SimpleFeatures

This gem was design to just one thing and do it well. (me thinks)

This gem is an overly simple implementation of feature flagging. The reason for that was, I found it easier to write a gem and learn how feature flagging works as opposed to learning from one of the existing feature gems.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'simple_features'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install simple_features

Usage

Basic usage

this can be assigned any where in code as

features = SimpleFeatures::Features.new( { feature_a: true, feature_a: false } )

puts "feature_a" if features.feature_a?
puts "feature_b" if features.feature_b?

Via Config file

features = SimpleFeatures::Features.load_config('config/simple_features.yml')

example config file

production:
  feature_one: true
  feature_two: false
  feature_three: true

puts features.feature_one?
>> true

puts features.feature_two?
>> false

puts features.feature_three?
>> true

Rails & Rails Helpers

Rails only needs to have the config file in config/simple_features.yml

rails generate simple_features

this will drop a template config: config/simple_features.yml

if you want to use the generator to create with feature names do the following

rails generate simple_features --features new_tool old_tool new_idea

puts features.new_idea?
>> true

examples

within Rails Views

<body>
<%= link_to 'New Feature', new_feature_path if features.new_feature? %>
</body>

“it’s simple” using simple features wrap around debugging coding (dont do this , its an example )

logger.debug "some aweomse words!" if features.debugging?

Tests

Some!. “it’s simple...” ok you got me I should write MOAR! tests.
