express-feature-flag

Feature Flag system as an express.js middleware.

Installation

npm install express-feature-flag

Usage

app.use(require('express-feature-flag')({
  contextGenerator: function (req, callback) {
    callback(null, req.session); //do other queries if necessary
    return;
  },

  ruleGenerator: function (callback) {
    queryFeatureFlagDB(function (err, featureFlagRules) {
      if (err) {
        callback(err);
        return;
      }

      var rule, rules, _i, _len;

      rules = {};

      for (_i = 0, _len = featureFlagRules.length; _i < _len; _i++) {
        rule = featureFlagRules[_i];
        rules[rule.name] = parseRuleSpec(rule.rule);
      }

      callback(null, rules);
    })
  }
})); // returns a middleware function

###Middleware Options ####contextGenerator Function(req, callback) [optional] An asynchronous function to generate context which will then be used as an argument to feature flag rules.

If not supplied, context will be req.

####ruleGenerator Function(callback) [required] An asynchronous function to generate rules.

callback's first argument is error and second argument is rules. rules have to be an object whose names are the name of rules and values are functions that takes context and returns boolean.

rules Example:

{
  htmlEmail: function (context) {
    if (context.type === 'admin') {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
  }
}
