🔱 Conditions – A parser of a simple conditions specification language

This package offers a parser of a simple conditions specification language (reduced set of arithmetic/logical operations). The package is mainly created for Flow-Based Programming components that require configuration to perform some operations on the data received from multiple input ports. But it can be used wherever you need externally define some logical conditions on the internal variables.

• InfluxML package from InfluxDB repository

Usage example

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "strings"

    "github.com/julienbreux/conditions"
)

func main() {
    // Our condition to check
    s := `({foo} > 0.45) AND ({bar} == "ON" OR {baz} IN ["ACTIVE", "CLEAR"])`

    // Parse the condition language and get expression
    p := conditions.NewParser(strings.NewReader(s))
    expr, err := p.Parse()
    if err != nil {
        // ...
    }

    // Evaluate expression passing data for $vars
    data := map[string]interface{}{"foo": 0.12, "bar": "OFF", "baz": "ACTIVE"}
    r, err := conditions.Evaluate(expr, data)
    if err != nil {
        // ...
    }

    // r is false
    fmt.Println("Evaluation result:", r)
}

The main differences are

• Usage of go modules in go 1.15.
• Allow variables with . in name.
