Universal Conditional Logic Engine

The LLVM for Conditional Logic - A unified system for defining, executing, and translating conditional logic across any platform, query language, or application domain.

The Problem Space

The Fragmentation Crisis

Every application that needs conditional logic ends up building its own implementation. Consider these common scenarios:

Frontend Applications:

// React component conditional rendering
{user.role === 'admin' && user.permissions.includes('delete') && <DeleteButton />}

// Form validation
const isValid = email.length > 0 && email.includes('@') && password.length >= 8;

Backend Services:

-- Database queries
SELECT * FROM users 
WHERE role = 'admin' 
  AND created_at > '2024-01-01' 
  AND status IN ('active', 'premium');

// API filters
const filteredData = data.filter(item => 
  item.price > 100 && 
  item.category === 'electronics' && 
  item.inStock === true
);

Business Logic Engines:

# Workflow automation
if:
  - user.subscription_tier: "premium"
  - user.usage_count: { $lt: 1000 }
  - user.region: { $in: ["US", "EU"] }
then:
  - action: "send_upgrade_notification"

Low-Code Platforms:

{
  "conditions": {
    "all": [
      {"field": "age", "operator": "gte", "value": 18},
      {"field": "country", "operator": "eq", "value": "US"},
      {"field": "email_verified", "operator": "eq", "value": true}
    ]
  }
}

The Core Problems

1. Endless Reimplementation

Every team, every project, every platform rebuilds the same conditional logic infrastructure:

Parse user input into executable conditions
Validate condition syntax and semantics
Execute conditions with proper type safety
Debug failed conditions
Optimize performance for complex nested logic

The Cost:

Months of development time per project
Inconsistent implementations across teams
Bugs from reinventing solved problems
Technical debt from rushed implementations

2. The Translation Nightmare

Consider a common business scenario: A user creates a filter in your frontend that needs to:

Filter table data in the UI
Generate SQL for backend queries
Create MongoDB aggregation pipelines
Power email campaign targeting
Drive workflow automation rules

Current Reality:

// Frontend (React)
const uiFilter = items.filter(item => 
  item.status === 'active' && item.price > 100
);

// Backend (SQL)
const sqlQuery = `
  SELECT * FROM items 
  WHERE status = 'active' AND price > 100
`;

// MongoDB
const mongoQuery = {
  $and: [
    { status: 'active' },
    { price: { $gt: 100 } }
  ]
};

// Email Campaign
const emailConditions = {
  segment: {
    filters: [
      { field: 'status', operator: 'equals', value: 'active' },
      { field: 'price', operator: 'greater_than', value: 100 }
    ]
  }
};

Problems:

4 different formats for the same logical condition
Manual synchronization between systems
Bugs when formats diverge
Impossible to maintain consistency

3. The Debugging Hell

When conditions fail in production, developers face:

// Which part failed? Why? Where?
const complexCondition = (
  user.subscription.tier === 'premium' &&
  user.usage.current < user.usage.limit &&
  user.permissions.includes('advanced_features') &&
  user.account.status === 'active' &&
  user.billing.current === true
);

// Result: false - but which condition failed?

Current Debugging Experience:

No visibility into which sub-condition failed
No tracing through complex nested logic
No metrics on condition performance
Manual instrumentation required

4. Type Safety Catastrophe

Most conditional systems fail at runtime:

// Runtime disaster waiting to happen
const result = data.filter(item => {
  return item.user.profile.age > 18; // What if profile is null?
});

// SQL injection risks
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '${userName}'`;

// Wrong operator types
const isValid = user.id > "123"; // Number vs string comparison

5. The Complexity Ceiling

As conditions grow complex, current systems break down:

// Unreadable and unmaintainable
const eligibleForDiscount = (
  ((user.tier === 'gold' && user.purchases > 50) || 
   (user.tier === 'silver' && user.purchases > 100)) &&
  user.lastPurchase > Date.now() - (30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) &&
  !user.usedDiscountThisMonth &&
  user.preferredCategories.some(cat => 
    ['electronics', 'books', 'clothing'].includes(cat)
  ) &&
  user.shippingAddress.country === 'US'
);

Problems:

No composition or reusability
Impossible to test individual parts
No way to visualize logic flow
Performance degrades with complexity

Current State of Conditional Logic

The Fragmented Landscape

Currently, every domain has built its own conditional logic system:

Domain	Examples	Formats
Databases	SQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch	WHERE clauses, aggregation pipelines, query DSL
Frontend	React, Vue, Angular	JSX conditions, template directives, computed properties
APIs	GraphQL, REST, GraphQL	Query variables, filter parameters, search syntax
Business Rules	Workflow engines, CRM systems	YAML configs, JSON rules, proprietary DSLs
Infrastructure	Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD	Pod selectors, routing rules, deployment conditions
Analytics	Data pipelines, BI tools	Filter expressions, segmentation rules, alert conditions

The Innovation Bottleneck

This fragmentation creates several critical problems:

