yii2-abtest
===========

[](#yii2-abtest)

A simple extension for writing A/B Tests in Yii2.

This extension does not include the hooks for various programs, but does allow you to `list()` so you can quickly add it to your analytics code.

Installing
----------

[](#installing)

Simply include it from composer:

```
php ./composer.phar require sammaye/yii2-abtest:"@stable"

```

Adding it to your configuration
-------------------------------

[](#adding-it-to-your-configuration)

Easiest thing is to just show an example of my configuration:

```
'test' => [
	'class' => 'sammaye\abtest\Test',
	'filter' => [
		'rules' => [
			[
				'allow' => false,
				'roles' => ['staff']
			]
		]
	],
	'tests' => [
		[
			'name' => 'Beta Search',
			'values' => ['old', 'new'],
			'default' => 'new'
		]
	]
],

```

The configuration breaks down into two parameters:- `filter` and `tests`.

**Only `tests` is required.**

`filter` allows you to use the `AccessControl` like you would on any controller and provide a set of rules whereby the tests should not take effect.

When an `'allow' => false` filter is matched the test will return the `default` parameter from the test you are looking at and will not not record it in `$_SESSION`.

This way, when you come to `list()` at the end of the page to push onwards for analytics, these tests **will not appear** in that list.

Using it
--------

[](#using-it)

Once it is fully configured you can just use it to detect which path a user takes:

```
Yii::$app->test->value('Beta Search')

```

This function will return either `old` or `new` depending on whether I am a staff member or lady random chooses me.

In order to add it to your analytics code you need to list all active tests and their values:

```
Yii::$app->test->list()

```

This will then print out a list of (for me):

```
[
    'Old Search' => [
    	'name' => 'Old Search',
    	'value' => 'old' // active
    	// custom data could be housed
    	// here from the configuration like "goal"
    ]
]

```

So, the key is name of the test and the value is the configuration object but with `values` replaced with only the active `value`.
