Featureflow Angular Service

Get your Featureflow account at featureflow.io

Installation

Using NPM

$ npm install --save featureflow-angular

Get Started

1. add FeatureflowAngularModule to app NgModule.

   import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
   import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
   import { FeatureflowAngularModule } from 'featureflow-angular';
   //...
   @NgModule({
     declarations: [
      //...
     ],
     imports: [
       BrowserModule,
       FeatureflowAngularModule // FeatureflowAngularModule added
     ],
     providers: [],
   })
   class MainModule {}

   Use

   import { Component } from '@angular/core';
   import { FeatureflowAngularService } from 'featureflow-angular';
    
   @Component({
       //...
       template: `
       <div *ngIf="featureflowService.evaluate('my-feature-key').isOn()">
           <h2>I will be seen when the feature is on</h2>
           <p>And this is some extra text</p>
       </div>
       <div *ngFor="let item of features | keyvalue">
             {{item.key}}:{{item.value}}
       </div>`
   })
   export class YourComponent {
     features: any;
     featureflow: any;
    
     constructor(
       private featureflowService: FeatureflowAngularService
     ) {           
           featureflowService.init(API_KEY, {id: 'uniqueUserId1'}, null);
           //or featureflowService.init(API_KEY);//creates a random userId
           this.features = featureflowService.getFeatures();
           this.featureflow = featureflowService.client();
     }
   }

2. That's it.

3. If you want to update your component when the evaluated feature changes in realtime, us featureChanged$ subscription from featureflowService

   import { ChangeDetectionStrategy, ChangeDetectorRef, Component, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
   import { Subscription } from 'rxjs';
    
   @Component({
       //...
       changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush // to make your app perform smooth and faster
   })
   export class YourComponent {
     features: any;
     featureflow: any;
     updateFeatures: Subscription = null;
    
     constructor(
       //...
       private ref: ChangeDetectorRef
     ) {
           // listen for the real time streaming changes
           this.updateFeatures = this.featureflowService.featureChanged$.subscribe(features => {
                 this.features = featureflowService.getFeatures(); // update features after feature change
                 this.ref.detectChanges(); // change detection in features is manually run 
           });
     }
    
     ngOnDestroy() {
       // unsubscribe to ensure no memory leaks
       this.updateFeatures.unsubscribe();
     }
   }

Example

Update the SDK key to match your JS Client Environment SDK Key in featureflow-angular-examaple/src/app/app.component.ts

    featureflowService.init('js-env-YOUR-KEY-HER', {id: '1'}, null);

Start the example project

cd projects/featureflow-angular-example
ng serve

Try toggling features in the featureflow dashboard for your project and environment.

then run the example

cd projects/featureflow-angular-example
ng serve

Publishing

npm run package
npm publish ./dist/featureflow-angular/featureflow-angular-xx.xx.xx.tgz