Knowledge Silos: Teams become experts in their domain's conditional syntax but can't transfer knowledge
Integration Hell: Moving data between systems requires format conversion
Testing Complexity: Each system needs its own testing approach
Vendor Lock-in: Business logic becomes tied to specific platforms
Performance Inconsistencies: Each implementation has different optimization strategies

Why Current Solutions Fall Short

1. Query Builders (e.g., QueryBuilder.js, React-QueryBuilder)

// Limited to specific output formats
const builder = new QueryBuilder();
builder.condition('age', '>', 18);
// Can only generate SQL or specific JSON - not universal

Limitations:

Locked to specific output formats
No type safety
Poor debugging experience
Can't handle complex business logic

2. Business Rules Engines (e.g., Drools, Easy Rules)

// Heavy, enterprise-focused, JVM-locked
rule "Premium User Discount"
when
    $user: User(tier == "premium", purchases > 100)
then
    $user.applyDiscount(0.15);
end

Limitations:

Platform-specific (JVM, .NET)
Enterprise complexity
Not web-friendly
Poor integration with modern stacks

3. Configuration-Based Systems (e.g., JSON Logic)

{
  "and": [
    {">": [{"var": "age"}, 18]},
    {"in": [{"var": "country"}, ["US", "Canada"]]}
  ]
}

Limitations:

Limited operator support
No type safety
Poor developer experience
Difficult to debug
No extensibility

Our Solution: A Universal Approach

The Core Innovation

We've built the LLVM for conditional logic - a universal intermediate representation that solves the fragmentation problem through a three-layer architecture:

INPUT LAYER          UNIVERSAL DSL           OUTPUT LAYER
┌─────────────┐      ┌─────────────┐        ┌─────────────┐
│ UI Builders │      │             │        │ SQL Queries │
│ JSON Config │ ───► │ Serializable│ ────► │ MongoDB     │
│ Voice Input │      │ Universal   │        │ GraphQL     │
│ Legacy APIs │      │ Structure   │        │ React JSX   │
│ YAML Rules  │      │             │        │ Workflows   │
└─────────────┘      └─────────────┘        └─────────────┘

The Three Pillars

1. Universal Intermediate Representation

A single, serializable format that can express any conditional logic:

interface UniversalCondition {
  rule: RuleType;
  operand: OperandType;
  operator: OperatorType;
  value: any;
  metadata?: {
    description?: string;
    verbosity?: VerbosityLevel;
    isInverse?: boolean;
  };
}

2. Type-Safe Execution Engine

Compile-time safety with runtime performance:

// Impossible to make syntax errors
functions["STRING"]["CONTAINS"]("hello", "hello world") // ✅
functions["STRING"]["GREATER_THAN"]("hello", 5)         // ❌ TypeScript error

3. Bidirectional Translation Layer

Parse any input format, output to any destination:

// One definition, infinite applications
const condition = parseFromUI(userSelection);
const sqlQuery = translateToSQL(condition);
const mongoQuery = translateToMongo(condition);
const reactFilter = translateToReact(condition);

Core Design Principles

1. Parse Everything, Generate Anything

Input Agnostic: Accept any conditional logic format
Output Universal: Generate any target format
Zero Loss Translation: Perfect fidelity between formats

2. Type Safety First

Compile-Time Errors: Catch mistakes before runtime
Operator Validation: Ensure correct operator usage
Parameter Type Checking: Prevent type mismatches

3. Observable by Design

Distributed Tracing: Track condition evaluation across systems
Metrics Collection: Performance and usage analytics
Debug Interface: Step through complex conditions

4. Performance Optimized

Lazy Evaluation: Only compute what's needed
Dependency Optimization: Parallel execution where possible
Caching Layer: Avoid redundant computations

Core Components

1. Universal DSL Specification

The heart of our system is a universal DSL that can express any conditional logic:

// Core rule types
const RuleTypes = [
  "EVALUATION",    // Data evaluation (string, number, date, etc.)
  "VALIDATION",    // Input validation (signature, type checking)
  "AUTHORIZATION", // Permission checking (can, limited)
  "USER"          // Custom user-defined rules
] as const;

// Hierarchical operand structure
const operands = {
  EVALUATION: {
    STRING: ["EQUALS", "CONTAINS", "STARTS_WITH", "ENDS_WITH", "LENGTH_EQUALS"],
    NUMBER: ["EQUALS", "GREATER_THAN", "LESS_THAN", "BETWEEN", "IS_EVEN"],
    DATE: ["EQUALS", "BEFORE", "AFTER", "BETWEEN"],
    ARRAY: ["CONTAINS", "LENGTH_EQUALS", "SATISFIES"],
    OBJECT: ["EQUALS", "CONTAINS", "SATISFIES"],
    COMMON: {
      LOGICAL: ["AND", "OR"],
      ASSERTION: ["ASSERT", "ASSERT_NOT"],
      NULLISH: ["IS_EMPTY", "IS_NULL", "EXISTS"]
    }
  },
  VALIDATION: {
    SIGNATURE: ["VALID", "INVALID"],
    TYPE: ["IS_STRING", "IS_NUMBER", "IS_BOOLEAN"]
  },
  AUTHORIZATION: {
    CAN: ["READ", "WRITE", "DELETE"],
    LIMITED: ["TIME_BASED", "QUOTA_BASED"]
  }
};

