Returns:
Type
void

(inner) bootStrapBusinessRules() → {void}

Captures all of the business rule string-to-function call map data in the rulesLibrary and migrates that data to the D-data structure. This is important now because we are going to allow the client to define their own business rules separate from the system defined business rules. So we need a way to merge all client defined and system defined business rules into one location. Then the rule broker will execute business rules from the D-data structure and not the rules library per-say. This will allow the system to expand much more dynamically and even be user-defined & flexible to client needs.

(inner) processRules(inputs, rulesToExecute) → {string|integer|boolean|object|function}

Parameters:
Name Type Description
inputs array.<(string|integer|boolean|object|function()), (string|integer|boolean|object|function())>

An array of inputs, inputData & inputMetaData. inputs[0] = inputData - The primary input data that should be processed by the business rule. inputs[1] = inputMetaData - Additional meta-data that should be used when processing the business rule.
