Rule Types

We currently support the following types of business rules:

Type	Description
Groovy rule	Runs a snippet of groovy code. This is the most flexible type of rule
Conditionally required rule	If an expression referencing a set of attributes is true, then attribute X is required
Dependent attribute rule	If attribute A meets condition, then attribute B is required
Uniqueness validation rule	Checks if all products across a channel have unique combination of values on a specified subset of its attributes

Builders for all types, except uniqueness validation, allow us to control:

Attribute type id	Type specific parameters
id	Rule ID that will show up in the error popup in PDX UI
categories	A list of categories that the rule applies to. If this list is empty, the rule will be applied globally for all categories.
execution	Determines how the rule is executed. The list of values is found in `BusinessRule.ExecutionEnum` and are: `CONTINUOUS` (default), `SUBMISSION`, `AUTOSUBMIT`, and `ALL`

Code Example:

BusinessRule rule = BusinessRuleBuilder.groovyRule("ID")
    .withCategories("categoryA", "categoryB")
    .withExecution(BusinessRule.ExecutionEnum.SUBMISSION)
    ... // add rule specific options here
    .build();
