlsx). Please check Sample Rules. Each cell in the body of the decision table has to be a valid FEEL expression. The following make use of FEEL parser to parse and execute expressions and hence the decision logic.

Excel to Decision Table

const { decisionTable } = require('feel')();

const csv = decisionTable.xls_to_csv('./test/StudentFinancialPackageEligibility.xlsx');
const decision_table = decisionTable.csv_to_decision_table(csv[0]);

Execute Decision Table

The Decision Table (decision_table) created in the previous step can be executed using; decisionTable.execute_decision_table


const payload = {"Student GPA" : 3.6,"Student Extra-Curricular Activities Count" : 4,"Student National Honor Society Membership" : "Yes"};
decisionTable.execute_decision_table("StudentFinancialPackageEligibility", decision_table,payload, (results)=> {
    console.log(results)
});

Using FEEL Standalone

const {feel} = require('feel')();

const rule = 'a + b - c';
const context = {
    a: 10,
    b: 20,
    c: 5
};

const parsedGrammar = feel.parse(rule);
parsedGrammar.build(context).then(result => {
    console.log(result);
}).catch(err => console.error(err));

Sample FEEL Expressions

Some valid FEEL expressions (logically categorized):

Arithmetic

  • a + b - c
  • ((a + b)/c - (d + e*2))**f
  • 1-(1+rate/12)**-term
  • (a + b)**-c
  • date("2012-12-25") + date("2012-12-24")
  • time("T13:10:06") - time("T13:10:05")
  • date and time("2012-12-24T23:59:00") + duration("P1Y")

Comparision

  • 5 in (<= 5)
  • 5 in ((5..10])
  • 5 in ([5..10])
  • 5 in (4,5,6)
  • 5 in (<5,>5)
  • (a + 5) >= (7 + g)
  • (a+b) between (c + d) and (e - f)
  • date("2012-12-25") > date("2012-12-24")
  • date and time("2012-12-24T23:59:00") < date and time("2012-12-25T00:00:00")

Conjunction

  • a or b
  • a and b
  • ((a or b) and (b or c)) or (a and d)
  • ((a > b) and (a > c)) and (b > c)
  • ((a + b) > (c - d)) and (a > b)
  • a or b or a > b
  • (x(i, j) = y) and (a > b)
  • (a + b) > (c - d) and (a > b)

For

  • for a in [1,2,3] return a * a
  • for age in [18..40], name in ["george", "mike", "bob"] return status

Function Definition

  • function(age) age < 21
  • function(rate, term, amount) (amount*rate/12)/(1-(1+rate/12)**-term)

If

  • if applicant.maritalStatus in ("M", "S") then "valid" else "not valid"
  • if Pre-Bureau Risk Category = "DECLINE" or Installment Affordable = false or Age < 18 or Monthly Income < 100 then "INELIGIBLE" else "ELIGIBLE"
  • if "Pre-Bureau Risk Category" = "DECLINE" or "Installment Affordable" = false or Age < 18 or "Monthly Income" < 100 then "INELIGIBLE" else "ELIGIBLE"

Quantified

  • some ch in credit history satisfies ch.event = "bankruptcy"

Date Time Semantics

  • time("13:10:05@Etc/UTC").hour
  • time("13:10:05@Etc/UTC").minute
  • time("13:01:05+05:30").second
  • date and time("2012-12-24T23:59:00").year
  • date("2017-06-10").month
  • date("2017-06-10").day
  • duration("P13M").years
  • duration("P1Y11M").months
  • duration("P5DT12H10M").days
  • duration("P5DT12H10M").hours
  • duration("P5DT12H10M").minutes
  • duration("P5DT12H10M25S").seconds

Date Time Conversion and Equality

  • date("2012-12-25") – date("2012-12-24") = duration("P1D")
  • date and time("2012-12-24T23:59:00") + duration("PT1M") = date and time("2012-12-25T00:00:00")
  • time("23:59:00z") + duration("PT2M") = time("00:01:00@Etc/UTC")
  • date and time("2012-12-24T23:59:00") - date and time("2012-12-22T03:45:00") = duration("P2DT20H14M")
  • duration("P2Y2M") = duration("P26M")
