Invoke a rule from code

[Ivan Wilson]

Is there any way to run a rule from within a JavaScript function?

Also, can I suggest adding an option to run the reverse of a rule using syntax like ~MyRuleName.

You can trigger a rule from code like described in the top of the rules tab:

spjs.dffs.triggerRule(["IndexOrFriendlyNameOfRule"]);

This will run the rule as “true”, but I’ll see what I can do about letting you trigger the reverse in a future version.

Thanks Alexander, I thought I had seen that option somewhere, but couldn’t remember where. Would it be worthwhile adding this to the user manual?

Is there a way to check the last execute status of a rule in code?

You find it in the rules tab if you expand the “Trigger rules manually” section.

To see the status of a rule in your custom code, you can use this snippet:

spjs.dffs.data.ruleIndexObj.YOUR_RULE_FRIENDLY_NAME_OR_INDEX
