FeatureFlagBundle
, (*1)
The FeatureFlagBundle is a bundle to manage features flags in your Symfony applications., (*2)
â ïž You're currently reading the documentation for the next major version. Refer to the 2.x documentation to read the stable version documentation., (*3)
Compatibility
This bundle is tested with at least all maintained Symfony version., (*4)
Documentation
Install it
Install extension using composer:, (*5)
composer require novaway/feature-flag-bundle
If you don't use Flex, enable the bundle in your config/bundles.php
file:, (*6)
<?php
return [
// ...
Novaway\Bundle\FeatureFlagBundle\NovawayFeatureFlagBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];
Configuration
To configure and register a feature manager you need a factory service. You may also need to change some options to the factory., (*7)
# ...
novaway_feature_flag:
default_manager: default
managers:
default:
factory: 'novaway_feature_flag.factory.array'
options:
features:
my_feature_1: false
my_feature_2: true
my_feature3: '%env(bool:FEATURE_ENVVAR)%'
The factories that come with this bundle can be found in the table below., (*8)
Factory service id |
Options |
novaway_feature_flag.factory.array |
features |
Example configuration
# ...
novaway_feature_flag:
default_manager: default
managers:
default:
factory: novaway_feature_flag.factory.array
options:
features:
my_feature_1:
enabled: false
description: MyFeature1 description text
my_feature_2:
enabled: true
description: MyFeature2 description text
my_feature3:
enabled: '%env(bool:FEATURE_ENVVAR)%'
description: MyFeature3 description text
You can declare multiple managers. Multiple providers is useful if you want to use different storage providers or to isolate your features flags., (*9)
# ...
novaway_feature_flag:
default_manager: manager_foo
managers:
manager_foo:
factory: novaway_feature_flag.factory.array
options:
features:
my_feature_1:
enabled: false
description: MyFeature1 description text
my_feature_2:
enabled: true
description: MyFeature2 description text
my_feature3:
enabled: '%env(bool:FEATURE_ENVVAR)%'
description: MyFeature3 description text
manager_bar:
factory: novaway_feature_flag.factory.array
options:
features:
my_feature_4:
enabled: false
description: MyFeature4 description text
my_feature_5: []
my_feature_6: ~
my_feature_7: false
When several managers are defined, they are registered in the Symfony dependency injection container as services with the following naming convention: novaway_feature_flag.manager.<manager_name>
., (*10)
For example, the manager_bar
is accessible with the following service name: novaway_feature_flag.manager.manager_bar
., (*11)
Manager storage are also registered in the Symfony dependency injection container as services with the following naming convention: novaway_feature_flag.storage.<manager_name>
., (*12)
Use it as a service
The bundle adds a global novaway_feature_flag.manager
(also bind to FeatureManager
) service you can use in your PHP classes., (*13)
In the case you have defined several managers, the service use the ChainedFeatureManager
class to chain all declared managers., (*14)
use Novaway\Bundle\FeatureFlagBundle\Manager\FeatureManager;
// ...
class MyController extends Controller
{
public function myAction(FeatureManager $featureManager): Response
{
if ($featureManager->isEnabled('my_feature_1')) {
// my_feature_1 is enabled
}
if ($featureManager->isDisabled('my_feature_2')) {
// my_feature_2 is not enabled
}
// ...
}
}
In your Twig templates
You can also check a flag in your templates:, (*15)
{% if isFeatureEnabled('my_feature_1') %}
{% include 'feature1_template.html.twig' %}
{% endif %}
{% if isFeatureDisabled('my_feature_2') %}
{% include 'feature2_template.html.twig' %}
{% endif %}
In the routing configuration
The package allows you to restrict a controller access by adding some configuration in your routing definition., (*16)
# app/config/routing.yml
my_first_route:
path: /my/first/route
defaults:
_controller: AppBundle:Default:index
_features:
- { feature: my_feature_key, enabled: false } # The action is accessible if "my_feature_key" is disabled
my_second_route:
path: /my/second-route
defaults:
_controller: AppBundle:Default:second
_features:
- { feature: foo } # The action is accessible if "foo" is enabled ...
- { feature: bar, enabled: true } # ... and "bar" feature is also enabled
- { feature: feature-42, enabled: true, exceptionClass: Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\BadRequestHttpException } # will throw a BadRequestHttpException if "feature-42" is disabled
- { feature: feature-44, enabled: true, exceptionFactory: Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\BadRequestHttpExceptionFactory } # will use the BadRequestHttpExceptionFactory registered factory class to create the exception to be thrown
As a controller attribute
You can also restrict a controller access with attributes, two attributes are available:, (*17)
Novaway\Bundle\FeatureFlagBundle\Attribute\FeatureEnabled
Novaway\Bundle\FeatureFlagBundle\Attribute\FeatureDisabled
#[FeatureEnabled(name: "foo")]
class MyController extends Controller
{
#[FeatureEnabled(name: "foo", exceptionClass: BadRequestHttpException::class)]
public function annotationFooEnabledAction(): Response
{
return new Response('MyController::annotationFooEnabledAction');
}
#[FeatureDisabled(name: "foo", exceptionFactory: MyExceptionFactory::class)]
public function annotationFooDisabledAction(): Response
{
return new Response('MyController::annotationFooDisabledAction');
}
}
Implement your own storage provider
- First your need to create your storage provider class which implement the
Novaway\Bundle\FeatureFlagBundle\Storage\StorageInterface
interface
- Register it in the Symfony dependency injection container
- Specify the storage you want to use in a manager configuration
novaway_feature_flag:
manager:
manager_name:
storage: your.custom.service.name
options:
# arguments need to create the storage service
When you create a storage, the static method create
is called to create the storage instance., (*18)
