Usage

Configuration Files

• Publish the Laravel Flagsmith configuration file using the vendor:publish Artisan command. The flagsmith configuration file will be placed in your config directory (Use --force to overwrite your existing clearly config file):
  • php artisan vendor:publish --tag="flagsmith" [--force]

All options are fully documented in the configuration file

User

It's advised to add the interface Clearlyip\LaravelFlagsmith\Contracts\UserFlags to your user model. This will give you the ability to access flags directly from your user object.

You can add the following trait Clearlyip\LaravelFlagsmith\Concerns\HasFlagss to your user model to fulfill the requirements of UserFlags

During initial login user flags are synced through a queue which keeps them as up to date as possible

Get All Flags for a User

$user = Auth::user();
$flags = $user->getFlags();

Check if flag is enabled for a user

An optional second parameter can be added as the default if the flag does not exist

$user = Auth::user();
$flags = $user->isFlagEnabled('foo');

Get a Flag value for a User
