Bucket Filter

A filtering library to present data that matches a series of conditional expressions

---

Bucket filter is a python library that allows creating multiple buckets each linked to a condition and having various data, each identified by a unique ID. It then allows for combining various buckets in a serious of conditinal operators and filters out those IDs that match a given expression.

• Currently supported operators is &(AND), ||(OR)
• The library currenly only supports Boolean expressions

Example

Lets say there are 3 buckets with conditions c1, c2, c3 as defined below

1. c1 –> id1, id2, id3
2. c2 –> id3, id4, id5
3. c3 –> id2, id3, id6

an expression

C = c1 & (c2 || c3)

would result in

==> C = (id1, id2, id3) & (id3, id4, id5 id2, id6)

==> C = (id2, id3)

NOTE

1. The library does not evaluate individual conditions, only joins the filters as defined by the expression
   • The library does an exact expression match, so if while registering one uses hasData=True, the library expects the same expression when evaluating
2. Standard evaluation rules apply, left to right, expressions in braces are done first
3. Elements in the bucket MUST have a accessible attribute id else will be evicted out of the bucket
