About

This project has been developed to provide Python implementation of spaceavocado/illogical.

Getting Started

You can install the (py)illogical from PyPI:

python -m pip install illogical

The reader is supported on Python 3.7 and above.

Table of Content

Basic Usage

from illogical.illogical import Illogical

# Create a new instance of the engine
illogical = Illogical()

# Evaluate an expression
illogical.evaluate(["==", 1, 1], {})

For advanced usage, please Engine Options.

Evaluate

Evaluate comparison or logical expression:

illogical.evaluate(Comparison Expression or Logical Expression, Evaluation Data Context) => bool

Example

context = {
  "name": "peter",
}

# Comparison expression
illogical.evaluate(["==", 5, 5], context)
illogical.evaluate(["==", "circle", "circle"], context)
illogical.evaluate(["==", True, True], context)
illogical.evaluate(["==", "$name", "peter"], context)
illogical.evaluate(["NIL", "$RefA"], context)

# Logical expression
illogical.evaluate(["AND", ["==", 5, 5], ["==", 10, 10]], context)
illogical.evaluate(["AND", ["==", "circle", "circle"], ["==", 10, 10]], context)
illogical.evaluate(["OR", ["==", "$name", "peter"], ["==", 5, 10]], context)

Statement

Get expression string representation:

illogical.statement(Comparison Expression or Logical Expression) => str

Example

# Comparison expression

illogical.statement(["==", 5, 5])
# (5 == 5)

illogical.statement(["==", "circle", "circle"])
# ("circle" == "circle")

illogical.statement(["==", True, True])
# (True == True)

illogical.statement(["==", "$name", "peter"])
# ({name} == "peter")

illogical.statement(["NIL", "$RefA"])
# ({RefA} <is nil>)

# Logical expression

illogical.statement(["AND", ["==", 5, 5], ["==", 10, 10]])
# ((5 == 5) AND (10 == 10))

illogical.statement(["AND", ["==", "circle", "circle"], ["==", 10, 10]])
# (("circle" == "circle") AND (10 == 10))

illogical.statement(["OR", ["==", "$name", "peter"], ["==", 5, 10]])
# (({name} == "peter") OR (5 == 10))

Parse

Parse the expression into a Evaluable object, i.e. it returns the parsed self-evaluable condition expression.

illogical.parse(Comparison Expression or Logical Expression) => Evaluable

Evaluable

Example

evaluable = illogical.parse(["==", "$name", "peter"])

evaluable.evaluate({"name": "peter"})
# True

print(evaluable)
# ({name} == "peter")

Simplify

Simplifies an expression with a given context. This is useful when you already have some of the properties of context and wants to try to evaluate the expression.

Example

evaluable = illogical.parse(["AND", ["==", "$a", 10], ["==", "$b", 20]])

evaluable.simplify({"a": 10})
# ({b} == 20)

evaluable.simplify({"a": 20})
# False

Values not found in the context will cause the parent operand not to be evaluated and returned as part of the simplified expression.

In some situations we might want to evaluate the expression even if referred value is not present. You can provide a list of keys that will be strictly evaluated even if they are not present in the context.

Example

from illogical.illogical import Illogical
from illogical.parser.parse import Options

ignored_paths = ["ignored"],
ignored_path_rx = [r"^ignored"],

illogical = Illogical(Options(ignored_paths=ignored_paths, ignored_path_rx=ignored_path_rx))

evaluable = illogical.parse(["AND", ["==", "$a", 10], ["==", "$ignored", 20]])

evaluable.simplify({"a": 10})
# False
# $ignored" will be evaluated to None.

Alternatively we might want to do the opposite and strictly evaluate the expression for all referred values not present in the context except for a specified list of optional keys.

Example

from illogical.illogical import Illogical
from illogical.parser.parse import Options

ignored_paths = ["b"]

illogical = Illogical(Options(ignored_paths=ignored_paths))

evaluable = illogical.parse(["OR", ["==", "$a", 10], ["==", "$b", 20}, ["==", "$c", 20]])

evaluable.simplify({"c": 10})
# ({a} == 10)
# except for "$b" everything not in context will be evaluated to None.

Serialize

Serializes an expression into the raw expression form, reverse the parse operation.

Example

evaluable = illogical.parse(["AND", ["==", "$a", 10], ["==", 10, 20]])

evaluable.serialize()
# ["AND", ["==", "$a", 10], ["==", 10, 20]]

Working with Expressions

Evaluation Data Context

The evaluation data context is used to provide the expression with variable references, i.e. this allows for the dynamic expressions. The data context is object with properties used as the references keys, and its values as reference values.

Valid reference values: dist, str, int, float, list; set; tuple of (bool, string, int, float).

To reference the nested reference, please use "." delimiter, e.g.: $address.city

Accessing Array Element:

$options[1]

Accessing Array Element via Reference:

$options[{index}]

  • The index reference is resolved within the data context as an array index.

Nested Referencing

$address.{segment}

  • The segment reference is resolved within the data context as a property key.

Composite Reference Key

$shape{shapeType}

  • The shapeType reference is resolved within the data context, and inserted into the outer reference key.
  • E.g. shapeType is resolved as "B" and would compose the $shapeB outer reference.
  • This resolution could be n-nested.