2. Condition Definition Format

Every condition follows a standardized structure:

interface ConditionDefinition {
  // Core identification
  id: string;
  type: RuleType;
  
  // Execution parameters
  subject: string;     // What to evaluate ("user.age", "order.total")
  operator: string;    // How to evaluate ("GREATER_THAN", "CONTAINS")
  reference: any;      // What to compare against (18, "admin")
  
  // Metadata
  description?: string;
  verbosity?: "TRACE" | "DEBUG" | "INFO" | "WARN" | "ERROR";
  isInverse?: boolean; // Invert the result
  
  // Observability
  shouldGatherMetrics?: boolean;
  isSystemDefined?: boolean;
}

3. Example Condition Definitions

// Simple user age check
const ageCondition: ConditionDefinition = {
  id: "user_age_check",
  type: "EVALUATION",
  subject: "user.age",
  operator: "GREATER_THAN",
  reference: 18,
  description: "User must be over 18"
};

// Complex permission check
const permissionCondition: ConditionDefinition = {
  id: "admin_permission",
  type: "AUTHORIZATION",
  subject: "user.permissions",
  operator: "CAN",
  reference: ["READ", "WRITE"],
  description: "User must have read and write permissions"
};

// String validation
const emailCondition: ConditionDefinition = {
  id: "email_validation",
  type: "VALIDATION",
  subject: "user.email",
  operator: "CONTAINS",
  reference: "@",
  description: "Email must contain @ symbol"
};

Type-Safe Execution Engine

The Problem with Current Approaches

Most conditional systems fail at runtime because they lack compile-time type safety:

// Runtime disasters waiting to happen
user.profile.age > 18;           // What if profile is null?
"123" > 100;                     // String vs number comparison
user.permissions.includes("admin"); // What if permissions is undefined?

Our Type-Safe Solution

We've built a hierarchical function system that makes mistakes impossible:

// Type-safe operator structure
const functions = {
  STRING: {
    CONTAINS: (term: string, value: string): boolean => value.includes(term),
    STARTS_WITH: (term: string, value: string): boolean => value.startsWith(term),
    LENGTH_GREATER_THAN: (term: string, value: number): boolean => term.length > value
  },
  
  NUMBER: {
    EQUALS: (lhs: number, rhs: number): boolean => lhs === rhs,
    GREATER_THAN: (lhs: number, rhs: number): boolean => lhs > rhs,
    BETWEEN: (value: number, range: {min: number, max: number}): boolean => 
      value > range.min && value < range.max
  },
  
  COMMON: {
    LOGICAL: {
      AND: (...expressions: boolean[]): boolean => expressions.every(expr => expr === true),
      OR: (...expressions: boolean[]): boolean => expressions.some(expr => expr === true)
    }
  }
};

Compile-Time Safety in Action

// ✅ Valid - TypeScript knows this is correct
functions.STRING.CONTAINS("hello", "hello world");

// ❌ TypeScript error - wrong parameter types
functions.STRING.CONTAINS("hello", 123);

// ✅ Valid - proper number comparison
functions.NUMBER.GREATER_THAN(25, 18);

// ❌ TypeScript error - can't use string operator on numbers
functions.STRING.CONTAINS(25, 18);

// ✅ Valid - complex logical combinations
functions.COMMON.LOGICAL.AND(
  functions.STRING.CONTAINS("admin", user.role),
  functions.NUMBER.GREATER_THAN(user.age, 18)
);

Runtime Execution Engine

The execution engine processes universal conditions with full type safety:

class ConditionExecutor {
  async execute(condition: ConditionDefinition, context: any): Promise<boolean> {
    // Extract subject value from context
    const subjectValue = this.extractValue(condition.subject, context);
    
    // Get the appropriate function based on condition type
    const executorFunction = this.getFunction(
      condition.type,
      condition.operator
    );
    
    // Execute with full tracing
    const result = await this.traceExecution(
      condition,
      () => executorFunction(subjectValue, condition.reference)
    );
    
    // Apply inverse if specified
    return condition.isInverse ? !result : result;
  }
  
  private getFunction(type: string, operator: string): Function {
    // Navigate the type-safe function hierarchy
    return functions[type][operator];
  }
  
  private async traceExecution(
    condition: ConditionDefinition,
    executor: () => boolean
  ): Promise<boolean> {
    const span = trace.getTracer('conditions').startSpan(condition.id);
    
    try {
      const startTime = performance.now();
      const result = executor();
      const duration = performance.now() - startTime;
      
      // Record metrics
      this.metrics.recordExecution(condition.id, duration, result);
      
      span.setAttributes({
        'condition.id': condition.id,
        'condition.type': condition.type,
        'condition.result': result,
        'condition.duration': duration
      });
      
      return result;
    } catch (error) {
      span.recordException(error);
      throw error;
    } finally {
      span.end();
    }
  }
}

Task Execution System

The Challenge of Complex Workflows

Real applications often require complex workflows where conditions depend on each other:

