# Namarara
Namarara is a library that parses boolean expressions, builds an [binary
expression tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_expression_tree).
Namare can also evalutes a result from a set of values corresponding the
variables used within the boolean expression.
2. binary expression
and computes a boolean result from this AST.
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'namarara'
```
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install namarara
## Usage
### Evaluate a single expression
```
# Initialize Namarara
namarara = Namarara::Parser.new(Namarara::Lexer.new)
# Build the binary expression tree (BET)
namarara_bet = namarara.parse('this AND (that OR other) AND something_else')
# Prepare variables
variables = {
this: true,
that: false,
other: false,
something_else: true
}
# Compute tree with variables
result = namarara_bet.compute(variables)
```
### Evaluating a set of rules
```ruby
# Initialize Namarara
namarara = Namarara::Parser.new(Namarara::Lexer.new)
# A set of rules i want to check
rules = [
{name: 'vulnerable_person', expr: 'is_adult AND is_subordinate'},
{name: 'has_constraints', expr: 'is_adult AND has_children' },
{name: 'is_child', expr: 'NOT is_adult'}
# ...
]
# A set of values i want to inject (values can come from HTTP or from database
# as long as they are expressed as strings)
namarara.names = {
"is_adult" => 'false',
"is_subordinate" => 'true',
"has_children" => 'true'
}
rules.map do |rule|
namarara_bet = namarara.parse(rule)
result = namarara_bet.compute
if result then
warnings << "Rule #{rule} is true"
end
end
if not warnings.empty?
puts "Attention: vous collectez des DCP de personnes vulnerables"
puts warnings.join("\n")
else
puts "Rien à dire :-)"
end
```
