Specification pattern
=====================

[](#specification-pattern)

This is a very simple and extensible specification pattern implementation.

For its core API, it is basically a copy-paste of code found in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specification\_pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specification_pattern) and contains only the bare minimum code to make it functionnal.

It is intended to be used as a contract, for a DSL in a domain driven designed application. In business code, one should never use this library classes directly, but extend it for implementing its own specification.

You can also copy-paste this library content as well in the shared kernel of your application if you wish have no dependencies on the oustide world, code is voluntarily kept naive and small.
