spec-pattern

Implementation of the Specification Pattern for JavaScript and TypeScript.

npm version Build Status Greenkeeper badge

Build complex filters and rules easily.

Install

$ npm install spec-pattern

Examples

A simple Between rule

import { Between } from 'spec-pattern';
 
let rules = new Between( 1, 3 );
 
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 2 ) ); // true

A little more complex Between rule

import { Between } from 'spec-pattern';
 
let rules = new Between( 1, 3 )
   .or( new Between( 6, 9 ) );
 
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 2 ) ); // true
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 7 ) ); // true
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 5 ) ); // false

Composing rules

import { Between, In, GreaterThan } from 'spec-pattern';
 
let rules = new Between( 1, 3 )
   .or( new Between( 6, 9 ) )
   .or( new In( [ 11, 25, 31 ] ) )
   .or( new GreaterThan( 50 ) );
 
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 2 ) ); // true
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 7 ) ); // true
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 5 ) ); // false
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 11 ) ); // true
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 50 ) ); // false
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 51 ) ); // true
 
// Printable !
console.log( rules.toString() );
// (((between (1, 3) or between (6, 9)) or in [11, 25, 31]) or greater than 50)

Not only numbers

import { StartsWith, Contains } from 'spec-pattern';
 
let rules = new StartsWith( 'Hello' )
    .andNot( new Contains( 'world' ) );
 
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 'Hello Bob' ) ); // true
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 'Hello world' ) ); // false
import { LengthBetween, EqualTo } from 'spec-pattern';
 
let rules = new LengthBetween( 2, 5 )
    .andNot( new EqualTo( 'Hello' ) );
 
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( '' ) ); // false
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 'Hi' ) ); // true
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 'Hello' ) ); // false
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 'Howdy' ) ); // true
console.log( rules.isSatisfiedBy( 'Hello world' ) ); // false

Available classes

  • SameValueAs( value: any ): equality of values, not of types, not of instances
  • StrictSameValueAs( value: any ): equality of values and types, not of instances
  • EqualTo( value: any ): equality of values or instances, with ==
  • StrictEqualTo( value: any ): equality of values and types or of instances, with ===
  • SameTypeAs( value: any ): equality of types
  • GreaterThan( value: any )
  • GreaterThanOrEqualTo( value: any )
  • LessThan( value: any )
  • LessThanOrEqualTo( value: any )
  • Between( min: any, max: any )
  • In( values: array ): inside an array
  • StartsWith( value: string, ignoreCase: boolean = false ): string starts with
  • EndsWith( value: string, ignoreCase: boolean = false ): string ends with
  • Contains( value: string, ignoreCase: boolean = false ): string contains
  • LengthBetween( min: any, max: any ): string length between two values
  • Empty(): string is empty or array is empty
  • Matches( regex: RegExp ): matches a regular expression
  • Any( ...specs: Spec ): composite that takes in multiple Specs and performs an or
  • All( ...specs: Spec ): composite that takes in multiple Specs and performs an and

All these classes extend the abstract class Composite, which in turn implements the interface Spec:

export interface Spec< C, T extends C | unknown > {
 
    isSatisfiedBy( candidate: C | T ): boolean;
 
    and( other: Spec< C, T > ): Spec< C, T >;
 
    andNot( other: Spec< C, T > ): Spec< C, T >;
 
    or( other: Spec< C, T > ): Spec< C, T >;
 
    orNot( other: Spec< C, T > ): Spec< C, T >;
 
    not(): Spec< C, T >;
 
}

Creating your own class

Create your own class by extending the abstract class Composite, like in the following example. Of course, you can also extend one of the aforementioned classes or implement the interface Spec (but why reinventing the wheel, right?).

Let's create a class DifferentFrom ...

...in TypeScript:

import { Composite } from 'spec-pattern';
 
export class DifferentFrom< C, T extends C | unknown > extends Composite< C, T > {
 
    constructor( private _value: T ) {
        super();
    }
 
    isSatisfiedBy( candidate: C | T ): boolean {
        return this._value != candidate;
    }
 
    toString(): string {
        return 'different from ' + this._value;
    }
 
}

...or in JavaScript 6+:

import { Composite } from 'spec-pattern';
 
class DifferentFrom extends Composite {
 
    constructor( value ) {
        this.value = value;
    }
 
    isSatisfiedBy( candidate ) {
        return this.value != candidate;
    }
 
    toString() {
        return 'different from ' + this.value;
    }
}

...or in JavaScript 5+:

var Composite  = require( 'spec-pattern' ).Composite;
 
function DifferentFrom( value ) {
 
    Composite.call( this ); // super()
 
    this.value = value;
 
    this.isSatisfiedBy = function ( candidate ) {
        return this.value != candidate;
    };
 
    this.toString = function() {
        return 'different from ' + this.value;
    };
}
 
DifferentFrom.prototype = Object.create( Composite.prototype );
DifferentFrom.prototype.constructor = DifferentFrom;

That's it! Just three methods: constructor, isSatisfiedBy, and toString().
