Feature Toggle Service

The simplest solution for feature toggles in Javascript. Simple how it should be.

Why Feature toggle?

This is a common concept, but why use this directive instead solve it via server-side rendering?

The idea of this directive is make this process transparent and easier. So the main point is integrate this directive with other tooling process, such as:

• Server-side rendering;
• Progressive rendering;
• Any other that yoy like :)

You can integrate with WebSockets or handling this in a EventSourcing architecture. It's totally transparent for you and you can integrate easier in your application.

Assuming that you are using nvm, please run the commands inside this folder:

$ nvm install $(cat .nvmrc); # install required nodejs version
$ nvm use $(cat .nvmrc); # use nodejs version
$ npm install

In Windows, please install NodeJS using one of these options:

Via NVM Windows package: Dowload via this link. After that, run the commands:

FeatureToggleService

This service exposes a few different methods with which you can interact with feature toggle service.

featureToggleService.set(obj)

Adds the feature toggle configuration in your application. This information will be private and checked via featureToggleService.isOn(key) method.

featureToggleService.isOn(key, debug)

Checks if the feature toggle configuration has the string key value with true value. For bundle reasons if you want to check if the feature toggle is turned off, please use !featureToggleService.isOn(key). When debug param is passed as true and it's not NODE_ENV is not set to prod, it prints configuration, version and settings for debug purposes