// Complex dependency chain
const workflow = [
  authenticateUser(),     // Must happen first
  checkPermissions(),     // Depends on user authentication
  validateInput(),        // Can happen in parallel with permissions
  processData(),          // Depends on permissions AND validation
  auditLog()             // Depends on successful processing
];

Our Task Dependency Solution

We've built a sophisticated task execution system that:

Builds dependency graphs using topological sorting
Executes tasks in parallel when possible
Optimizes critical paths for performance
Provides full observability into execution flow

Task Definition

interface Task {
  id: string;
  parameters?: any;
  action: () => Promise<any> | any;
  artifact?: any;
  dependencies?: string[];
  metadata?: {
    description?: string;
    timeout?: number;
    retryPolicy?: RetryPolicy;
  };
}

Dependency Graph Construction

class TaskDependencyGraph {
  private adjacencyList = new Map<string, string[]>();
  private taskMap = new Map<string, Task>();
  
  addTask(task: Task): void {
    this.taskMap.set(task.id, task);
    
    if (!this.adjacencyList.has(task.id)) {
      this.adjacencyList.set(task.id, []);
    }
    
    // Build reverse dependencies for efficient lookup
    if (task.dependencies) {
      task.dependencies.forEach(depId => {
        if (!this.adjacencyList.has(depId)) {
          this.adjacencyList.set(depId, []);
        }
        this.adjacencyList.get(depId)!.push(task.id);
      });
    }
  }
  
  getExecutionQueues(): TaskQueue[] {
    // Perform topological sort
    const sorted = this.topologicalSort();
    
    // Group into concurrent execution queues
    return this.formQueues(sorted);
  }
  
  private topologicalSort(): Task[] {
    const inDegree = new Map<string, number>();
    const queue: string[] = [];
    const result: Task[] = [];
    
    // Calculate in-degrees
    for (const [taskId] of this.taskMap) {
      inDegree.set(taskId, 0);
    }
    
    for (const [, dependents] of this.adjacencyList) {
      dependents.forEach(dependent => {
        inDegree.set(dependent, (inDegree.get(dependent) || 0) + 1);
      });
    }
    
    // Find tasks with no dependencies
    for (const [taskId, degree] of inDegree) {
      if (degree === 0) {
        queue.push(taskId);
      }
    }
    
    // Process queue
    while (queue.length > 0) {
      const currentId = queue.shift()!;
      const currentTask = this.taskMap.get(currentId)!;
      result.push(currentTask);
      
      // Update dependents
      const dependents = this.adjacencyList.get(currentId) || [];
      dependents.forEach(dependentId => {
        const newDegree = inDegree.get(dependentId)! - 1;
        inDegree.set(dependentId, newDegree);
        
        if (newDegree === 0) {
          queue.push(dependentId);
        }
      });
    }
    
    return result;
  }
}

Concurrent Execution Engine

class TaskExecutionEngine {
  private maxConcurrency: number;
  
  constructor(maxConcurrency = 10) {
    this.maxConcurrency = maxConcurrency;
  }
  
  async execute(tasks: Task[]): Promise<Map<string, any>> {
    const graph = new TaskDependencyGraph();
    tasks.forEach(task => graph.addTask(task));
    
    const queues = graph.getExecutionQueues();
    const results = new Map<string, any>();
    const executing = new Set<string>();
    
    // Execute queues with controlled concurrency
    await this.executeQueues(queues, results, executing);
    
    return results;
  }
  
  private async executeQueues(
    queues: TaskQueue[],
    results: Map<string, any>,
    executing: Set<string>
  ): Promise<void> {
    const promises: Promise<void>[] = [];
    
    for (const queue of queues) {
      if (promises.length >= this.maxConcurrency) {
        // Wait for one to complete before starting another
        await Promise.race(promises);
      }
      
      const promise = this.executeQueue(queue, results, executing);
      promises.push(promise);
    }
    
    await Promise.all(promises);
  }
  
  private async executeQueue(
    queue: TaskQueue,
    results: Map<string, any>,
    executing: Set<string>
  ): Promise<void> {
    for (const task of queue.tasks) {
      // Wait for dependencies
      await this.waitForDependencies(task, results, executing);
      
      // Execute task with full observability
      const result = await this.executeTask(task, results);
      results.set(task.id, result);
    }
  }
  
  private async executeTask(task: Task, results: Map<string, any>): Promise<any> {
    const span = trace.getTracer('tasks').startSpan(`task:${task.id}`);
    
    try {
      // Prepare parameters from dependencies
      const parameters = this.prepareParameters(task, results);
      
      // Execute with timeout and retry logic
      const result = await this.executeWithTimeout(
        () => task.action(parameters),
        task.metadata?.timeout || 30000
      );
      
      span.setAttributes({
        'task.id': task.id,
        'task.success': true,
        'task.result_type': typeof result
      });
      
      return result;
    } catch (error) {
      span.recordException(error);
      span.setAttributes({
        'task.id': task.id,
        'task.success': false,
        'task.error': error.message
      });
      throw error;
    } finally {
      span.end();
    }
  }
}

