Feature switches in Laravel 4

This package allows you to use feature switches in your code.

Installation

You can install this package trough Composer. Add this to your composer.json file:

"require": {
    // ...
    "ronaldvaneede/laravel-feature-switches": "dev-master"
}

Now run composer install or composer update to download it.

After that add the service provider to the providers array within the app/config/app.php file.

'providers' => array(
    // ...
    'Ronaldvaneede\Featureswitch\FeatureswitchServiceProvider',
)

That's it!

Using Feature switches

To use the feature switches you have to add this to the app/config/app.php file:

'features' => array(
    'feature-a' => array('enabled' => 'on'),
    'feature-b' => array('enabled' => 'off')
)

Then you can use Featureswitch::allow('feature-a') and Featureswitch::allow('feature-b') to check if the feature is available. The allow() method will return either true or false.

Wishes

In the end this should support a configuration like this:

// on / off / users -> user_list => 'a,b,c' / staff / 1%
'features' => array(
    'login' => array('enabled' => 'on'),
    'facebook' => array('enabled' => 'off'),
    'google+' => array('enabled' => '5%'),
    'twitter' => array('enabled' => 'users', 'user_list' => 'ronald,jaap,piet')
)
