# features-bundle
This Symfony bundle provides a way of managing features within a project. A common use-case is to have a certain feature only active under certain condition. Examples would be that you want to activate a feature when the use has a certain role, or when you are not in a production environment (think of testing).

With this bundle you can configure features to be active or inactive. Using resolvers you decide when a feature is active or not.

Requirements:
- PHP 7.3 or higher
- Symfony 4.2 or higher

Recommended installation is via composer: `composer require yannickl88/features-bundle`.

After that, you need to register the bundle in the kernel of your application:

```php
request_stack = $request_stack;
}

/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function isActive(array $options = []): bool
{
// Feature is inactive when there is no request
if (null === $request = $this->request_stack->getMasterRequest()) {
return false;
}

// $options contains ["beta", "on"] for the 'beta' feature tag
list($key, $expected_value) = $options;

return $request->get($key) === $expected_value;
}
}
```
Now we can start using the feature in our code. So if I want to check for a feature I can inject it as follows:
```yml
services:
app.some.service:
class: App\Some\Service
arguments:
- '@Yannickl88\FeaturesBundle\Feature\Feature'
tags:
- { name: features.tag, tag: beta }
```
Notice here that we do not inject the feature directly, but tag the service. The bundle will replace the feature for you. So you can use it as follows in your code:
```php
namespace App\Some;

use Yannickl88\FeaturesBundle\Feature\Feature;

class Service
{
private $feature;

public function __construct(Feature $feature)
{
$this->feature = $feature;
}

public function someMethod(): void
{
if ($this->feature->isActive()) {
// do some extra beta logic when this feature is active
}
}
}
```
So if I now add `?beta=on` to my URL. The feature will trigger.

__Note:__ If you remove the tag, it will inject a deprecated feature. This deprecated feature will trigger a warning when the `isActive` is used so you will quickly see where unused feature are used.

# Twig
If it also possible to check a feature in your twig templates. Simply use the `feature` function to check if a feature is enabled.

```twig
{% if feature("beta") %}
{# do some extra beta logic when this feature is active #}
{% endif %}
```

# Advanced Topics
It is possible to configure multiple resolvers per feature tag. You can simply keep adding more in the `config.yml`. So in the example we can extend it to:
```yml
features:
tags:
beta:
request: ["beta", "on"]
other: ~
more: ["foo"]
```
All resolvers must now resolve to `true` in order for this feature to be active. This is usefull if you want to check for multiple conditions.

Furthermore, if you want to have multiple resolvers where only one needs to resolve to `true`, you can use the chain resolver. This can be done as follows:
```yml
features:
tags:
beta:
chain:
request: ["beta", "on"]
other: ~
more: ["foo"]
```
Notice here we have as resolver `chain` and under this we have your config as before.
