    return;
  },
 
  ruleGenerator: function (callback) {

      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;
  }
}
