Update feature flag

These instructions require the environmentKey parameter.

turnFlagOff

Sets the flag’s targeting state to Off.

Here’s an example:

1
{
2
  "environmentKey": "environment-key-123abc",
3
  "instructions": [ { "kind": "turnFlagOff" } ]
4
}

turnFlagOn

Sets the flag’s targeting state to On.

Here’s an example:

1
{
2
  "environmentKey": "environment-key-123abc",
3
  "instructions": [ { "kind": "turnFlagOn" } ]
4
}

These instructions require the environmentKey parameter.

Several of the instructions for working with targeting and variations require flag rule IDs, variation IDs, or clause IDs as parameters. Each of these are returned as part of the Get feature flag response. The flag rule ID is the _id field of each element in the rules array within each environment listed in the environments object. The variation ID is the _id field in each element of the variations array. The clause ID is the _id field of each element of the clauses array within the rules array within each environment listed in the environments object.

addClauses

Adds the given clauses to the rule indicated by ruleId.

Parameters

• ruleId: ID of a rule in the flag.
• clauses: Array of clause objects, with contextKind (string), attribute (string), op (string), negate (boolean), and values (array of strings, numbers, or dates) properties. The contextKind, attribute, and values are case sensitive. The op must be lower-case.

Here’s an example:

1
{
2
	"environmentKey": "environment-key-123abc",
3
	"instructions": [{
4
		"kind": "addClauses",
5
		"ruleId": "a902ef4a-2faf-4eaf-88e1-ecc356708a29",
6
		"clauses": [{
7
			"contextKind": "user",
8
			"attribute": "country",
9
			"op": "in",
10
			"negate": false,
11
			"values": ["USA", "Canada"]
12
		}]
13
	}]
14
}

addPrerequisite

Adds the flag indicated by key with variation variationId as a prerequisite to the flag in the path parameter.

Parameters

• key: Flag key of the prerequisite flag.
• variationId: ID of a variation of the prerequisite flag.

Here’s an example:

1
{
2
	"environmentKey": "environment-key-123abc",
3
	"instructions": [{
4
		"kind": "addPrerequisite",
5
		"key": "example-prereq-flag-key",
6
		"variationId": "2f43f67c-3e4e-4945-a18a-26559378ca00"
7
	}]
8
}

addRule

Adds a new targeting rule to the flag. The rule may contain clauses and serve the variation that variationId indicates, or serve a percentage rollout that rolloutWeights, rolloutBucketBy, and rolloutContextKind indicate.

If you set beforeRuleId, this adds the new rule before the indicated rule. Otherwise, adds the new rule to the end of the list.

Parameters

• clauses: Array of clause objects, with contextKind (string), attribute (string), op (string), negate (boolean), and values (array of strings, numbers, or dates) properties. The contextKind, attribute, and values are case sensitive. The op must be lower-case.

• beforeRuleId: (Optional) ID of a flag rule.

• Either

  • variationId: ID of a variation of the flag.

  or

  • rolloutWeights: (Optional) Map of variationId to weight, in thousandths of a percent (0-100000).
  • rolloutBucketBy: (Optional) Context attribute available in the specified rolloutContextKind.
  • rolloutContextKind: (Optional) Context kind, defaults to user

Here’s an example that uses a variationId:

11
      "values": ["Sweden", "Norway"]
12
    }]
13
  }]

      "e5830889-1ec5-4b0c-9cc9-c48790090c43": 85000  // serve 85% this variation
16
    }
17

turnOffClientSideAvailability

If you’re using a client-side or mobile SDK, you must expose your feature flags in order for the client-side or mobile SDKs to evaluate them.

Parameters

• value: Use “usingMobileKey” to turn off availability for mobile SDKs. Use “usingEnvironmentId” to turn on availability for client-side SDKs.

Here’s an example:

1
{
2
  "instructions": [ { "kind": "turnOffClientSideAvailability", "value": "usingMobileKey" } ]
3
}

Here’s an example:

1
{
2
  "instructions": [ { "kind": "turnOnClientSideAvailability", "value": "usingMobileKey" } ]
