Feature rollout management for Node.js built on Redis

npm install node-rollout --save

// configuration.js

  // 1% of regular users
  id: {
    percentage: 1

  // All users with the company email
  employee: {
    percentage: 100,
    condition: function (val) {

    }
  },
  // 50% of users in San Francisco
  geo_sf: {
    percentage: 50,
    condition: function (val) {
      return geolib.getDistance([val.lat, val.lon], [37.768, -122.426], 'miles') < 7
    }

// A typical Express app

API Options

rollout.get(key, uid, opt_values)

• key: String The rollout feature key. Eg "new_homepage"
• uid: String The identifier of which will determine likelyhood of falling in rollout. Typically a user id.
• opt_values: Object optional A lookup object with default percentages and conditions. Defaults to {id: args.uid}
• returns Promise

rollout.get('button_test', 123)
  .then(function () {
    render('blue_button')
  })
  .otherwise(function () {
    render('red_button')
  })

rollout.get('another_feature', 123, {
  employee: '[e-mail]'
})
  .then(function () {
    render('blue_button')
  })
  .otherwise(function () {
    render('red_button')
  })

rollout.handler(key, flags)

• key: String The rollout feature key
• flags: Object
• flagname: String The name of the flag. Typically id, employee, ip, or any other arbitrary item you would want to modify the rollout
  • percentage: NumberRange from 0 - 100. Can be set to a third decimal place such as 0.001 or 99.999. Or simply 0 to turn off a feature, or 100 to give a feature to all users
  • condition: Function a white-listing method by which you can add users into a group. See examples.

rollout.handler('admin_section', {
  // 0% of regular users. You may omit `id` since it will default to 0
  id: {
    percentage: 0
  },
  // All users with the company email
  employee: {
    percentage: 100,
    condition: function (val) {
      return val.match(/@company-email\.com$/)
    }
  }
})

rollout.update(key, flags)

• key: String The rollout feature key
• flags: Object mapping of flagname:String to percentage:Number
• returns Promise

rollout.update('new_homepage', {
  id: 33.333,
  employee: 50,
  geo_sf: 25
})
.then(function () {
  // values have been updated
})

rollout.mods(flagname, callback)

• flagname: String the rollout feature key
• callback: function a callback function that returns the flags, their names, and values

rollout.mods('new_homepage', function (mods) {
  flags.employee == 100
  flags.geo_sf == 50.000
  flags.id == 33.333
})

rollout.flags()

rollout.flags() == ['new_homepage', 'other_secret_feature']
