Add scoped nested rules#428

@chris-pardy @CacheControl would love to contribute this feature as soon as possible :) |

Thanks for the contribution @sydneygrivers! Iterating over arrays with scoped conditions is definitely something we want to support — it's been part of the design discussion in #372. That said, we'd like to cover this with a more in-depth design pass to make sure the approach aligns with the broader direction of the engine (particularly around parameters and iteration constructs). We'll review what you've put together here as input into that design. |
Thank you @chris-pardy. Let me know if you have any questions! We are using a forked repo with this solution and so far its been working great for us |
Added Scoped Nested Rules Feature
- Wraps a parent almanac with a specific array item context
- Allows conditions inside nested rules to access properties directly on the current array item
- Supports resolvePath() to resolve JSONPath directly on the scoped item
- Falls back to parent almanac for facts not found on the item
- Added isNestedCondition() - detects operator: 'some' with a conditions property
- Added isScopedCondition() - detects path-only conditions (no fact, just path + operator)
- Scoped conditions work inside nested blocks where the "fact" is implicitly the current array item
- Added evaluateNestedCondition() to iterate over array items
- Creates a ScopedAlmanac for each array item and evaluates nested conditions against it
- Short-circuits on first match (returns true as soon as any item matches)
- Threaded currentAlmanac through all evaluation functions (evaluateCondition, all, any, not, realize, etc.)
- Added resolvePath() stub that throws helpful error if path-only conditions are used outside nested context
