Installation & Setup

Requirements

Maven

Add rulii-spring to your pom.xml. It transitively brings in the core rulii library, so you don't need to declare it separately.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.rulii</groupId>
    <artifactId>rulii-spring</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

You also need Spring Boot's autoconfigure starter on the classpath (typically already present in any Spring Boot project):

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>

Gradle

implementation 'org.rulii:rulii-spring:1.1.0'
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter'

Minimal Application

Once the dependency is on the classpath, Spring Boot auto-configures the rule engine. Add @RuleScan to tell it where your rules live:

import org.rulii.spring.annotation.RuleScan;

@SpringBootApplication
@RuleScan(scanBasePackages = "com.example.rules")
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

That's it. On startup, rulii-spring will scan the specified packages for classes annotated with @Rule, register them as Spring beans, and wire up all nine core beans (covered in the next section).
