NxtTry

Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/nxt_try. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

• Traceable
  • Should we just check whether the path exists?
  • Or how do we want this to work, especially with booleans?
• Types
  • any of, all of, one_of maybe n_of?
  • references by id
  • definitions
• Nodes
  • additional nodes strategy
  • required nodes strategy
• Contexts
  • in validations on any level
  • in conditions on any level
• Conditions
  • conditional attributes
  • access values of nodes
  • logical expressions
  • merge strategy?
  • does it make sense to remove conditions once evaluated?

    {
      if: { and: [or: [{ equals: '~/path/to/context'}, {'~/path/to/context': 'other'}]] }, 
      then: { replace: { attributes: { ... }, validate: '' }, merge: { ... }  }, 
      else: { merge: { } } 
    }

  • NO nested conditions
• Validations
  • should be able to take any amount of args
  • logical expressions
    • and, or, not, xor

    {
      validate: { and: [{ equals: '12345' }, { or: [{equals: 'qw'}, {not: 'ads'}]}],
      validate: { '~/path/to/context': [{ '/path/to/validation': '12345' }, { size: 5}]},
      validate: { '>=': 5 },
      validate: { 'api': { } },
      validate: { 'greater': 5 },
      validate: { 'between': [1, '~path/to/context'] },
      # maybe better named arguments
      validate: { 'between': { lower: 1, upper: '~path/to/context' } }
      # conditionals do not make sense and should be solved on schema level
      # validate: { if: {}, then: {}, else: {} }
    }

  • NO conditions in validations as those are on schema level
• Filters
  • Work with hashes, all_of and any_of nodes
• Proper type systems with namespacing
• Required nodes, omittable nodes
• Should we allow conditions on all nodes or just hashes?
  • Why not all nodes?
• Rethink merge and replace strategy
• Do not mutate original schema
  • Reference original schema

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'nxt_try'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install nxt_try

Usage

TODO: Write usage instructions here

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