Real-World Task Example

// Define a complex workflow
const authenticationWorkflow: Task[] = [
  {
    id: "validate_token",
    action: async (token: string) => {
      return await validateJWTToken(token);
    },
    metadata: { description: "Validate user JWT token" }
  },
  
  {
    id: "fetch_user_profile",
    dependencies: ["validate_token"],
    action: async (tokenData: any) => {
      return await fetchUserProfile(tokenData.userId);
    }
  },
  
  {
    id: "check_permissions",
    dependencies: ["fetch_user_profile"],
    action: async (userProfile: any) => {
      return await checkUserPermissions(userProfile.role);
    }
  },
  
  {
    id: "validate_input",
    action: async (inputData: any) => {
      return await validateInputSchema(inputData);
    }
  },
  
  {
    id: "process_request",
    dependencies: ["check_permissions", "validate_input"],
    action: async (permissions: any, validatedInput: any) => {
      if (!permissions.canWrite) {
        throw new Error("Insufficient permissions");
      }
      return await processBusinessLogic(validatedInput);
    }
  }
];

// Execute with full observability
const engine = new TaskExecutionEngine();
const results = await engine.execute(authenticationWorkflow);

Universal DSL

The Translation Challenge

Different systems express the same logical condition in completely different formats:

// The same condition: "User is adult with verified email"

// React component
{user.age >= 18 && user.emailVerified && <WelcomeMessage />}

// SQL query
SELECT * FROM users WHERE age >= 18 AND email_verified = true;

// MongoDB query
{ $and: [ { age: { $gte: 18 } }, { email_verified: true } ] }

// GraphQL variables
{ where: { age: { _gte: 18 }, email_verified: { _eq: true } } }

// JSON configuration
{
  "all": [
    { "field": "age", "operator": "gte", "value": 18 },
    { "field": "email_verified", "operator": "eq", "value": true }
  ]
}

Our Universal Format

We define a single format that captures any logical condition:

interface UniversalCondition {
  id: string;
  type: "EVALUATION" | "VALIDATION" | "AUTHORIZATION" | "USER";
  
  // The trinity of conditional logic
  subject: string;    // What to evaluate
  operator: string;   // How to evaluate  
  reference: any;     // What to compare against
  
  // Composition support
  children?: UniversalCondition[];
  combinator?: "AND" | "OR";
  
  // Metadata
  metadata?: {
    description?: string;
    verbosity?: VerbosityLevel;
    isInverse?: boolean;
    tags?: string[];
  };
}

Example Universal Conditions

// Simple condition
const adultUserCondition: UniversalCondition = {
  id: "adult_user",
  type: "EVALUATION",
  subject: "user.age",
  operator: "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL",
  reference: 18,
  metadata: {
    description: "User must be 18 or older"
  }
};

// Complex nested condition
const eligibleUserCondition: UniversalCondition = {
  id: "eligible_user",
  type: "EVALUATION",
  subject: "",
  operator: "AND",
  reference: null,
  children: [
    {
      id: "age_check",
      type: "EVALUATION", 
      subject: "user.age",
      operator: "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL",
      reference: 18
    },
    {
      id: "email_verified",
      type: "VALIDATION",
      subject: "user.emailVerified", 
      operator: "EQUALS",
      reference: true
    },
    {
      id: "subscription_active",
      type: "EVALUATION",
      subject: "user.subscription.status",
      operator: "EQUALS", 
      reference: "active"
    }
  ],
  combinator: "AND",
  metadata: {
    description: "User eligible for premium features"
  }
};

Serialization and Storage

Universal conditions are fully serializable:

// Store in database
const serialized = JSON.stringify(eligibleUserCondition);
await database.conditions.create({ data: serialized });

// Load and execute
const loaded = JSON.parse(serialized) as UniversalCondition;
const result = await conditionEngine.evaluate(loaded, userContext);

// Share between services
await messageQueue.publish('condition-updated', {
  conditionId: loaded.id,
  definition: loaded
});

Parser & Translator Layer

The Bridge Architecture

Our parser and translator layer acts as the bridge between any input format and any output format:

// Universal workflow
const condition = parseInput(userInput);     // Any input format
const sqlQuery = translateToSQL(condition);  // Any output format

Parser Architecture

interface ConditionParser<T> {
  parse(input: T): UniversalCondition;
  validate(input: T): ValidationResult;
  getMetadata(): ParserMetadata;
}

// UI Builder Parser
class UIBuilderParser implements ConditionParser<UICondition> {
  parse(uiCondition: UICondition): UniversalCondition {
    return {
      id: generateId(),
      type: "EVALUATION",
      subject: uiCondition.field,
      operator: this.mapOperator(uiCondition.operator),
      reference: uiCondition.value,
      metadata: {
        description: uiCondition.label,
        tags: ["ui-generated"]
      }
    };
  }
  
  private mapOperator(uiOperator: string): string {
    const mapping = {
      "equals": "EQUALS",
      "contains": "CONTAINS",
      "greater_than": "GREATER_THAN",
      "less_than": "LESS_THAN"
    };
    return mapping[uiOperator] || uiOperator.toUpperCase();
  }
}

