Bucketeer - OpenFeature JS provider

This is the official JS OpenFeature provider for accessing your feature flags with Bucketeer.

Bucketeer is an open-source platform created by CyberAgent to help teams make better decisions, reduce deployment lead time and release risk through feature flags. Bucketeer offers advanced features like dark launches and staged rollouts that perform limited releases based on user attributes, devices, and other segments.

In conjunction with the OpenFeature SDK you will be able to evaluate your feature flags in your web, React, and React Native applications.

[!WARNING] This is a beta version. Breaking changes may be introduced before general release.

For documentation related to flags management in Bucketeer, refer to the Bucketeer documentation website.

Installation (Web)

npm install @bucketeer/openfeature-js-client-sdk

[!NOTE] npm versions 7 and above will automatically install the required peer dependencies: @openfeature/web-sdk and @bucketeer/js-client-sdk. If you get an error about missing peer dependencies, please install them manually:

npm install @openfeature/core @openfeature/web-sdk @bucketeer/js-client-sdk

Usage (Web)

Configuration

Use defineBKTConfig to create your configuration.

import { defineBKTConfig } from '@bucketeer/openfeature-js-client-sdk';

const config = defineBKTConfig({
  apiEndpoint: 'BUCKETEER_API_ENDPOINT',
  apiKey: 'BUCKETEER_API_KEY',
  featureTag: 'FEATURE_TAG',
  appVersion: '1.2.3',
  fetch: window.fetch,
})

See our documentation for more SDK configuration.

Initialization

Initialize and set the Bucketeer provider to OpenFeature.

import { OpenFeature } from '@openfeature/web-sdk';
import { defineBKTConfig, BucketeerProvider } from '@bucketeer/openfeature-js-client-sdk';

const config = defineBKTConfig({
  apiEndpoint: 'BUCKETEER_API_ENDPOINT',
  apiKey: 'BUCKETEER_API_KEY',
  featureTag: 'FEATURE_TAG',
  appVersion: '1.2.3',
  fetch: window.fetch,
})

const initEvaluationContext = {
  targetingKey: 'USER_ID',
  app_version: '1.2.3',
}
await OpenFeature.setContext(initEvaluationContext)
const provider = new BucketeerProvider(config)
await OpenFeature.setProviderAndWait(provider)

Evaluate a feature flag

After the provider is set and the provider's status is ClientProviderEvents.Ready, you can evaluate a feature flag using the OpenFeature client.

const client = OpenFeature.getClient();

// boolean flag
const flagValueBool = client.getBooleanValue('my-feature-flag', false);

// string flag
const flagValueStr = client.getStringValue('my-feature-flag', 'default-value');

// number flag
const flagValueNum = client.getNumberValue('my-number-flag', 0);

// object flag
const flagValueObj = client.getObjectValue('my-object-flag', {});

More details can be found in the OpenFeature Web SDK documentation.

Update the Evaluation Context

The evaluation context allows the client to specify contextual data that Bucketeer uses to evaluate feature flags. The targetingKey is the user ID (Unique ID) and cannot be empty.

You can update the evaluation context with the new attributes if the user attributes change.

const newEvaluationContext = {
  targetingKey: 'USER_ID',
  app_version: '2.0.0',
  age: 25,
  country: 'US',
}
await OpenFeature.setContext(newEvaluationContext)

[!WARNING] Changing the targetingKey is not supported in the current implementation of the BucketeerProvider.

To change the user ID, the BucketeerProvider must be removed and reinitialized.

await OpenFeature.clearProviders()
await OpenFeature.clearContext()

// Reinitialize the provider with new targetingKey
const newEvaluationContext = {
  targetingKey: 'USER_ID_NEW',
  app_version: '2.0.0',
  age: 25,
  country: 'US',
}

const config = defineBKTConfig({
  apiEndpoint: 'BUCKETEER_API_ENDPOINT',
  apiKey: 'BUCKETEER_API_KEY',
  featureTag: 'FEATURE_TAG',
  appVersion: '1.2.3',
  fetch: window.fetch,
})

await OpenFeature.setContext(newEvaluationContext)
const provider = new BucketeerProvider(config)
await OpenFeature.setProviderAndWait(provider)
