feature_manager 1.1.2

Feature manager for developer preferences and experiments

Feature Manager for Flutter

[]

Feature manager allows you to hide some unfinished/secret feature from your users, or experiments, that can be managed from remote data source or local settings.

If you want to use A/B testing or feature toggling with Firebase Remote Config use Remote Config Feature Manager

Getting Started

• Installation
• Basic Usage

Installation

Add

feature_manager : ^lastest_version

to your pubspec.yaml, and run

flutter packages get

in your project's root directory.

Basic Usage

Create feature list

Create file where you will store your feature list and create features inside.

import 'package:feature_manager/feature_manager.dart';

class Features {
  static const Feature textFeature = Feature(
    key: 'dev-prefs-text-pref',
    title: 'Text pref',
    description: 'This is text preference',
    defaultValue: '',
    type: FeatureType.feature,
    valueType: FeatureValueType.text,
  );

  static const Feature booleanFeature = Feature(
    key: 'dev-prefs-bool-pref',
    title: 'Toggle pref',
    description: 'This is toggle preference',
    defaultValue: false,
    type: FeatureType.feature,
    valueType: FeatureValueType.toggle,
  );

  static const Feature doubleFeature = Feature(
    key: 'dev-prefs-double-pref',
    title: 'Number double pref',
    description: 'This is number double preference',
    defaultValue: 0.0,
    type: FeatureType.feature,
    valueType: FeatureValueType.doubleNumber,
  );
  static const Feature integerFeature = Feature(
    key: 'dev-prefs-integer-pref',
    title: 'Number integer pref',
    description: 'This is number integer preference',
    defaultValue: 0,
    type: FeatureType.feature,
    valueType: FeatureValueType.integerNumber,
  );

  static const List<Feature> values = <Feature>[
    Features.textFeature,
    Features.booleanFeature,
    Features.doubleFeature,
    Features.integerFeature,
  ];
}

Using FeatureManager check whether feature is enabled. Preferable way to create FeatureManager instance is to use DI (Provider, GetIt etc.).

...
final bool isEnabled =
context.read<FeatureManager>().isEnabled(Features.booleanFeature);
...

Modify feature values in DEBUG (develop) mode

To do it, you can simply open DeveloperPreferences screen in any part of your app. You should pass list of your features as parameter for this screen.

P.S. You should hide this button for production builds.

Navigator.of(context).push(
  MaterialPageRoute(
    builder: (BuildContext context) =>
      DeveloperPreferencesScreen(Features.values),
    ),
);
