Featurer
Easy feature flag for your project.
By default featurer
saves all the data in Redis, although you can create your own adapter.
Features
- Shipped with Redis support by default
- Fast
- Doesn't overload your main database
- Doesn't save data in your application's memory(don't lose it when restarting)
- Redis goodies :D
- Non-framework dependent
- Plug it wherever you want, Sinatra, Padrino, Rails, your own scripts...
- Create your own adapter
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'featurer'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install featurer
Usage
Configure your connection:
Featurer.configure(host: host, port: port)
or use the default localhost connection:
Featurer.init
Start using it:
Per user feature
For different users:
Featurer.register(:feature, [first_user_id, second_user_id, third_user_id])
or single:
Featurer.register(:feature, user_id)
Then request the enabled feature:
Featurer.on?(:feature, user_id)
To add more users later on:
Featurer.add(:feature, first_user_id)
Featurer.add(:feature, [second_user_id, third_user_id])
In order to remove a user from a feature:
Featurer.off(:feature, user_id)
Featurer.off(:feature, [first_user_id, second_user_id])
Global feature
Featurer.register(:feature, true)
Then request the enabled feature:
Featurer.on? :feature
Deleting features
Featurer.delete(:feature)
Create your own adapter
Just extend Featurer::Adapter
, add the basic methods and your are done! e.g
class TestAdapter < Featurer::Adapter
def prepare
# if defined this is called automatically
# in order to initialize your adapter
# e.g: @redis = Redis.new
end
def register(name, value = true)
# your logic
end
def on?(name, value = true)
# your logic
end
def add(name, value)
# your logic
end
def off(name)
# your logic
end
def delete(name)
# your logic
end
This will automatically register your adapter in the adapters list.
Also it will give it an id, in this case test
, is the lowercase class name without
the adapter keyword.
Then initialize your featurer
:
Featurer.configure(adapter: :test, custom: :option)
Your are ready to go! No need to call .init
