README

A comprehensive PHP library for Toggly feature management with native Laravel and WordPress support.

Features

• Full Feature Parity: Matches the functionality of the .NET Toggly.FeatureManagement library
• Signed Definitions: ECDSA signature verification for secure feature definitions
• Real-time Updates: WebSocket support for instant feature updates (with polling fallback)
• Usage Statistics: Automatic tracking of feature usage and user analytics
• Metrics Collection: Support for measurements, observations, and counters
• Snapshot Providers: Cache, database, and file-based snapshot storage
• Laravel Integration: Native Laravel service provider, facade, and middleware
• WordPress Plugin: Full WordPress plugin with admin interface and hooks
• PSR Standards: Built on PSR-4, PSR-11, PSR-16, PSR-18, and PSR-17

Installation

Composer

composer require toggly/feature-management-php

Quick Start

Laravel

1. Register the service provider in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Toggly\Laravel\ServiceProvider::class,
],

1. Publish the configuration:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=toggly-config

1. Configure in .env:

TOGGLY_APP_KEY=your-app-key
TOGGLY_ENVIRONMENT=Production
TOGGLY_USE_SIGNED_DEFINITIONS=false

1. Use in your code:

use Toggly\Laravel\Facades\Toggly;

// Check if feature is enabled
if (Toggly::isEnabled('new-checkout')) {
    return view('checkout.v2');
}

// With context
$enabled = Toggly::isEnabledFor('premium-feature', [
    'userId' => $user->id,
    'plan' => $user->plan
]);

// State change handler
Toggly::whenFeatureTurnsOn('new-api', function() {
    // Initialize new API
});

// Record usage
Toggly::recordUsage('feature-key');

// Record metrics
Toggly::measure('checkout-completed', 125.50);
Toggly::observe('active-users', 1500);
Toggly::incrementCounter('api-calls', 1);

1. Use middleware in routes:

Route::get('/new-feature', function () {
    return view('new-feature');
})->middleware('feature:new-feature');

WordPress

1. Install the plugin by copying to wp-content/plugins/toggly/

2. Activate the plugin in WordPress admin

3. Configure in Settings > Toggly:

   • App Key
   • Environment
   • Base URL (optional)
   • Use Signed Definitions (optional)

4. Use in templates:

<?php if (toggly_is_enabled('new-header')): ?>
    <?php get_template_part('header', 'new'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

1. Use shortcode:

[toggly_feature name="premium-content"]
    <!-- Premium content here -->
[/toggly_feature]

1. Use hooks in functions.php:

add_action('toggly_feature_turns_on', function($featureKey) {
    if ($featureKey === 'new-theme') {
        // Activate new theme
    }
});

Core Library Usage

Basic Usage

use Toggly\FeatureManagement\Config\TogglySettings;
use Toggly\FeatureManagement\Core\FeatureProvider;
use Toggly\FeatureManagement\Core\FeatureManager;
use Toggly\FeatureManagement\Http\TogglyHttpClient;

$settings = new TogglySettings([
    'app_key' => 'your-app-key',
    'environment' => 'Production',
]);

$httpClient = new TogglyHttpClient(/* PSR-18 client */, /* PSR-17 factory */, $settings->getBaseUrl());
$featureProvider = new FeatureProvider($settings, $httpClient, /* state service */);
$featureManager = new FeatureManager($featureProvider, /* usage stats */, /* secure provider */);

// Check feature
if ($featureManager->isEnabled('my-feature')) {
    // Feature is enabled
}

Snapshot Providers

Cache Provider (PSR-16)

use Toggly\FeatureManagement\Storage\SnapshotProviders\CacheSnapshotProvider;
use Toggly\FeatureManagement\Storage\SnapshotSettings;

$snapshotProvider = new CacheSnapshotProvider(
    $cache, // PSR-16 cache implementation
    new SnapshotSettings(['document_name' => 'toggly_features']),
    86400 // TTL in seconds
);

Database Provider (PDO)

use Toggly\FeatureManagement\Storage\SnapshotProviders\DatabaseSnapshotProvider;

$snapshotProvider = new DatabaseSnapshotProvider(
    $pdo, // PDO instance
    new SnapshotSettings(['document_name' => 'toggly_features'])
);

File Provider

use Toggly\FeatureManagement\Storage\SnapshotProviders\FileSnapshotProvider;

$snapshotProvider = new FileSnapshotProvider(
    '/path/to/snapshots',
    new SnapshotSettings(['document_name' => 'toggly_features.json'])
);

Configuration

TogglySettings

$settings = new TogglySettings([
    'app_key' => 'your-app-key',
    'environment' => 'Production',
    'base_url' => 'https://app.toggly.io/',
    'use_signed_definitions' => true,
    'allowed_key_ids' => ['key-id-1', 'key-id-2'],
    'refresh_interval' => 300, // 5 minutes
    'app_version' => '1.0.0',
    'instance_name' => 'server-1',
    'undefined_enabled_on_development' => false,
]);

Advanced Features

Feature State Change Handlers

$stateService = $container->get(FeatureStateServiceInterface::class);

// Register callback
$id = $stateService->whenFeatureTurnsOn('new-feature', function() {
    // Initialize feature
});

// Unregister
$stateService->unregisterFeatureStateChange('new-feature', $id);

Custom Metrics

$metricsService = $container->get(MetricsServiceInterface::class);

// Record measurement (aggregated over time)
$metricsService->measure('revenue', 1250.50);

// Record observation (point-in-time)
$metricsService->observe('active-users', 1500);

// Increment counter
$metricsService->incrementCounter('api-calls', 1);

Custom Context Provider

class MyContextProvider implements FeatureContextProviderInterface
{
    public function getContextIdentifier(): ?string
    {
        // Return unique user identifier
        return $this->getCurrentUserId();
    }

    // ... implement other methods
}

Architecture

The library follows a modular architecture:

• Core Library: Framework-agnostic core functionality
• Laravel Integration: Service provider, facade, middleware, and filters
• WordPress Plugin: Full plugin with admin interface

Core Components

• FeatureProvider: Fetches and manages feature definitions
• FeatureManager: Evaluates features with stats tracking
• FeatureStateService: Manages state change notifications
• UsageStatsProvider: Collects and sends usage statistics
• MetricsService: Collects custom metrics for experiments
• EcdsaSignatureVerifier: Verifies signed definitions
• JwkManager: Manages JSON Web Keys for signature verification

Snapshot Providers

Three snapshot provider implementations are available:

1. CacheSnapshotProvider: Uses PSR-16 cache (Redis, Memcached, etc.)
2. DatabaseSnapshotProvider: Uses PDO (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite)
3. FileSnapshotProvider: Uses file system storage

Development

Running Tests

composer test

Code Style

The project follows PSR-12 coding standards.
