Limiting number of rules

[nikataus]

Hi,

I found a topic regarding this but wanted to check to see there is any configuration we can use to limit the number of Rules and Groups added. Thanks!

[mistic100]

Which topic ?

[nikataus]

Thanks for your reply. Here is what I found related to my question: https://github.com/mistic100/jQuery-QueryBuilder/issues/181

Is there any configuration or I need to go through events and change buttons class...?

[mistic100]

It's not configurable. Might think about it.

[nikataus]

I think it's a good idea. Also it might be configurable for all rules or number of rules per group. When the total limit is reached may be all add rule buttons become disabled, but also some logic should be applied to add groups buttons ... I'm also thinking that there should be some notification to the user that max rules limit is reached so it could be also that buttons are still enabled but when clicked error/message notification let the user know about the limit... Just some thoughts..

Proposal

Global parameters :

• max_groups
• max_rules
• max_depth (current allow_groups)
• max_rules_per_group

Group flags when using setRules (will not override global config) :

• max_rules
• max_groups
• max_depth

[nikataus]

Sounds good! When can we expect to have this new feature?

Thanks.

[mistic100]

I can't tell, sorry

[nikataus]

I understand, I appreciate your quick response!

👍 max_depth and max_rules_per_group would meet my needs. The other settings seem reasonable and comprehensive.
