Business Rules

The Business Rules module is inspired on Rules module and allow site administrators to define conditionally actions execution based on events. It's based on variables and completely build for Drupal 8.

This module has a fully featured user interface to completely allow the site administrator to understand and create the site business rules.

It's also possible to extend it by creating new ReactsOn Events, Variables, Actions and Conditions via plugins.

Features

• Conditional event driven action execution
• If, then, else conditions
• Views result variable
• Loop action execution
• Custom form validations
• Custom form changes to make fields required, optional, read-only and hidden
• Dependent fields with multiple levels of dependency and multiple children per parent
• Explicity variables declaration
• Flowchat diagram to each business rule
• Extendable via plugins
• Full debug rule execution block
• Token integration
• Safe mode - thanks fatmarker for the suggestion
• Scheduled Actions
• Change between Form view mode / Form display

Integration

• Group module
• SMS Framekork

The Beta1 version comes with a really important functionality that is to allow the site builder to change the form view mode based on any condition. For example, if you have some field on the entity form that only can be filled by someone with a special role, all you need to do is to create a new view mode for the form, enable this field there and only display this form mode with this field for this role.

Safe mode

If for some reason you've created some rule that's put you in a bad situation, use the safe mode to disable all rules. To do that, include ?brmode=safe on the URL and disable the rule on the Business Rule configuration page.

Similar projects

• Rules: Although Business Rule's functionalities are very close Rules module, the main difference is the ability to handle form events, and that Business Rules is ready to be used on Drupal 8. This module was developed because of the need of use these functionalities in newer Drupal 8 projects. During the development of this module, we've also included some absent features on Rules such as flowchart diagram, explicitly declared variables, views interaction and form change actions.
• Conditional Fields: While It's possible to hide/show entity fields based on data in other fields by creating Rules, Actions, etc., there's quite a bit of set-up involved (even though it's still all on the Web UI). Unless you're already using this module's rules and actions, it would probably be better to use Conditional Fields as it has a nicer UX for this use case.
