4. Models

4.1. Rule

Rule is to check if your “rule aware” objects are allowed to be processed and if some rule’s configuration can be applied to it.

A rule is configured using the configuration attribute which is an array serialized into database. Your custom Rule Applicator should define which configuration key-value pair should be applied. For example, you could configure the route key to define which route should be applied to an object if the given rule evaluates to true. You could also apply templateName or any other keys.

See Usage section for more details.

4.2. RuleSubjectInterface

To make use of the Rule bundle and allow to apply rule to an object, the entity must be “rule aware”, it means that “subject” class needs to implement SWP\Component\Rule\Model\RuleSubjectInterface interface.

If you make your custom entity rule aware, the Rule Processor will automatically process all rules for given object.

By implementing SWP\Component\Rule\Model\RuleSubjectInterface interface, your object will have to define the following method:

• getSubjectType() - should return the name of current object, for example: article.

Rule Evaluator is using this method to evaluate rule on an object.

If the getSubjectType() returns article the rule expression should be related to this object using article prefix. For example: article.getSomething('something') > 1.
