Future

  • Fix error regarding failed Hash merge on features[environment] caused by code not being safe for multi-threading

  • Write tests to confirm that AbstractFeatureBranch is thread-safe

  • Support new configuration option AbstractFeatureBranch.feature_store_per_user_live_fetching to have the ability to enable per-user only live loading from feature store (i.e. Redis) by taking precedence over the AbstractFeatureBranch.feature_store_live_fetching configuration option (which affects both general and per-user feature loading)

  • Web user interface for configuring Redis Overrides (tech details: could be implemented as a Rails engine gem)

  • Web user interface for configuring Environment Variable Overrides (tech details: could be implemented as a Rails engine gem; configured data would disappear once server is restarted, which is by design when using Environment Variable Overrides)

  • Support a Rails Helper or Partial to pull in all feature flags (making the variable name customizable): <% AbstractFeatureBranch.application_features.each do |feature, value| %> <%= tag :meta, name: "feature_#{feature}", content: value %> <% end %>

<script> window.abstract_feature_branch_features = {} document.head.querySelectorAll('meta[name^=feature_]').forEach((element) => { const feature = element.name.match(/^feature_(.*)$/)[1] const value = element.content.toLowerCase() == 'true' window.abstract_feature_branch_features[feature] = value }) </script>
  • Support a Rails API for retrieving feature flags to simplify consumption of feature flags in SPAs with JavaScript Ajax/fetch calls
  • Support a Rails Helper for embedding all feature flags in a document element to simplify their consumption in JavaScript code
  • Support a Rails JavaScript object API for retrieving feature flags conveniently in JavaScript from feature flag document element
  • Support a Rails JavaScript object API for retrieving feature flags conveniently in JavaScript from feature flag Rails API
  • Detect if a feature got repeated in multiple context files and display a warning about it. Also, provide an option to fail fast in that scenario
  • Provide official support or examples of how to Branch By Abstraction by using Inheritance, Strategy Design Pattern or Bridge Design Pattern based on whether a feature is enabled or not, or based on whether one of multiple related features is enabled exclusively.
  • Programmatic in-memory setting of feature flags via Ruby API (different from env var overrides and redis overrides)

Maybe

  • Support feature strategies (multiple possible string values instead of true and false) with feature_strategy method to use instead of feature_enabled?
  • Support integrating feature strategies with the strategic ruby gem to instantiate models with strategies configured in abstract feature branch. That would yield a fully authentic application of the Branch By Abstraction pattern
  • live switching support for live loading or not
  • independent switch for live loading and live per user loading
  • rake task for generating *.local.yml file for a specific feature.yml file
  • rake task for generating all *.local.yml files
  • rake task for resetting *.local.yml file for a specific feature.yml file
  • rake task for resetting all *.local.yml files