// SQL Parser
class SQLParser implements ConditionParser<string> {
  parse(sqlWhere: string): UniversalCondition {
    const ast = this.parseSQLWhere(sqlWhere);
    return this.convertASTToUniversal(ast);
  }
  
  private parseSQLWhere(whereClause: string): SQLExpression {
    // Use SQL parser library to build AST
    return sqlParser.parse(whereClause);
  }
  
  private convertASTToUniversal(ast: SQLExpression): UniversalCondition {
    // Convert SQL AST to universal format
    // Handle AND, OR, comparison operators, etc.
  }
}

Translator Architecture

interface ConditionTranslator<T> {
  translate(condition: UniversalCondition): T;
  optimize(output: T): T;
  getMetadata(): TranslatorMetadata;
}

// SQL Translator
class SQLTranslator implements ConditionTranslator<string> {
  translate(condition: UniversalCondition): string {
    if (condition.children) {

      this.translate(child)
    );
    
    const combinator = condition.combinator || "AND";
    return `(${childClauses.join(` ${combinator} `)})`;
  }
  
  private mapOperator(universalOperator: string): string {
    const mapping = {
      "EQUALS": "=",
      "GREATER_THAN": ">",
      "LESS_THAN": "<",
      "CONTAINS": "LIKE",
      "IN": "IN"
    };
    return mapping[universalOperator] || universalOperator;
  }
}

// MongoDB Translator
class MongoTranslator implements ConditionTranslator<object> {

      "LESS_THAN": "<", 
      "CONTAINS": ".includes"
    };
    return mapping[universalOperator] || universalOperator;
  }
}

Usage Examples

// Parse from different sources
const uiCondition = uiParser.parse(userFormData);
const sqlCondition = sqlParser.parse("age > 18 AND status = 'active'");
const yamlCondition = yamlParser.parse(configFile);

// All become universal format
console.log(uiCondition);  // UniversalCondition
console.log(sqlCondition); // UniversalCondition  
console.log(yamlCondition); // UniversalCondition

// Translate to different targets
const sqlQuery = sqlTranslator.translate(uiCondition);
const mongoQuery = mongoTranslator.translate(uiCondition);
const reactCode = reactTranslator.translate(uiCondition);

console.log(sqlQuery);    // "age > 18 AND status = 'active'"
console.log(mongoQuery);  // { $and: [{ age: { $gt: 18 } }, { status: 'active' }] }
console.log(reactCode);   // "user.age > 18 && user.status === 'active'"

Real-World Examples

E-Commerce Platform Integration

Consider an e-commerce platform that needs to implement complex customer segmentation:

The Challenge

// Marketing wants: "Premium customers who haven't purchased in 30 days"
// This needs to work across:
// - Frontend customer dashboard (React filtering)
// - Email campaign system (JSON rules)  
// - Database analytics (SQL queries)
// - Push notification targeting (GraphQL)

Our Solution

Step 1: Define Universal Condition

const premiumCustomerSegment: UniversalCondition = {
  id: "premium_inactive_customers",
  type: "EVALUATION",
  subject: "",
  operator: "AND", 
  reference: null,
  children: [
    {
      id: "premium_tier",
      type: "EVALUATION",
      subject: "customer.subscription.tier",
      operator: "EQUALS",
      reference: "premium"
    },
    {
      id: "last_purchase_date", 
      type: "EVALUATION",
      subject: "customer.lastPurchaseDate",
      operator: "BEFORE",
      reference: "30_DAYS_AGO"
    },
    {
      id: "account_active",
      type: "EVALUATION", 
      subject: "customer.status",
      operator: "EQUALS",
      reference: "active"
    }
  ],
  combinator: "AND",
  metadata: {
    description: "Premium customers who haven't purchased recently",
    tags: ["marketing", "customer-segmentation"]
  }
};

Step 2: Use Across All Systems

// Frontend React component
const ReactFilter = () => {
  const filterCode = reactTranslator.translate(premiumCustomerSegment);
  const filteredCustomers = customers.filter(customer => 
    eval(filterCode) // In production, use safer evaluation
  );
  
  return <CustomerList customers={filteredCustomers} />;
};

// Backend SQL analytics
const sqlQuery = sqlTranslator.translate(premiumCustomerSegment);
const analyticsQuery = `
  SELECT customer_id, email, last_purchase_date 
  FROM customers 
  WHERE ${sqlQuery}
`;

// Email campaign JSON
const emailRules = emailCampaignTranslator.translate(premiumCustomerSegment);
const campaignConfig = {
  name: "Premium Customer Winback",
  targeting: emailRules,
  template: "winback_premium"
};

// GraphQL push notifications
const gqlVariables = graphqlTranslator.translate(premiumCustomerSegment);
const pushNotificationQuery = `
  query GetTargetCustomers($where: CustomerWhereInput!) {
    customers(where: $where) {
      id
      pushToken
      preferences
    }
  }
`;

Workflow Automation Platform

The Challenge

// Business rule: "Auto-approve orders under $500 from verified customers"
// Must work in:
// - Order processing pipeline (Node.js)
// - Approval workflow engine (YAML config)
// - Audit logging system (SQL)
// - Real-time dashboard (React)

