14.8. Adding Constraints to Facts

Table 14.3. Adding Constraints to Facts
Name Description Example
Expressing LHS conditions
The DSL facility allows you to add constraints to a pattern by a simple convention: if your DSL expression starts with a hyphen (minus character, "-") it is assumed to be a field constraint and, consequently, is is added to the last pattern line preceding it.
In the example, the class Cheese, has these fields: type, price, age and country. You can express some LHS condition in normal DRL.
Cheese(age < 5, price == 20, type=="stilton", country=="ch")

DSL definitions
The DSL definitions given in this example result in three DSL phrases which may be used to create any combination of constraint involving these fields.
[when]There is a Cheese with=Cheese()
[when]- age is less than {age}=age<{age}
[when]- type is '{type}'=type=='{type}'
[when]- country equal to '{country}'=country=='{country}'
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"-"
The parser will pick up a line beginning with "-" and add it as a constraint to the preceding pattern, inserting a comma when it is required.
There is a Cheese with
        - age is less than 42
        - type is 'stilton'
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Cheese(age<42, type=='stilton')
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Defining DSL phrases
Defining DSL phrases for various operators and even a generic expression that handles any field constraint reduces the amount of DSL entries.
[when][]is less than or equal to=<=
[when][]is less than=<
[when][]is greater than or equal to=>=
[when][]is greater than=>
[when][]is equal to===
[when][]equals===
[when][]There is a Cheese with=Cheese()
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[when][]- {field:\w*} {operator} {value:\d*}={field} {operator} {value}
DSL definition rule n/a
There is a Cheese with
   - age is less than 42
   - rating is greater than 50
   - type equals 'stilton'
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
In this specific case, a phrase such as "is less than" is replaced by <, and then the line matches the last DSL entry. This removes the hyphen, but the final result is still added as a constraint to the preceding pattern. After processing all of the lines, the resulting DRL text is:
Cheese(age<42, rating > 50, type=='stilton')
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Note

The order of the entries in the DSL is important if separate DSL expressions are intended to match the same line, one after the other.
