Summary:
This commit revolutionizes our approach to handling ENUM metadata for
rule input structures by embedding this metadata directly within each
rule's definition. By leveraging the `EnumProvider` interface and
utilizing reflection, we've created a system where rules self-describe
their ENUM fields, enhancing the API's flexibility and maintainability.
The `GetRuleStruct` API endpoint is now capable of dynamically generating
responses that include both the input structure and ENUM options, directly
derived from the rule definitions themselves.
Key Changes:
- **Introduced `EnumProvider` Interface**:
Allows rule structs to define their own ENUM options, centralizing this
information within the rule implementations.
- **Enhanced Rule Descriptors**:
Rule descriptors are streamlined to focus on factory methods and input
struct types, with ENUM metadata being provided by the rules themselves
through the `EnumProvider` interface.
- **Dynamic ENUM Metadata Retrieval**:
The `GetRuleStruct` function dynamically extracts ENUM metadata from
rules that implement the `EnumProvider`, ensuring the API response
includes relevant ENUM options for frontend UI generation.
- **API Response Enhancement**:
Adjusted the API to provide a response that includes the rule's input
structure, possible ENUM values, and the rule instance representation,
all derived dynamically to support extensible and maintainable rule
definitions.