Our Solution

const autoApprovalRule: UniversalCondition = {
  id: "auto_approve_small_orders",
  type: "EVALUATION",
  subject: "",
  operator: "AND",
  reference: null,
  children: [
    {
      id: "order_amount_check",
      type: "EVALUATION",
      subject: "order.total", 
      operator: "LESS_THAN",
      reference: 500
    },
    {
      id: "customer_verified",
      type: "VALIDATION",
      subject: "order.customer.verified",
      operator: "EQUALS", 
      reference: true
    },
    {
      id: "payment_method_valid",
      type: "VALIDATION",
      subject: "order.payment.status",
      operator: "EQUALS",
      reference: "valid"
    }
  ],
  combinator: "AND"
};

// Node.js order processor
const processOrder = async (order: Order) => {
  const shouldAutoApprove = await conditionEngine.evaluate(
    autoApprovalRule, 
    { order }
  );
  
  if (shouldAutoApprove) {
    await approveOrder(order);
    await audit.log("auto_approved", { orderId: order.id });
  } else {
    await sendForManualReview(order);
  }
};

// YAML workflow config
const workflowYaml = yamlTranslator.translate(autoApprovalRule);
/*
conditions:
  all:
    - field: "order.total"
      operator: "less_than" 
      value: 500
    - field: "order.customer.verified"
      operator: "equals"
      value: true
*/

// SQL audit queries
const auditSql = sqlTranslator.translate(autoApprovalRule);
const auditQuery = `
  SELECT order_id, customer_id, total, approved_at
  FROM order_approvals  
  WHERE approval_type = 'auto' 
    AND ${auditSql}
`;

// React dashboard
const DashboardWidget = () => {
  const [orders, setOrders] = useState([]);
  
  const autoApprovedOrders = orders.filter(order => {
    return conditionEngine.evaluateSync(autoApprovalRule, { order });
  });
  
  return (
    <div>
      <h3>Auto-Approved Orders</h3>
      <OrderTable orders={autoApprovedOrders} />
    </div>
  );
};

Getting Started

Installation

npm install universal-conditional-engine
# or
yarn add universal-conditional-engine
# or  
pnpm add universal-conditional-engine

Quick Start

import { 
  ConditionEngine, 
  UniversalCondition,
  SQLTranslator,
  ReactTranslator
} from 'universal-conditional-engine';

// Create a simple condition
const userAgeCondition: UniversalCondition = {
  id: "user_age_check",
  type: "EVALUATION", 
  subject: "user.age",
  operator: "GREATER_THAN",
  reference: 18,
  metadata: {
    description: "User must be over 18"
  }
};

// Execute the condition
const engine = new ConditionEngine();
const isAdult = await engine.evaluate(userAgeCondition, {
  user: { age: 25 }
});
console.log(isAdult); // true

// Translate to SQL
const sqlTranslator = new SQLTranslator();
const sqlWhere = sqlTranslator.translate(userAgeCondition);
console.log(sqlWhere); // "user.age > 18"

// Translate to React
const reactTranslator = new ReactTranslator();
const reactCondition = reactTranslator.translate(userAgeCondition);
console.log(reactCondition); // "user.age > 18"

Building Complex Conditions

// Create a complex nested condition
const eligibilityCondition: UniversalCondition = {
  id: "user_eligibility",
  type: "EVALUATION",
  subject: "",
  operator: "AND",
  reference: null,
  children: [
    {
      id: "age_check",
      type: "EVALUATION",
      subject: "user.age", 
      operator: "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL",
      reference: 18
    },
    {
      id: "location_check", 
      type: "EVALUATION",
      subject: "user.country",
      operator: "IN", 
      reference: ["US", "CA", "UK"]
    },
    {
      id: "subscription_or_trial",
      type: "EVALUATION",
      subject: "",
      operator: "OR",
      reference: null,
      children: [
        {
          id: "has_subscription",
          type: "EVALUATION",
          subject: "user.subscription.active",
          operator: "EQUALS",
          reference: true
        },
        {
          id: "in_trial",
          type: "EVALUATION", 
          subject: "user.trial.active",
          operator: "EQUALS",
          reference: true
        }
      ],
      combinator: "OR"
    }
  ],
  combinator: "AND"
};

// Execute
const isEligible = await engine.evaluate(eligibilityCondition, {
  user: {
    age: 25,
    country: "US", 
    subscription: { active: true },
    trial: { active: false }
  }
});
console.log(isEligible); // true

Using with Different Parsers

import { UIBuilderParser, YAMLParser, JSONLogicParser } from 'universal-conditional-engine';

// Parse from UI builder format
const uiParser = new UIBuilderParser();
const uiCondition = uiParser.parse({
  field: "user.age",
  operator: "greater_than", 
  value: 18,
  label: "Must be adult"
});

// Parse from YAML config
const yamlParser = new YAMLParser();
const yamlCondition = yamlParser.parse(`
conditions:
  field: user.age
  operator: greater_than
  value: 18
`);

