Database activator for flagception
==================================

[](#database-activator-for-flagception)

Manage feature flags for [Flagception](https://packagist.org/packages/flagception/flagception) with a sql database (mysql, postgres, sqlite, ...)!

Download the library
--------------------

[](#download-the-library)

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this library:

```
$ composer require flagception/database-activator
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Just create a new `DatabaseActivator` instance and commit it to your feature manager:

```
// YourClass.php

class YourClass
{
    public function run()
    {
        $activator = new DatabaseActivator('pdo-mysql://user:secret@localhost/mydb');

        $manager = new FeatureManager($activator);
        if ($manager->isActive('your_feature_name')) {
            // do something
        }
    }
}

```

#### Connection

[](#connection)

This activator use [dbal](https://packagist.org/packages/doctrine/dbal) under the hood. We redirect the first argument directly to dbal - so you can use all known connection options (see [documentation](https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-dbal/en/2.7/reference/configuration.html)):

###### User and password

[](#user-and-password)

```
// YourClass.php

class YourClass
{
    public function run()
    {
        $activator = new DatabaseActivator([
            'dbname' => 'mydb',
            'user' => 'user',
            'password' => 'secret',
            'host' => 'localhost',
            'driver' => 'pdo_mysql'
        ]);

        // ...
    }
}

```

###### Connection string

[](#connection-string)

```
// YourClass.php

class YourClass
{
    public function run()
    {
        $activator = new DatabaseActivator('pdo-mysql://user:secret@localhost/mydb');

        // ...
    }
}

```

###### DBAL instance

[](#dbal-instance)

```
// YourClass.php

class YourClass
{
    public function run()
    {
        $activator = new DatabaseActivator($this->myDbalInstance);

        // ...
    }
}

```

#### Table

[](#table)

The activator will create the sql table if it does not already exist. The default table name is `flagception_features` which contains a `feature` and a `state` column. You can change the table and columns names by the second argument. It expects an array with values for `db_table`, `db_column_feature` and `db_column_state`. Setting one of the fields in optional.

Example:

```
// YourClass.php

class YourClass
{
    public function run()
    {
        $activator = new DatabaseActivator('pdo-mysql://user:secret@localhost/mydb', [
            'db_table' => 'my_feature_table',
            'db_column_feature' => 'foo_feature_name',
            'db_column_state' => 'foo_is_active'
        ]);

        // The activator create a table 'my_feature_table' with the column 'foo_feature_name' and 'foo_is_active'.

        $manager = new FeatureManager($activator);
        if ($manager->isActive('your_feature_name')) {
            // do something
        }
    }
}

```
