Featurevisor is a solution for managing your feature flags, experiments, and remote config. It's built for developers, by developers.
It introduces a workflow that's fully git-based, where configuration is stored as YAMLs and changes are reviewed and merged via pull requests.
The workflow results into datafiles (JSON files), that contain your feature configurations. These datafiles can then be fetched by your applications and evaluated using Featurevisor SDKs.
More documentation available at https://featurevisor.com.
You are recommended to see a more detailed quick start guide here: https://featurevisor.com/docs/quick-start/.
The whole process can be broken down into 3 parts:
Install Featurevisor CLI globally (or use npx @featurevisor/cli):
$ npm install -g @featurevisor/cli
Initialize a new Featurevisor project:
$ mkdir my-featurevisor-project && cd my-featurevisor-project
$ featurevisor init
You can now create and manage your feature flags, experiments, and remote config in this directory expressed as YAMLs.
See the building block guides here:
- Attributes: building block for conditions
- Segments: conditions for targeting users
- Features: feature flags and variables with rollout rules
Once the project is ready, you can build your datafiles (JSON files containing configuration of your feature flags):
$ featurevisor build
You will find the output in dist directory, that you can upload to your CDN.
See further guides here:
- Building datafiles: how to build datafiles
- Deploying datafiles: how to deploy datafiles to your CDN
A fully functioning example for deploying with Cloudflare and GitHub Actions (for free) is available here.
You can now consume the datafiles from your CDN in your applications directly using Featurevisor SDKs.
For Node.js and browser environments, install the JavaScript SDK:
$ npm install --save @featurevisor/sdk
Now you can initialize the SDK with the URL of your datafile, and evaluate your feature flags:
import { createInstance } from "@featurevisor/sdk";
// Initialize the SDK
const sdk = createInstance({
datafileUrl: "https://cdn.yoursite.com/datafile.json",
onReady: () => console.log("Datafile has been fetched and SDK is ready"),
});
// Evaluate a feature flag
const isFeatureEnabled = sdk.getVariation(
// feature key
"my-feature",
// attributes
{
userId: "user-123",
country: "nl",
}
);Learn more about SDK usage here: https://featurevisor.com/docs/sdks/.
