RuleStack.Abstractions

Minimal abstractions for the RuleStack natural language rules engine. This package provides the foundational types needed to create RuleStack plugins and domain objects.

Installation

dotnet add package RuleStack.Abstractions

What's Included

Annotations

Attributes for marking C# classes and members as rule-accessible:

  • [RuleNoun] - Mark classes as domain entities (nouns) referenceable in natural language rules
  • [RuleProperty] - Mark properties as accessible in rules with natural language terms
  • [RuleMethod] - Mark instance methods as actions invokable in rules
  • [RuleFunction] - Mark static methods as functions usable in rule expressions
  • [RuleExtensions] / [RuleExtensionMethod] - Support for extension methods in rules
  • [RuleContext] / [RuleContextEntry] - Mark context classes for rule execution

Execution Object Model (XOM)

Interfaces for custom type providers:

  • ITypeProvider - Main abstraction for execution object models
  • ITypeDescriptor - Describes a type in the execution object model
  • IPropertyAccessor - Abstraction for property access
  • IMethodInvoker - Abstraction for method invocation

Vocabulary

Types for IDE integration and autocomplete:

  • BomVocabulary - Business Object Model vocabulary exported by plugins
  • CompletionContext / CompletionSuggestion - Autocomplete support
  • AggregatedVocabulary - Aggregates vocabularies from multiple plugins

Plugin Discovery

  • [RuleStackPlugin] - Assembly-level attribute for plugin discovery

Quick Example

using RuleStack.Abstractions.Annotations;

[RuleNoun("order", PluralName = "orders")]
public class Order
{
    [RuleProperty("total")]
    public decimal Total { get; set; }

    [RuleProperty("status")]
    public string Status { get; set; }

    [RuleMethod("approve")]
    public void Approve() => Status = "Approved";
}

This allows writing rules like:

RULE "Auto-approve small orders"
IF
    the total of order is less than 100
THEN
    approve order
