Feature flags
=============

[](#feature-flags)

This is a basic Laravel 5 package for implementing feature flags.

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

[](#installation)

First, pull in the package through Composer.

```
composer require vestd/feature-flags
```

And then, if using Laravel 5, include the service provider within `app/config/app.php`.

```
'providers' => [
    Vestd\FeatureFlags\FeatureFlagServiceProvider::class
];
```

And finally publish the config file, this will be where you put the feature flag configuration

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Vestd\FeatureFlags\FeatureFlagServiceProvider"
```

Usage in Laravel
----------------

[](#usage-in-laravel)

Within your codebase use Laravel's dependency injection to load in the FeatureFlags container. You can then call the get method to retrieve a previously configured feature flag. If the flag doesn't exist an exception will be thrown.

```
public function index(FeatureCollection $featureCollection)
{
    $feature = $featureCollection->get('new_home_page');

    if ($feature->isEnabled()) {
        view('new_homepage');
    } else {
        view('homepage');
    }
}
```

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

[](#configuration)

In its simplest form the configuration file will allow to to specify a key and a true or false flag

```
  'feature_a' => true,
  'feature_b' => false,
```

The alternative method is an associative array for the keys, using this method you can specify which users or groups would have access to the feature

```
  'feature_c' => [
    'users'  => [123, 456],
    'groups' => ['admin', 'beta'],
  ]
```

If you use the more complex features you can check the state by using the following isEnabled checks

```
public function index(FeatureFlags $featureFlags)
{
    $feature = $featureFlags->get('new_home_page');

    if ($feature->isEnabledForUser(456) || $feature->isEnabledForGroup('admin')) {
        view('new_homepage');
    } else {
        view('homepage');
    }
}
```

Coming soon
-----------

[](#coming-soon)

The ability to configure the flags through a method other than a fixed config file, i.e. a database
