react-native-flagsmith v4.0.1
Flagsmith Client
The SDK clients for web and React Native for https://flagsmith.com/. Flagsmith allows you to manage feature flags and remote config across multiple projects, environments and organisations.
Getting Started
For full documentation visit https://docs.flagsmith.com/clients/javascript/
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See running in production for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
Usage
npm i react-native-flagsmith --save
Retrieving feature flags for your project
import flagsmith from "react-native-flagsmith"; //Add this line if you're using flagsmith via npm
flagsmith.identify("flagsmith_sample_user");
flagsmith.init({
environmentID:"<YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_KEY>",
cacheFlags: true,
onChange: (oldFlags,params)=>{ //Occurs whenever flags are changed
const {isFromServer} = params; //determines if the update came from the server or local cached storage
//Check for a feature
if (flagsmith.hasFeature("myCoolFeature")){
myCoolFeature();
}
//Or, use the value of a feature
const bannerSize = flagsmith.getValue("bannerSize");
//Check whether value has changed
const bannerSizeOld = oldFlags["bannerSize"] && oldFlags["bannerSize"].value;
if (bannerSize !== bannerSizeOld) {
}
}
});
Initialisation options
See all available types here.
Property | Description | Required | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
environmentID: string | Defines which project environment you wish to get flags for. example ACME Project - Staging. | YES | null |
onChange?: (previousFlags:IFlags, params:IRetrieveInfo)=> void | Your callback function for when the flags are retrieved (flags,{isFromServer:true/false})=>{...} | YES | null |
onError?: (res:{message:string}) => void | Callback function on failure to retrieve flags. (error)=>{...} | null | |
asyncStorage?:any | Needed for cacheFlags option, used to tell the library what implementation of AsyncStorage your app uses, i.e. ReactNative.AsyncStorage vs @react-native-community/async-storage, for web this defaults to an internal implementation. | null | |
cacheFlags?: boolean | Any time flags are retrieved they will be cached, flags and identities will then be retrieved from local storage before hitting the API ` | | null | ||
enableAnalytics?: boolean | Enable sending flag analytics for getValue and hasFeature evaluations. | false | |
enableLogs?: boolean | Enables logging for key Flagsmith events | null | |
defaultFlags?: IFlags | Allows you define default features, these will all be overridden on first retrieval of features. | null | |
preventFetch?: boolean | If you want to disable fetching flags and call getFlags later. | false | |
state?: IState | Set a predefined state, useful for SSR / isomorphic applications. | false | |
api?: string | Use this property to define where you're getting feature flags from, e.g. if you're self hosting. | https://api.flagsmith.com/api/v1/ |
Available Functions
Property | Description |
---|---|
init(initialisationOptions)=> Promise<void> | Initialise the sdk against a particular environment |
hasFeature(key:string)=> boolean | Get the value of a particular feature e.g. flagsmith.hasFeature("powerUserFeature") // true |
getValue(key:string)=> string|number|boolean | Get the value of a particular feature e.g. flagsmith.getValue("font_size") // 10 |
getTrait(key:string)=> string|number|boolean | Once used with an identified user you can get the value of any trait that is set for them e.g. flagsmith.getTrait("accepted_cookie_policy") |
getState()=>IState | Retrieves the current state of flagsmith, useful in NextJS / isomorphic applications. flagsmith.getState() |
setTrait(key:string, value:string|number|boolean)=> Promise<IFlags> | Once used with an identified user you can set the value of any trait relevant to them e.g. flagsmith.setTrait("accepted_cookie_policy", true) |
setTraits(values:Record<string, string|number|boolean>)=> Promise<IFlags> | Set multiple traits e.g. flagsmith.setTraits({foo:"bar",numericProp:1,boolProp:true}) . Setting a value of null for a trait will remove that trait. |
incrementTrait(key:string, value:number)=> Promise<IFlags> | You can also increment/decrement a particular trait them e.g. flagsmith.incrementTrait("click_count", 1) |
startListening(ticks=1000:number)=>void | Poll the api for changes every x milliseconds |
stopListening()=>void | Stop polling the api |
getFlags()=> Promise<IFlags> | Trigger a manual fetch of the environment features, if a user is identified it will fetch their features. Resolves a promise when the flags are updated. |
identify(userId:string, traits?:Record<string, string|number|boolean>)=> Promise<IFlags> | Identify as a user, optionally with traits e.g. {foo:"bar",numericProp:1,boolProp:true} . This will create a user for your environment in the dashboard if they don't exist, it will also trigger a call to getFlags() , resolves a promise when the flags are updated. |
logout()=>Promise<IFlags> | Stop identifying as a user, this will trigger a call to getFlags() |
Notes on initialisation
identify
, setTrait
and setTraits
all trigger calls to getFlags
, which in turn hits the get flags endpoint. This is due to identities and traits affecting flags that are returned.
However, you can avoid these extra calls to get flags if you call these functions before flagsmith.init
.
