CloudBees Feature Management is a secure feature management solution for the enterprise.
> Accelerate development and minimize the risk of deploying new code with simple to create feature flags, controlled rollouts, advanced target groups & deployment rules.
Please see the detailed instructions in our docs on how to [add CloudBees Feature Management to your project](https://docs.cloudbees.com/docs/cloudbees-feature-management/).
Getting started guide, use cases, examples and videos can be found at [CloudBees Feature Management documentation](https://docs.cloudbees.com/docs/cloudbees-feature-management/).
CloudBees Feature Management JavaScript SSR SDK for web applications that use server side rendering. Define and use simple and advanced feature flags, static and computed custom properties in code. Control your application features via CloudBees Feature Management dashboard.
```
npm i rox-ssr --save
```
This package includes TypeScript definitions. Import and use with full type safety:
```typescript
import {RoxString, RoxNumber, Flag, Rox} from 'rox-ssr';
```
Obtain an application key by registering at [CloudBees Unify](https://cloudbees.io).
```javascript
import {RoxString, RoxNumber, Flag, Rox} from 'rox-ssr';
const appSettingsContainer = {
shouldShowWelcome: new Flag(),
textColor: new RoxString('red', ['green', 'blue']),
textSize: new RoxNumber(15, [20, 45])
};
const onRoxReady = () => {
if (appSettingsContainer.shouldShowWelcome.isEnabled()) {
const color = appSettingsContainer.textColor.getValue()
const size = appSettingsContainer.textSize.getValue()
const div = document
.createElement('div')
.textContent('Hello world!')
.setAttribute('style', `color: ${color}; font-size: ${size}px`)
const body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]
body.appendChild(div)
}
};
Rox.register('settingsNamespace', appSettingsContainer);
Rox.setup('<app key>', {
configurationFetchedHandler: onRoxReady
});
```
In order to ensure the consistency of feature flags between the server and the web clients,
the CloudBees Feature Management configuration can easily be sent to the clients.
React example, assuming you already have initialized Rox. Add this to the server-side code, within the `<head>` tag:
```javascript
import {Rox} from 'rox-ssr';
// ...
// Your component render() method
render() {
return (
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript' dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: `window.rolloutData = ${JSON.stringify(Rox.rolloutData)};` }} />
<head>
</html>)
}
```
The SDK will automatically use the data inside `window.rolloutData` instead of fetching the configuration from CloudBees Feature Management servers.
Override the default configuration by providing predefined configuration preset for `Rox.setup`.
For example:
```javascript
import {Rox} from 'rox-ssr';
/*
- roxOptions.distinctId
- roxOptions.version
- roxOptions.configurationFetchedHandler
*/
const roxOptions = {
distinctId: 'sessionDistinctId',
version: '1.0',
configurationFetchedHandler: () => {}
};
Rox.setup('<app key>', roxOptions);
```
When running in the browser, you can override flags manually using a built-in UI debug utility that can be activated by invoking `Rox.showOverrides()`.
Running it will display a UI element that allows to explicitly set values of flags.
Available UI location of the UI element:
- `'top left'`
- `'top right'`
- `'bottom left'`
- `'bottom right' (default)`
