Add RulesEvaluator API

[fmbenhassine]

As discussed in #40 with @thecederick , it may be useful to have a rules evaluator API to be able check rules like: (RuleA and RuleB) or RuleC

You can already do this: ( ruleA.evaluate() && ruleB.evaluate() ) || ruleC.evaluate() . Do you believe Easy Rules should provide a RuleEvaluator API?

It is not always possible do it like you described, for example @condition annotation and you do it outside of Engine.

@benas it would be cool to be able to evaluate a set of rules and get back a list containing a rule result where you can see at least which rule evaluation failed...what do you think?

Hi @pdincau

Have you seen the checkRules method ?

I think this method is what you are looking for.

Kind regards

thanks @benas !

@pdincau FYI, you can try the checkRules method with version 2.3.0-SNAPSHOT which is not released yet. I'm preparing to release it soon.

[pdincau]

@benas Yeah I was using previous tagged version and therefore i couldn't find the method neither on code nor in the docs. Thank you for your help 👍

Sorry about that, I should have gave you this detail in my first comment. You can add this repository and use the snapshot version.
