Send notifications to a Discord channel.

About Discord Notifier

The discord notifier allows to get notified on your favorite discord channel when an instance of go-feature-flag is detecting changes in the configuration of your flags.

Each notification lists the flags that were created, updated or deleted. For an updated flag, every change is described as a short sentence, for example:

✏️ Flag "dark-mode" updated
• Version set to `2`
• Targeting rule `beta-users` now matches `beta eq true or company eq "acme"` (was `beta eq true`)
• Targeting rule `internal` added: serves `enabled` when `email ew "@example.com"`
• Default rule now serves `disabled` 50%, `enabled` 50% (was `disabled` 90%, `enabled` 10%)

A flag shows at most 50 changes, and a last line counts the changes left out. Discord limits the size of a message, so when many flags change at once the longest lists are shortened first. If more than 10 flags change, the message shows the first 9 and asks you to check the logs for the rest.

3. Under your channel’s settings, go to the "Integrations" section and create a new webhook. To create it, please follow the official documentation.
