Constructor Details

#initialize(sdk_key, config = Config.default, wait_for_sec = 5) ⇒ LDClient

Creates a new client instance that connects to LaunchDarkly. A custom configuration parameter can also supplied to specify advanced options, but for most use cases, the default configuration is appropriate.

Parameters:

  • sdk_key (String) —

    the SDK key for your LaunchDarkly account

  • config (Config) (defaults to: Config.default) —

    an optional client configuration object

#close ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Releases all network connections and other resources held by the client, making it no longer usable

end

#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 #toggle?

  • data (Hash) —

    A hash containing any additional data associated with the event

def track(event_name, user, data)
  sanitize_user(user)
  @event_processor.add_event(kind: "custom", key: event_name, user: user, data: data)
end

#variation(key, user, default) ⇒ Object

Determines the variation of a feature flag to present to a 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.

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 —

    the default value of the flag

Returns:

  • the variation to show the user, or the default value if there’s an an error
