import module and include it in your app
var app = angular.module("app", [

configuring the provider
// configure flags
app.config(/*@ngInject*/function(FlagProvider){
FlagProvider.updateConfig({
prefix: "FLAG_", // You can alter the flag prefix that is used.
flags: ["address", "broker", "rental", "turbo_terms"] // these are flags that are enabled globally. So once a feature is complete you can add it flag here and it will be enabled.
});
});
For each of use in templates, you can add the service to the $rootScope
app.run( /*@ngInject*/ function(
$rootScope,
Flag
) {
// add FlagService instance to rootscope for easy access in templates.
$rootScope.flag = Flag;
});
Then in a template:
<div ng-if="flag.isActive('feature')">Your feature will appear here if the flag is active</div>
Enabling flags
While a feature is in development you can enable a feature by setting a local storage key to (Using the default configuration): FLAG_[FEATURE_NAME_IN_CAPS]: true;
So if you set: FLAG_VALIDATION: true in local storage, you would test in your application with:
Flag.isActive("validation");
As stated above, you can also set a flag in your config block. Eventually, you'll want to clean up your conditional code, but to make a feature live, you just sent its flag in the flag array.
app.config(/*@ngInject*/function(FlagProvider){
FlagProvider.updateConfig({
prefix: "FLAG_", // You can alter the flag prefix that is used.
flags: ["address", "broker", "terms"] // these are flags that are enabled globally. So once a feature is complete you can add it flag here and it will be enabled.
});
});
Accessing the provider before bootstrap
If you want to access the provider before the applications bootstrap, for instance to import ui-router configuration depending on a flag, your can access the provider like this:
var Config = /*@ngInject*/ function (
$stateProvider,
FlagProvider
) {
var Flag = FlagProvider.$get();
var flagActive = Flag.isActive("comm");
if(!flagActive) return false;
$stateProvider
.state(
...
module.exports = Config;
