Flagger PHP

Requirement

PHP 7.1 or higher

Prerequisite

This SDK works with the Airship Microservice. Please refer to its documentation before proceeding.

Content

01 Installation

php composer.phar require airship/flagger

02 Key Concepts

In Flagger, feature flags control traffic to generic objects (called entities). The most common type for entities is User, but they can also be other things (i.e. Page, Group, Team, App, etc.). By default, all entities have the type User.

Entities can be represented by dicitionaries or by using the Entity class.

03 Configuring Flags

To configure Flagger, we would need to pass a new Client instance.

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

// Create an instance with an env key
$flagger = new Flagger\Flagger(new Flagger\Client\GuzzleClient('<env_key>'));

04 Usage

if ($flagger->flag('bitcoin-pay')->isEnabled(['id' => 5])) {
  // ...
}

// Define your entity
$entity = [
  'type' => 'User', // 'type' starts with a capital letter '[U]ser', '[H]ome', '[C]ar'. If omittied, it will default to 'User'
  'id' => '1234', // 'id' must be a string or integer
  'displayName' => 'ironman@stark.com', // must be a string. If omitted, the SDK will use the same value as 'id' (converted to a string)
];
// or
$entity = new Entity(1234, 'User', 'ironman@stark.com');

// The most compact form can be:
$entity = [
  'id' => 1234
];
// or
$entity = new Entity(1234);

// as this will translate into:
$entity = [
  'type' => 'User',
  'id' => '1234',
  'displayName' => '1234',
];

$flagger->flag('bitcoin-pay')->isEnabled($entity); // Does the entity have the feature 'bitcoin-pay'?
$flagger->flag('bitcoin-pay')->getTreatment($entity); // Get the treatment associated with the flag
$flagger->flag('bitcoin-pay')->isEligible($entity);
// Returns true if the entity can potentially receive the feature via sampling
// or is already receiving the feature.

// Note: It may take up to a minute for entities gated to show up on our web app.

Attributes (for complex targeting)

// Define your entity with an attributes dictionary of key-value pairs.
// Values must be a string, a number, or a boolean. nil values are not accepted.
// For date or datetime string value, use iso8601 format.
$entity = [
  'type' => 'User',
  'id' => '1234',
  'displayName' => 'ironman@stark.com',
  'attributes' => [
    't_shirt_size' => 'M',
    'date_created' => '2018-02-18',
    'time_converted' => '2018-02-20T21:54:00.630815+00:00',
    'owns_property' => true,
    'age' => 39,
  ],
];
// or
$entity = new Entity(
  1234,
  'User',
  'ironman@stark.com',
  [
    't_shirt_size' => 'M',
    'date_created' => '2018-02-18',
    'time_converted' => '2018-02-20T21:54:00.630815+00:00',
    'owns_property' => true,
    'age' => 39,
  ]
);

// Now in app.airshiphq.com, you can target this particular user using its
// attributes

Group (for membership-like cascading behavior)

// An entity can be a member of a group.
// The structure of a group entity is just like that of the base entity.
$entity = [
  'type' => 'User',
  'id' => '1234',
  'displayName' => 'ironman@stark.com',
  'attributes' => [
    't_shirt_size' => 'M',
    'date_created' => '2018-02-18',
    'time_converted' => '2018-02-20T21:54:00.630815+00:00',
    'owns_property' => true,
    'age' => 39,
  ],
  'group' => [
    'type' => 'Club',
    'id' => '5678',
    'displayName' => 'SF Homeowners Club',
    'attributes' => [
      'founded' => '2016-01-01',
      'active' => true,
    ],
  ],
];
// or
$group = new Entity(
  5678,
  'Club',
  'SF Homeowners Club',
  [
    'founded' => '2016-01-01',
    'active' => true,
  ]
);
$user = new Entity(
  1234,
  'User',
  'ironman@stark.com',
  [
    't_shirt_size' => 'M',
    'date_created' => '2018-02-18',
    'time_converted' => '2018-02-20T21:54:00.630815+00:00',
    'owns_property' => true,
    'age' => 39,
  ],
  $group
);

// Inheritance of values `isEnabled`, `getTreatment`, `getPayload`, and `isEligible` works as follows:
// 1. If the group is enabled, but the base entity is not,
//    then the base entity will inherit the values `isEnabled`, `getTreatment`, `getPayload`, and `isEligible` of the group entity.
// 2. If the base entity is explicitly blacklisted, then it will not inherit.
// 3. If the base entity is not given a variation in rule-based variation assignment,
//    but the group is and both are enabled, then the base entity will inherit
//    the variation of the group's.


// You can ask questions about the group directly (use the `is_group` flag):
$entity = [
  'isGroup' => true,
  'type' => 'Club',
  'id' => '5678',
  'displayName' => 'SF Homeowners Club',
  'attributes' => [
    'founded' => '2016-01-01',
    'active' => true,
  ],
];

$flagger->flag('bitcoin-pay')->isEnabled($entity);
