Symfony FeatureFlagsBundle

The Bundle will allow you to implement Feature Flags to your Application. Please Note that there is no Interface available, so the Flags must be configured directly in Symfony-Configs.

Use Versions ^2.0 if Symfony 3.0 Support is wanted!
Use Versions ^4.0 if Symfony 4.2 Support is wanted!
Use Versions ^5.0 if Symfony 4.3 or 5.x Support is wanted!
Use Versions ^6.0 if Symfony 6.0 Support is wanted!
Use Versions ^6.1 if Symfony >6.1 Support is wanted!

Documentation

Setup

You can add the Bundle by running Composer on your shell or adding it directly to your composer.json

php composer.phar require dzunke/feature-flags-bundle:"^6.1"

"require" :  {
    "dzunke/feature-flags-bundle": "^6.1"
}

The Namespace will be registered by autoloading with Composer but to use the integrated features for symfony you have to register the Bundle.

# app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = [
        // [..]
        new DZunke\FeatureFlagsBundle\DZunkeFeatureFlagsBundle(),
    ];
}

Without any Configuration all Features will be enabled! But at this point you can start developing.

Usage

Service-Container

The simplest way to use the Bundle is to get the Container and request the state of a Feature. Note: Features that are not configured are enabled by default.

# src/AcmeBundle/Controller/IndexController.php
<?php

namespace AcmeBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        if ($this->get('dz.feature_flags.toggle')->isActive('FooFeature')) {
           // [...]
        }
        // [...]
    }
}

Twig

# src/AcmeBundle/Resources/views/Index/index.html.twig
{% if has_feature('FooFeature') %}
    <p>Lorem Ipsum Dolor ...</p>
{% endif %}

Argument-Usage

On every check you can give arguments to the check if you want to specify the check. The Arguments for a Flag can be definied by an array on the validation method. The Keys must be named like the condition itself. Please Note that if the Condition does not support the Arguments they would be ignored.

# src/AcmeBundle/Resources/views/Index/index.html.twig
{% if has_feature('FooBarFeature', {'device': 'tablet'}) %}
    <p>Lorem Ipsum Dolor ...</p>
{% endif %}

Creating a Condition

At first the Condition must be created. The Condition must implement the ConditionInterface. There is a general context available.

<?php
# src/AcmeBundle/FeatureFlags/Condition/Foo.php
namespace AcmeBundle\FeatureFlags\Condition;

use DZunke\FeatureFlagsBundle\Toggle\Conditions\AbstractCondition;
use DZunke\FeatureFlagsBundle\Toggle\Conditions\ConditionInterface;

class Foo extends AbstractCondition implements ConditionInterface
{
    public function validate($config, $argument = null)
    {
        // [..] Implement your Methods to Validate the Feature

        return true;
    }

    public function __toString()
    {
        return 'Foo';
    }
}

After the Class was created it must be defined as a Tagged-Service. With this Tag and the Alias the Condition would be loaded. At this point there is many space to extend the Condition by adding calls or arguments.

# src/AcmeBundle/Resources/config/services.yml
services:
    acme.feature_flags.condition.fo:
        class: DZunke\FeatureFlagsBundle\Toggle\Conditions\Foo
        calls:
            - [setContext, [@dz.feature_flags.context]]
        tags:
            -  { name: dz.feature_flags.toggle.condition, alias: foo }

Configuration

Example

d_zunke_feature_flags:
    flags:
        FooFeature: # feature will always be disabled
            default: false
        BarFeature: # feature will only be enabled for a list of special ClientIps
            conditions_config:
                ip_address: [192.168.0.1]
        BazFeature: # the feature will be enabled for the half of the users
            conditions_config:
                percentage:
                    percentage: 50
                    cookie: ExampleCookieForFeature
                    lifetime: 3600
        FooBarFeature:
            conditions_config:
                device:
                    tablet: "/ipad|playbook|android|kindle|opera mobi|arm|(^.*android(?:(?!mobile).)*$)/i"

Reference

d_zunke_feature_flags:
    # the default state to return for non-existent features
    default:              true
    # feature flags for the built system
    flags:
        # Prototype
        feature:
            # general active state for the flag - if conditions used it would be irrelevant
            default:              false
            # list of configured conditions which must be true to set this flag active
