snitch-detective

Rust helper lib for performing value matching in snitch WASM functions.

For available matchers, look at the enums listed in snitch-protos.

Install

cargo add snitch-detective

Usage

```rust use snitch_detective::Detective;

fn main() { let detective = Detective::new();

let maybe_ip = "127.0.0.1".to_string();

let match_request = MatchRequest {
    data: "test".as_bytes().to_vec(),
    path: "field1.field2".to_string(),
    args: vec![maybe_ip],
    negate: false,
    type_: protobuf::EnumOrUnknown::from(MatchType::MATCH_TYPE_IP_ADDRESS),
    special_fields: Default::default(),
};


let result = detective.matches(&match_request).unwrap();
assert_eq!(result, true);

} ```

Note on regex

Regex-based matchers are currently slow because we have to compile the pattern on every call.

This will improve when we implement K/V functionality in SDK's.

The idea is that WASM funcs will be given the ability to GET/PUT items in cache, so detective would be wired up to accept a param that is a trait that allows working with the cache funcs.

If K/V trait is provided to detective - before compiling a regex pattern, it would first check if the cache already contains it. If yes, it'll use that, if not, it'll compile and put it in the cache.