// Parse from JSON Logic
const jsonLogicParser = new JSONLogicParser();
const jsonCondition = jsonLogicParser.parse({
  ">": [{"var": "user.age"}, 18]
});

// All result in the same universal format
console.log(uiCondition);    // UniversalCondition
console.log(yamlCondition);  // UniversalCondition  
console.log(jsonCondition);  // UniversalCondition

Advanced Task Workflows

import { TaskExecutionEngine, Task } from 'universal-conditional-engine';

// Define a multi-step workflow
const userOnboardingTasks: Task[] = [
  {
    id: "validate_email",
    action: async (email: string) => {
      const isValid = await validateEmailFormat(email);
      if (!isValid) throw new Error("Invalid email format");
      return { email, validated: true };
    }
  },
  
  {
    id: "check_existing_user", 
    dependencies: ["validate_email"],
    action: async (emailData: any) => {
      const exists = await checkUserExists(emailData.email);
      if (exists) throw new Error("User already exists");
      return { ...emailData, isNew: true };
    }
  },
  
  {
    id: "create_user_account",
    dependencies: ["check_existing_user"],
    action: async (userData: any) => {
      const user = await createUser(userData);
      return { ...userData, userId: user.id };
    }
  },
  
  {
    id: "send_welcome_email",
    dependencies: ["create_user_account"], 
    action: async (accountData: any) => {
      await sendWelcomeEmail(accountData.email);
      return { ...accountData, emailSent: true };
    }
  },
  
  {
    id: "setup_default_preferences",
    dependencies: ["create_user_account"],
    action: async (accountData: any) => {
      await setupUserPreferences(accountData.userId);
      return { ...accountData, preferencesSet: true };
    }
  }
];

// Execute with full observability
const taskEngine = new TaskExecutionEngine({ maxConcurrency: 3 });
const results = await taskEngine.execute(userOnboardingTasks);

console.log(results); // Map of all task results

└── Memory: <100MB per workflow

Optimization Strategies

1. Lazy Evaluation

// Only evaluate what's necessary
const result = await engine.evaluate(condition, context, {
  shortCircuit: true,  // Stop on first false in AND chains
  lazyLoading: true    // Load context data only when needed
});

2. Condition Caching

const engine = new ConditionEngine({
  enableCaching: true,
  cacheSize: 10000,        // LRU cache size
  cacheTTL: 300000        // 5 minute TTL
});

// Subsequent evaluations of same condition are cached

3. Batch Processing

// Evaluate multiple conditions against same context
const results = await engine.evaluateBatch([
  condition1,
  condition2, 
  condition3
], context);

4. Parallel Task Execution

const engine = new TaskExecutionEngine({
  maxConcurrency: 20,              // Increase for CPU-bound tasks
  enableDynamicConcurrency: true,  // Auto-adjust based on system load
  affinityGroups: true             // Group related tasks
});

Scaling Considerations

Horizontal Scaling

// Distribute conditions across multiple workers
const cluster = new ConditionCluster({
  workers: 4,
  shardingStrategy: "hash",  // or "round_robin"
  loadBalancer: "least_connections"
});

await cluster.evaluate(conditions, contexts);

Memory Management

const engine = new ConditionEngine({
  memoryLimit: "1GB",
  garbageCollection: {
    strategy: "aggressive",
    interval: 60000  // Clean up every minute
  },
  streaming: true    // Process large condition sets in chunks
});

Database Integration

// Efficiently store and retrieve conditions
const conditionStore = new ConditionStore({
  database: "postgresql://...",
  indexing: {
    byType: true,
    byTags: true,
    byUsage: true
  },
  compression: "gzip",
  partitioning: "by_date"
});

Architecture Principles

When contributing, please follow these principles:

Parser/Translator Pattern: All integrations must follow the parser → universal → translator pattern
Type Safety First: All new operators must provide compile-time type safety
Observable by Design: Include OpenTelemetry instrumentation for all new features
Performance Conscious: Benchmark all changes and maintain <1ms average evaluation time
Documentation Driven: All features must include examples and integration guides

Adding New Parsers

// 1. Implement the ConditionParser interface
class MyCustomParser implements ConditionParser<MyFormat> {
  parse(input: MyFormat): UniversalCondition {
    // Convert your format to universal structure
  }
  
  validate(input: MyFormat): ValidationResult {
    // Validate input format
  }
}

// 2. Add comprehensive tests
describe('MyCustomParser', () => {
  it('should parse simple conditions', () => {
    // Test cases
  });
});

// 3. Add to parser registry
ParserRegistry.register('my-format', MyCustomParser);

Adding New Translators

// 1. Implement the ConditionTranslator interface  
class MyCustomTranslator implements ConditionTranslator<MyOutputFormat> {
  translate(condition: UniversalCondition): MyOutputFormat {
    // Convert universal structure to your format
  }
  
  optimize(output: MyOutputFormat): MyOutputFormat {
    // Optimize the output for your target system
  }
}

// 2. Add comprehensive tests
describe('MyCustomTranslator', () => {
  it('should translate simple conditions', () => {
    // Test cases
  });
});

// 3. Add to translator registry
TranslatorRegistry.register('my-output', MyCustomTranslator);