Data Type Casting

$payment.amount.(Type)

Cast the given data context into the desired data type before being used as an operand in the evaluation.

Note: If the conversion is invalid, then a warning message is being logged.

Supported data type conversions:

  • .(String): cast a given reference to String.
  • .(Number): cast a given reference to Number.
  • .(Integer): cast a given reference to Integer.
  • .(Float): cast a given reference to Float.
  • .(Boolean): cast a given reference to Boolean.

Example

# Data context
context = {
  "name":    "peter",
  "country": "canada",
  "age":     21,
  "options": [1, 2, 3],
  "address": {
    city:    "Toronto",
    country: "Canada",
  },
  "index":     2,
  "segment":   "city",
  "shapeA":    "box",
  "shapeB":    "circle",
  "shapeType": "B",
}

# Evaluate an expression in the given data context

illogical.evaluate([">", "$age", 20], context)
# True

illogical.evaluate(["==", "$address.city", "Toronto"], context)
# True

# Accessing Array Element
illogical.evaluate(["==", "$options[1]", 2], context)
# True

# Accessing Array Element via Reference
illogical.evaluate(["==", "$options[{index}]", 3], context)
# True

# Nested Referencing
illogical.evaluate(["==", "$address.{segment}", "Toronto"], context)
# True

# Composite Reference Key
illogical.evaluate(["==", "$shape{shapeType}", "circle"], context)
# True

# Data Type Casting
illogical.evaluate(["==", "$age.(String)", "21"], context)
# True

Operand Types

The Comparison Expression expect operands to be one of the below:

Value

Simple value types: string, int, float, bool, None.

Example

val1 = 5
var2 = "cirle"
var3 = True

illogical.parse(["AND", ["==", val1, var2], ["==", var3, var3]])

Reference

The reference operand value is resolved from the Evaluation Data Context, where the the operands name is used as key in the context.

The reference operand must be prefixed with $ symbol, e.g.: $name. This might be customized via Reference Predicate Parser Option.

Example

Expression Data Context
["==", "$age", 21] {age: 21}
["==", "circle", "$shape"] {shape: "circle"}
["==", "$visible", True] {visible: True}

Collection

The operand could be an array mixed from Value and Reference.

Example

Expression Data Context
["IN", [1, 2], 1] {}
["IN", "circle", ["$shapeA", "$shapeB"] {shapeA: "circle", shapeB: "box"}
["IN", ["$number", 5], 5] {number: 3}

Engine Options

Reference Serialize Options

Usage

from illogical.illogical import Illogical
from illogical.parser.parse import Options

illogical = Illogical(Options(reference_from=reference_from, reference_to=reference_to))

From

A function used to determine if the operand is a reference type, otherwise evaluated as a static value.

Callable[[str], str]

Return value:

  • True = reference type
  • False = value type

Default reference predicate:

The $ symbol at the begging of the operand is used to predicate the reference type., E.g. $State, $Country.

To

A function used to transform the operand into the reference annotation stripped form. I.e. remove any annotation used to detect the reference type. E.g. "$Reference" => "Reference".

Callable[[str], str]

Default reference transform: It removes the $ symbol at the begging of the operand name.

Collection Serialize Options

Usage

from illogical.illogical import Illogical
from illogical.parser.parse import Options

escape_character = "\\"

illogical = Illogical(Options(escape_character=escape_character))

Escape Character

Charter used to escape fist value within a collection, if the value contains operator value.

Example

  • ["==", 1, 1] # interpreted as EQ expression
  • ["\==", 1, 1] # interpreted as a collection

Default escape character: \

Simplify Options

Options applied while an expression is being simplified.

Usage

from illogical.illogical import Illogical
from illogical.parser.parse import Options

ignored_paths = ["ignored"]
ignored_path_rx = [r"^prefix"]

illogical = Illogical(Options(ignored_paths=ignored_paths, ignored_path_rx=ignored_path_rx))

Ignored Paths

Reference paths which should be ignored while simplification is applied. Must be an exact match.

Ignored Paths RegEx

Reference paths which should be ignored while simplification is applied. Matching regular expression patterns.

Operator Mapping

Mapping of the operators. The key is unique operator key, and the value is the key used to represent the given operator in the raw expression.

Usage

from illogical.illogical import Illogical
from illogical.parser.parse import Options, DEFAULT_OPERATOR_MAPPING, EQ

operator_mapping = DEFAULT_OPERATOR_MAPPING.copy()
operator_mapping[EQ] = "IS"

illogical = Illogical(Options(operator_mapping=operator_mapping))

Default operator mapping:

DEFAULT_OPERATOR_MAPPING = {
    # Logical
    AND:     "AND",
    OR:      "OR",
    NOR:     "NOR",
    XOR:     "XOR",
    NOT:     "NOT",
    # Comparison
    EQ:      "==",
    NE:      "!=",
    GT:      ">",
    GE:      ">=",
    LT:      "<",
    LE:      "<=",
    NONE:     "NONE",
    PRESENT: "PRESENT",
    IN:      "IN",
    NIN:     "NOT IN",
