JSS Rule Engine

I'm actively working on developing JSS Rule Engine module that would enable to re-use Sitecore rule-engine in NextJS applications.

It's reusing the rules field that exists in Sitecore XM and is exposed through Experience Edge, and allows to run Sitecore rules on client-side or Vercel edge.

I believe this module could be used by the community for marketing automation and personalization.
