React

The Hyphen Toggle OpenFeature React Provider allows seamless feature flag evaluation using the OpenFeature standard within the Hyphen Toggle platform.

Installation

To use the Hyphen Toggle OpenFeature Web Provider for React, install the required packages:

npm install @openfeature/react-sdk @hyphen/openfeature-web-provider

Setup and Initialization

To begin using the Hyphen Provider, follow these steps:

  1. Import the required modules.

  2. Configure the provider with your publicKey, application name and environment.
    You can specify the environment in one of two formats:

    • Alternate ID (e.g., "production", "staging") — the environment in which your application is running.
    • Project Environment ID (e.g., pevr_abc123) — useful for internal references.
  3. Register the OpenFeature provider.

import { OpenFeature, OpenFeatureProvider } from '@openfeature/react-sdk';
import { HyphenProvider, HyphenProviderOptions } from '@hyphen/openfeature-web-provider';

const publicKey = 'your-public-key'; // Replace with your Hyphen publicKey

const options: HyphenProviderOptions = {
  application: 'your-app-name',
  environment: 'production', // or project environment ID
};

await OpenFeature.setProviderAndWait(new HyphenProvider(publicKey, options));

function App() {
  return (
    <OpenFeatureProvider>
      <Page/>
    </OpenFeatureProvider>
  );
}
  1. Use OpenFeature.setContext to configure the context needed for feature targeting. This context should include relevant user information, typically obtained from an authentication process.
const AuthContext = createContext({ isLoading: true, user: null });

export const MockAuthProvider = ({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) => {
   const [authState, setAuthState] = useState({ isLoading: true, user: null });

   useEffect(() => {
     setTimeout(() => {
       const user = {
         id: 'user-123',
         name: 'John Doe',
         email: '[email protected]',
       };
       OpenFeature.setContext({
         targetingKey: user.id,
         user,
         customAttributes: { role: user.role }, // Additional targeting attributes
       });

      setAuthState({ isLoading: false, user });
       }, 1000);
   }, []);

   return <AuthContext.Provider value={authState}>{children}</AuthContext.Provider>;
   };

   export const useAuth = () => useContext(AuthContext);

Usage

Evaluation Context Example

Use any of the OpenFeature evaluation hooks to evaluate flags.

import { useFlag } from '@openfeature/react-sdk';

function Page() {
const { value: isFeatureEnabled } = useFlag('your-flag-key', false);
  return (
    <div>
      <header>
        {isFeatureEnabled ? <p>Welcome to this OpenFeature-enabled React app!</p> : <p>Welcome to this React app.</p>}
      </header>
    </div>
  )
}
