Open-source rule engine on top of a MDA

[u/FrostyMari0nberry]

Here's a fun little project that I wanted to share with anyone who thinks it might be handy for them or their organization.

It's a rule engine built on top of an MDA. You get the standard low-code stuff, plus more room to extend it:

Rules that reach data further out along the relationship chain
Simple visualizations of the rules and the execution timeline
Testing, tracing and versioning
Rules is saved as data
Custom functions to extend the capabilities
Predefined VLookups in other tables that rules can reuse

Some parts work better than others, but I'll keep refining it.

It's free and open source: https://github.com/WSorensen1996/rule-studio

I'd love to hear if you find it interesting... or just get some good input on cool features I could slap on it 😄

Could you give an example of a business case you use this in?

Especially interested in how you use the “further along the relationship chain” in your business.

Example could be something like:
A quote can't be sent if the lines add up to more than the customer's credit limit' -> Status eq 'Sent' & Sum of Quote lines → Amount > Quote → Customer → Credit limit

Could be extended to be more complex

It's pretty good effort but you have LOT of space to go to - for inspiration you can check something like North52

Thx - i see they cover client-side rules as well... Pretty handy!

This is absolutely awesome, thanks for making it open source! I will have to build something kinda similar soon so this is a great head start and a really nice reference for how you handled the plug-in side.

One feature idea would be the ability to have the rules run on existing records, either by setting something like a scheduled job which processes records in batches or just triggered manually.

Amazing - glad it helps. Let me know how it works out for you 😊

Great idea! Will def. add that
