README

Scalar Equality Rule provides a simple, rule-based scalar value comparison implementation for the Aegisora ecosystem.

It is built on top of aegisora/rule-contract (https://github.com/Aegisora/rule-contract) and follows its strict validation architecture, ensuring consistent and predictable behavior across applications.

✨ Features

• 🔹 Lightweight and dependency-free (except rule contract)
• 🔹 Strict scalar comparison using ===
• 🔹 Supports both equality and inequality checks
• 🔹 Fully compatible with Aegisora validation pipeline
• 🔹 Strict Context → Result validation flow
• 🔹 No raw booleans — only structured results
• 🔹 Safe execution via base Rule abstraction
• 🔹 Convenient factory methods (createEqual, createNotEqual)
• 🔹 Built-in validation of input values

📦 Installation

composer require aegisora/scalar-equality-rule

🚀 Core Concept

This package implements scalar comparison validation:

• accepts a value via Context
• compares it to an expected scalar value
• uses strict comparison (===)
• returns a standardized Result

Supported values:

• scalar types (int, float, string, bool)
• null

Any non-scalar value will result in an exception.

🏗️ Basic Usage

✅ Equality check

use Aegisora\Rules\ScalarEqualityRule;
use Aegisora\RuleContract\Models\Context;

$result = ScalarEqualityRule::createEqual(42)->validate(Context::create(42));

if ($result->isValid()) {
    // values are equal
} else {
    // values are NOT equal
}

❌ Inequality check

use Aegisora\Rules\ScalarEqualityRule;
use Aegisora\RuleContract\Models\Context;

$result = ScalarEqualityRule::createNotEqual(42)->validate(Context::create(100));

if ($result->isValid()) {
    // values are NOT equal (as expected)
} else {
    // values are equal (unexpected)
}

🧩 Factory Methods

ScalarEqualityRule::createEqual($expectedValue);
ScalarEqualityRule::createNotEqual($expectedValue);

• $expectedValue — scalar value or null

⚠️ Validation Rules

Both expected value and input value must be:

• scalar (int, float, string, bool)
• or null

Otherwise, an exception will be thrown:

Aegisora\RuleContract\Exceptions\InvalidRuleContextException

🏛️ Architecture

This package relies on aegisora/rule-contract (https://github.com/Aegisora/rule-contract).

Validation flow:

1. validate() is called
2. Context is passed in
3. executeValidate() runs
4. Values are validated as scalar or null
5. Strict comparison (===) is performed
6. Result is returned

All logic is safely encapsulated within the base Rule abstraction.
