Types

type AppliedConstraint

type AppliedConstraint struct {
	Variable   Variable
	Constraint Constraint
}

AppliedConstraint values compose a single Constraint with the Variable it applies to.

func (AppliedConstraint) String

func (a AppliedConstraint) String() string

String implements fmt.Stringer and returns a human-readable message representing the receiver.

type Constraint

type Constraint interface {
	String(subject Identifier) string
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

Constraint implementations limit the circumstances under which a particular Variable can appear in a solution.

func AtMost

func AtMost(n int, ids ...Identifier) Constraint

AtMost returns a Constraint that forbids solutions that contain more than n of the Variables identified by the given Identifiers.

func Conflict

func Conflict(id Identifier) Constraint

Conflict returns a Constraint that will permit solutions containing either the constrained Variable, the Variable identified by the given Identifier, or neither, but not both.

func Dependency

func Dependency(ids ...Identifier) Constraint

Dependency returns a Constraint that will only permit solutions containing a given Variable on the condition that at least one of the Variables identified by the given Identifiers also appears in the solution. Identifiers appearing earlier in the argument list have higher preference than those appearing later.

func Mandatory

func Mandatory() Constraint

Mandatory returns a Constraint that will permit only solutions that contain a particular Variable.

func Prohibited

func Prohibited() Constraint

Prohibited returns a Constraint that will reject any solution that contains a particular Variable. Callers may also decide to omit an Variable from input to Solve rather than apply such a Constraint.

type DefaultTracer

type DefaultTracer struct{}

func (DefaultTracer) Trace

func (DefaultTracer) Trace(_ SearchPosition)

type DuplicateIdentifier

type DuplicateIdentifier Identifier

func (DuplicateIdentifier) Error

func (e DuplicateIdentifier) Error() string

type Identifier

type Identifier string

Identifier values uniquely identify particular Variables within the input to a single call to Solve.

func IdentifierFromString added in v0.18.0

func IdentifierFromString(s string) Identifier

IdentifierFromString returns an Identifier based on a provided string.

func (Identifier) String

func (id Identifier) String() string

type LoggingTracer

type LoggingTracer struct {
	Writer io.Writer
}

func (LoggingTracer) Trace

func (t LoggingTracer) Trace(p SearchPosition)

type NotSatisfiable

type NotSatisfiable []AppliedConstraint

NotSatisfiable is an error composed of a minimal set of applied constraints that is sufficient to make a solution impossible.

func (NotSatisfiable) Error

func (e NotSatisfiable) Error() string

type Option

type Option func(s *solver) error

func WithInput

func WithInput(input []Variable) Option

func WithTracer

func WithTracer(t Tracer) Option

type SearchPosition

type SearchPosition interface {
	Variables() []Variable
	Conflicts() []AppliedConstraint
}

type Solver

type Solver interface {
	Solve(context.Context) ([]Variable, error)
}

func New

func New(options ...Option) (Solver, error)

type Tracer

type Tracer interface {
	Trace(p SearchPosition)
}

type Variable added in v0.21.0

type Variable interface {
	// Identifier returns the Identifier that uniquely identifies
	// this Variable among all other Variables in a given
	// problem.
	Identifier() Identifier
	// Constraints returns the set of constraints that apply to
	// this Variable.
	Constraints() []Constraint
}

Variable values are the basic unit of problems and solutions understood by this package.
