Multiple rules from a single JSON

[fgbravo]

Hello there,

I'm currently trying to create a ruleset from a single json file with multiple rules, but I couldn't find how to properly do it.

From what I can tell from the docs, the json file should be like this:

{
    "name": "SpeedUp",
    "desc": "When testcar is speeding up we keep increase the speed.",
    "salience": 10,
    "when": ...,
    "then": [
        ...
    ]
}

But what if I have multiple rules for this file? Is there a top level definition, like:

{
    "rules": [
          {
              "name": "SpeedUp",
              "desc": "When testcar is speeding up we keep increase the speed.",
              "salience": 10,
              "when": ...,
              "then": [
                  ...
              ]
          },
          {
              "name": "SpeedUp",
              "desc": "When testcar is speeding up we keep increase the speed.",
              "salience": 10,
              "when": ...,
              "then": [
                  ...
              ]
          }
     ]
}

Thanks in advance and sorry if it's a stupid question.

Update: --------------------------------------------

I found a possible workaround, where I create a struct of the following type:

type JSONRules struct {
	Rules []pkg.GruleJSON `json:"rules"`
}

I unmarshal my rules.json into this struct, then I marshal it again using only the rules, like this:

jsonData, err := ioutil.ReadFile("rules.json")
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}
var rules JSONRules
err = json.Unmarshal(jsonData, &rules)
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}

jb, err := json.Marshal(rules.Rules)
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}

ruleset, err := pkg.ParseJSONRuleset(jb)
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}

bs := pkg.NewBytesResource([]byte(ruleset))

This worked, but not sure if it's the right way to do it.

If you a creating a ruleset(multiple rules) i think the right way to do it is just pass in an array

So basically like this

[
          {
              "name": "SpeedUp",
              "desc": "When testcar is speeding up we keep increase the speed.",
              "salience": 10,
              "when": ...,
              "then": [
                  ...
              ]
          },
          {
              "name": "SpeedUp",
              "desc": "When testcar is speeding up we keep increase the speed.",
              "salience": 10,
              "when": ...,
              "then": [
                  ...
              ]
          }
     ]

This doesn't seem to work. I agree that this seems to be the most reasonable way to do it.
