Major refactor — recursive descent parser, arithmetic, unary operators, and token system overhaul

New Features

• Arithmetic operations — Full support for math expressions with proper operator precedence: +, -, *, /, %. Parentheses can be used to override precedence. (2 + 3 * 4 == 14)
• String concatenation — The + operator now performs string concatenation when either operand is a string, and numeric addition otherwise. ("hello " + "world")
• Unary minus and logical NOT operators — Support for negation (-5), double negation (--5), and logical NOT (!false, !(1 == 2), !foo).
• Expression result API — Rule::result() returns the actual computed value of an expression (e.g., int(15) for 5 * 3), not just true/false.
• Syntax highlighter — A built-in custom syntax highlighter with customizable styles for token types.
• Duplicate regex modifier validation — Invalid or duplicate regex modifiers now throw an error.

Major Refactors & Improvements

• Recursive descent parser — Replaced the old parser with a proper recursive descent parser, improving correctness and maintainability.
• Token system simplification — Consolidated 27 token classes into a single GenericToken + TokenKind enum, drastically reducing complexity.
• Lexer streaming — Lexer::tokenize() converted from array-based to generator-based streaming for better memory efficiency.
• Eliminated TokenStream God object — Cleaned up the dependency tree by removing the monolithic TokenStream class.
• RuleEngineBuilder — Extracted dependency wiring from the God constructor in RuleEngine into a dedicated builder.
• Interpreter pattern in AstEvaluator — Replaced fragile match expressions with the Interpreter pattern for cleaner node evaluation.
• Consolidated InternalFunction/InternalMethod — Merged into a single InternalCallable DTO.
• Consolidated Token/TokenKind enums — Reduced duplication across token enums.
• Removed dead code — Cleaned up the Expression directory, EvaluableExpression, unused TokenIterator methods, and more.
• PSR-12 coding standard — Migrated from PSR-2 to PSR-12.

Bug Fixes

• Division by zero — Now properly handled in the evaluator instead of causing errors.
• String escape sequences — Fixed unescaping of escape sequences in TokenEncapsedString.
• AST cache not used — Fixed double parsing in Rule.php where the AST cache was never utilized.
• Infinite recursion — Fixed infinite recursion in Rule.php property hook.
• Lexer reentrancy — Fixed mutable state / reentrancy issue in the Lexer.
• FunctionRegistry performance — Eliminated unnecessary new instance creation on every function call.
• TokenCollection data structure — Replaced SplObjectStorage with ArrayObject to fix wrong data structure usage.
• Fragile method prefix fallback — Refactored fragile method prefix fallback loop in ObjectMethodCaller.
• Double evaluation — Eliminated double evaluation in isValid()/getError().
• Duplicated node evaluation — Fixed duplicated node evaluation logic in AstEvaluator.
• Stack-based token inspection — Replaced fragile $afterValue boolean with stack-based token inspection.

Dependency Updates

• Updated PHP requirement to >=8.5
• Updated phpunit/phpunit to ^13.1
• Updated mockery/mockery to ^1.6
• Updated squizlabs/php_codesniffer to ^4.0

Update for PHP 8.4

No new features, just prettier code

Release for PHP 8

Minor improvements

Release for PHP 8

This release doesn't add any new features, it just uses some of the new PHP 8 syntax.

Use version 0.6 if you're using PHP 7.

Add "not in" operator

Support for custom objects

This release adds the ability to call methods on objects, and use the result as part of the rule.

class User
{
    // ...

    public function points(): int
    {
        return 1337;    
    }
}

$variables = [
    'user' => new User(),
];

$rule = new Rule('user.points() > 300', $variables);
var_dump($rule->isTrue()); // bool(true)
