VariantRetriever
================

[](#variantretriever)

VariantRetriever is a minimalist package for feature flagging. It's fast, database free and idempotent library to choose over a set of variants.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

First of all, you need to define an Experiment with a name and it variants. Variant requires 2 arguments, a name and a rollout percentage (50% by default). Then create a variant retriever with this experiment and variants, and ask it to retrieve a variant for a resource (in the following code, it's for a user uuid).

```
$variantRetriever = new VariantRetriever();
$experiment = new Experiment('my-ab-test', ...[new Variant('control1'), new Variant('variant2')]);
$variantRetriever->addExperiment($experiment);

$affectedVariant = $variantRetriever->getVariantForExperiment(new Experiment('my-ab-test'), '77d8a1d5-97ba-42db-a4a7-3b9562f0ff22');

var_dump((string) $affectedVariant); // string(7) "variant2"
```

### Running the Test Suite

[](#running-the-test-suite)

VariantRetriever uses [Pest PHP](https://pestphp.com) as testing framework. Once you have all dependencies installed via `composer install`, you can run the test suite with:

```
.php phing tests
```

To obtain the code coverage report, you'll need to have `xdebug` installed. Then, you can run:

```
.php phing tests-coverage
```

And this will give you detailed information about code coverage.

What about speed
----------------

[](#what-about-speed)

VariantRetriever is fast. In our test, we ensure that the retriever is able to get 50 000 variants to randomly generate different identifiables in less than 1 second. Local dev machine can run 500 000 runs in less than a second.

What about randomness
