#toggle?(key, user, default = false) ⇒ Boolean

Calculates the value of a feature flag for a given user. At a minimum, the user hash should contain a :key .

For authenticated users, the :key should be the unique identifier for your user. For anonymous users, the :key should be a session identifier or cookie. In either case, the only requirement is that the key is unique to a user.

You can also pass IP addresses and country codes in the user hash.

Countries should be sent as ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes.

The user hash can contain arbitrary custom attributes stored in a :custom sub-hash:

Attribute values in the custom hash can be integers, booleans, strings, or lists of integers, booleans, or strings.

Examples:

Basic user hash

{:key => "[email protected]"}

More complete user hash

{:key => "[email protected]", :ip => "127.0.0.1", :country => "US"}

A user hash with custom attributes

{:key => "[email protected]", :custom => {:customer_rank => 1000, :groups => ["google", "microsoft"]}}

Parameters:

  • key (String) —

    the unique feature key for the feature flag, as shown on the LaunchDarkly dashboard

  • user (Hash) —

    a hash containing parameters for the end user requesting the flag

  • default=false (Boolean) —

    the default value of the flag

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    whether or not the flag should be enabled, or the default value if the flag is disabled on the LaunchDarkly control panel

#track(event_name, user, data) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Tracks that a user performed an event

Parameters:

  • event_name (String) —

    The name of the event

  • user (Hash) —

    The user that performed the event. This should be the same user hash used in calls to #get_flag?

  • data (Hash) —

    A hash containing any additional data associated with the event
