This package gives you a quick and dirty way to use feature flags in Laravel 5+. It doesn't provide configuration by user, nor is it set up for A/B tests. It's a simple on/off switch.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Install the package with Composer:

```
$ composer require JTGrimes/laravel-simple-featureflag
```

You'll need to update the providers array in `config/app.php`with the service provider for this package:

```
'providers' => [
    ...
    JTGrimes\FeatureFlag\ServiceProvider::class,
];
```

Finally, you'll need to publish the configuration file: You can publish the migration with:

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="JTGrimes\FeatureFlag\ServiceProvider"
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The default configuration file is shown below. The array keys are the names of the features that you're using feature flags for and the values are true/false based on whether the feature is enabled. (My convention is to set a FEATURE\_\* .env variable to 'on' or 'off', but any expression which is truthy will work.) Any feature which is not found in the config file will default to being enabled.

```
return [
    'something' => (env('FEATURE_SOMETHING', 'on') == 'on'),
    'something_else' => (env('SOME_OTHER_FEATURE', 'on') == 'on'),
    'one_more' => false,
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The package provides a helper function. To determine whether a feature is enabled, you can call the `feature()` function from anywhere in your code.

```
   $permitAccess = feature('name');
```

I often find myself using this function in middleware to prevent access to pages which aren't available yet ...

```
        if (!feature('v2')) {
            if (str_contains($request->getUri(), 'v2')) {
                abort(Response::HTTP_NOT_FOUND);
            }
        }
        return $next($request);
```

There are also helpers for your Blade views:

```
@ifFeature ('test')
    Feature on
@else
    Feature off
@endif
```

`@else` is optional, but you must include `@endif` to close the if statement.
