What are @algolia/client-abtesting's main functionalities?

Create an A/B Test

This feature allows you to create a new A/B test by specifying the variants, traffic distribution, and end date. The code sample demonstrates how to initialize the A/B testing client and create a test with two variants.

const algoliasearch = require('algoliasearch');
const client = algoliasearch('YourApplicationID', 'YourAdminAPIKey');
const abTesting = client.initABTesting();

const abTest = {
  name: 'my-ab-test',
  variants: [
    { index: 'indexA', trafficPercentage: 50, description: 'Variant A' },
    { index: 'indexB', trafficPercentage: 50, description: 'Variant B' }
  ],
  endAt: '2023-12-31T00:00:00Z'
};

abTesting.addABTest(abTest).then(({ abTestID }) => {
  console.log('A/B Test created with ID:', abTestID);
});

Get an A/B Test

This feature allows you to retrieve the details of an existing A/B test by its ID. The code sample shows how to fetch and log the details of a specific A/B test.

const algoliasearch = require('algoliasearch');
const client = algoliasearch('YourApplicationID', 'YourAdminAPIKey');
const abTesting = client.initABTesting();

const abTestID = 12345;

abTesting.getABTest(abTestID).then(abTest => {
  console.log('A/B Test details:', abTest);
});

Stop an A/B Test

This feature allows you to stop an ongoing A/B test by its ID. The code sample demonstrates how to stop a specific A/B test.

const algoliasearch = require('algoliasearch');
const client = algoliasearch('YourApplicationID', 'YourAdminAPIKey');
const abTesting = client.initABTesting();

const abTestID = 12345;

abTesting.stopABTest(abTestID).then(() => {
  console.log('A/B Test stopped');
});
