Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

A 'session & DB driver' for Laravel Pennant for feature flags pre- and post-user authentication.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Laravel 10 or higher
- PHP 8.1 or higher
- [Pennant 1.6](https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/pennant) or higher

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require aladler/laravel-pennant-session-and-db-driver
```

Add the driver to your `config/pennant.php` file:

```
'stores' => [

    'session_and_database' => [
        'driver' => 'session_and_database',
        'table' => 'features',
    ],

],
```

Register the driver using Pennant's `extend` method (this can be done in the `AppServiceProvider`'s `boot` method)

```
public function boot(): void
{
    Feature::extend('session_and_database', function (){
        return new SessionAndDatabaseDriver(
            app()['db'],
            app()['events'],
            config(),
            [],
            app()['session']
        );
    });
}
```

If you wish this driver to be the default driver, change the `default` value in `config/pennant.php` to `session_and_database`.

```
'default' => env('PENNANT_STORE', 'session_and_database'),
```

or put it in your .env file

```
PENNANT_STORE=session_and_database

```

Your User model (or any other Authenticatable) must implement the `Aladler\LaravelPennantSessionAndDbDriver\Contracts\UserThatHasPreRegisterFeatures` interface.

```
class User extends Authenticable implements UserThatHasPreRegisterFeatures
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can activate features for guests and after authentication, the feature will be persisted in the database. Or if a feature is activated when a user is logged in, if they log out (or the session times out in the same device), the feature will still be active for them. This allows, for example, to a/b tests features on the registration flow and keep the same experience after registration is completed.
