JS to JSONLogic

   !Type Declarations 

Transform JavaScript expressions into JSONLogic objects. For Node.js.

> NOTICE: This module is still in beta!

$3

``shell
npm install --save js-to-json-logic
`

$3

`js
const transformJS = require("js-to-json-logic");

transformJS('temp < 110 && pie.filling === "apple"');
`

The transformJS function returns a JavaScript object, which can be stringified as a JSON and look like this:

`json
{
"and": [
{
"<": [
{
"var": "temp"
},
110
]
},
{
"===": [
{
"var": "pie.filling"
},
"apple"
]
}
]
}
`

To parse input code, this module uses @babel/parser to parse JavaScript code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). The tree is then transformed into a JSONLogic object.

Said object is can then be used with the json-logic-js module to apply the interpreted rules to any type of data. Learn More

| expression | support | examples |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Boolean Literals | full | true, false |
| String Literals | full | "banana", "hello world" |
| Template Literals | full | \hello, \${first_name}\ |
| Numeric Literals | full | 1, 2.04, -10292.64, 0b01011010, 0xFF00FF, etc. |
| Object Expressions / Literals | full | ({ a: [1, false, 'string'], b: false, d: 'hello' }) |
| Array Expressions | full | [1, 2, 3] |
| Spread Operator in Arrays | full | [1, 2, ...myArr] |
| Null Literals | full | null |
| Identifiers (variables) | full | myVar, deep.property |
| Comparison Expressions | full | a > b, a < b, a <= b, a === b, a !== b, etc. |
| Arithmetic Operators | full | a + b, a * b, a - b, a / b, a % b |
| Call Expressions | full | myFunction(a, b, c) |
| Unary Expressions | full | !cond, !!cond, -var, +var |
| Conditional (Ternary) Operator | full | condition ? a : b |
| Regex Literal | limited | /[^@]+@[^\.]+\..+/gi |
| If Statements | limited | if (condA) { a } else if (condB) { b } else { c } |
| Call Expressions with Callback | limited | map(arr, x => x + 1) |
| Arrow Functions | limited | x => x + 1, (a, b) => a + b |

Notes:

- Regex Literals: are not supported by the JSON spec. To account for this, they are converted into an array of strings. The first element of the array is the pattern, the second one contains the flags. Example: [ "\d\d\d\d", "gi" ]

- If Statements: Multi-line consequentials (block statements in if statements) are not supported. Also, implicit return will always apply.

- Call Expressions with Callback: Only arrow functions are allowed as callbacks in call expressions.

- Arrow Functions: arrow functions can only be single-line expressions or have a one-line block statement

- If a specific syntactic JS feature is not specified in the table above, it's likely that it isn't supported. If you have an idea on how to support said feature, feel free to file a GitHub Issue.
