Logica
Logica is a reusable implementation of the Specification design pattern, or a framework to manage predicates of arbitrary complexity.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'logica'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install logica
Usage
Here is a simple example:
class IsEven < Logica::Predicates::Base
def satisfied_by?(number)
number.even?
end
end
class IsGreaterThan < Logica::Predicates::Base
attr_reader :threshold
def initialize(threshold)
@threshold = threshold
end
def satisfied_by?(number)
number > threshold
end
end
is_even = IsEven.new
is_even.satisfied_by?(1) # false
is_even.satisfied_by?(2) # true
is_even.negated.satisfied_by?(3) # true
is_even.negated.satisfied_by?(4) # false
is_greater_than_five = IsGreaterThan.new(5)
is_greater_than_five.satisfied_by?(5) # false
is_greater_than_five.satisfied_by?(6) # true
is_even.and(is_greater_than_five).satisfied_by?(6) # true
is_even.and(is_greater_than_five).satisfied_by?(7) # false
is_even.or(is_greater_than_five).satisfied_by?(8) # true
is_even.or(is_greater_than_five).satisfied_by?(9) # true
More examples that show many more features can be found in the test files.
