WP Feature Flags by Kernl.us

This is the WordPress client library for Kernl feature flags. It makes using feature flags easy and adds some WordPress specific performance optimizations., _(*1)

Installation

The best way to install the library is with Composer., _(*2)

composer require kernl/wp-feature-flags

Usage

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// The feature flag product key.  This can be found in the Kernl web app
// in the "Feature Flags" menu.
$kernlFeatureFlagProductKey = '58cb023bc9689c1fe811615d';

// The user identifier is how Kernl identifies the user requesting flags.
// This should be unique for every user.
$userIdentifier = 'jack@kernl.us';

$kff = new kernl\WPFeatureFlags($kernlFeatureFlagProductKey, $userIdentifier);

// This says "For the product defined above, does this flag exists,
// and if so, is it active for the given user?".
if ($kff->active('GITHUB_ON_OFF')) {
    add_action('admin_notices', 'feature_flag_active');
}

function feature_flag_active() {
    ?>
    <div class="notice notice-success is-dismissible">
        <p>Great work!  The feature flag is active.</p>
    </div>
    <?php
}

Performance Optimizations

This library makes some small performance optimizations by storing flag data for users as transients. The default time length is 5 minutes, so your flag state will become eventually consistent., _(*3)
