dependencies:
  fire_flag: ^1.1.1

Usage

Adding Firebase configuration file

Add the required GoogleServiceInfo.plist (for iOS) and google_services.json (for Android) respectively to your project. See here for further read about adding Firebase configuration file.

Firebase Remote Config Android integration

Enable the Google services by configuring the Gradle scripts as such.

1. Add the classpath to the [project]/android/build.gradle file.

dependencies {
  // Example existing classpath
  classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
  // Add the google services classpath
  classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.0'
}

2. Add the apply plugin to the [project]/android/app/build.gradle file.

// ADD THIS AT THE BOTTOM
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Note: If this section is not completed you will get an error like this:

java.lang.IllegalStateException:
Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process [package name].
Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context) first.

Note: When you are debugging on android, use a device or AVD with Google Play services. Otherwise you will not be able to use Firebase Remote Config and Fire Flag.

Use the plugin

Add the following imports to your Dart code:

import 'package:fire_flag/fire_flag.dart';

Initialize FireFlag:

static final features = Features(features: [
    Feature(
      name: 'brandOverview', // Feature name, must be the same with the name on (Firebase Remote Config console)[https://console.firebase.google.com/]. 
      isEnabled: false, // Feature status
    ),
  ]);

var fireFlag = FireFlag(
    features: features
    ),

You can now subscribe to feature flag subscription stream to get the latest status of the feature.

Features featureFlag = features;

fireFlag
    .featureFlagSubscription()
    .listen((updatedFeatureFlag) {
    featureFlag.value = updatedFeatureFlag;
});

Example

See the example application source for a complete sample app using the Fire Flag.
