Description
Controls determine what inventory is available to sell in a Virtual Catalog, applying buffers, exclusions and thresholds to positions. This bundle enables a Rule resolve and apply those controls consistently, and consolidates what would otherwise be many individual controls into fewer, wide-scope context-based ones. The Utility includes:- Applying Controls: resolve the controls that apply to a position and apply them in one call, returning the updated position and an audit of every change (
`ControlUtils`). - Standard Control Types: inclusion, exclusion, buffer (absolute and percentage), limit and threshold controls are applied in a defined order (
`ControlTypes`). - Context-Based Targeting: match positions by catalog, product, variant, location, category, network or the virtual position itself.
- Extensibility: add or override control types with custom control functions.
- Reduces redundancy by replacing many individual controls with fewer wide-scope, context-based ones
- Applies availability controls consistently wherever they are used
- Keeps rules lightweight by loading the required data and resolving controls
- Produces a full before/after audit of every applied control
- Extends to tenant-specific control types
