ts-toggle v2.0.1

ts-toggle

Install

In terminal, run:

npm i ts-toggle

Usage

Import

You can import the decorator :

import { Toggle } from 'ts-toggle';

You can also import the toggler class to manage your togglable classes :

// For the toggler class
import { Toggler } from 'ts-toggle';

// For the classes extending Togglable
import { Togglable } from 'ts-toggle';

Decorate methods

You can decorate any method to easily enable/disable them, based on the enable parameter. This parameter can either be a boolean or a function to be called at runtime. The decorator allows you to granularly toggle some methods in your app.

Examples:

class Demo {

	@Toggle(true)
	foo(): void {
		console.log('Enabled!');
	}

	@Toggle(enable)
	bar(): void {
		console.log('Disabled?');
	}

	enable(config): boolean {
		return config.feature.enabled;
	}
}

You can also provide an optional fallback function that will be called if feature is disabled.

Examples:

class Demo {

	@Toggle(false, (...args) => { console.log('Feature disabled.', { args }); })
	foo(...args): void {
		console.log('Enabled!');
	}
}

Manage (non-)Togglable classes with the Toggler

You can create one or multiple Togglers to handle your classes extending the Togglable class. This way, entire components can be toggled on and off easily.

Togglable class

A class extending Togglable can be managed through the Toggler. To instantiate such a class, it must be constructed with to parameters:

• isTogglable: Whether this class can be toggled on/off
• isEnabledByDefault: Whether this class should be toggled on by default or not

If isTogglable is set to false, the class will be enabled/disabled according to the value of isEnabledByDefault and won't be togglable after instantiation.

Your class can also use the method tg_ThrowIfDisabled to throw where needed (and an optional custom error message can be passed).

Examples:

class Feature extends Togglable {
	constructor(isTogglable: boolean, isEnabledByDefault: boolean) {
		super(isTogglable, isEnabledByDefault);
	}

	foo() {
		this.tg_ThrowIfDisabled('Feature is disabled');

		// ...do something if enabled
	}
}

Toggler

The Toggler is used to hold references of Togglable class you instantiate, so you can get their state and toggle them whenever you want at runtime.

If isTogglable is set to false, the class will be enabled/disabled according to the value of isEnabledByDefault and won't be togglable after instantiation.

Examples:

// FeatureA class extends Togglable, is togglable and enabled by default
const featureA = new FeatureA(true, true);

const toggler = new Toggler();

toggler.addTogglableRef('Feature A', featureA);

...

// Somewhere else in the code (for instance, admin methods)
getFeatureStates(): Record<string, boolean> {
	return toggler.getAllTogglableStates();
}

toggleFeature(feature: string): boolean {
	return toggler.toggleTogglableState(feature);
}
