Install dependencies​

The first things we will do is install the Open Feature SDK and the GO Feature Flag provider.

dotnet add package OpenFeature.Contrib.GOFeatureFlag

Initialize your Open Feature client​

To evaluate the flags you need to have an Open Feature configured in you app. This code block shows you how you can create a client that you can use in your application.

using OpenFeature;
using OpenFeature.Contrib.GOFeatureFlag;

// ...

var goFeatureFlagProvider = new GoFeatureFlagProvider(new GoFeatureFlagProviderOptions
{
    Endpoint = "http://localhost:1031/",
    Timeout = new TimeSpan(1000 * TimeSpan.TicksPerMillisecond)
});
Api.Instance.SetProvider(goFeatureFlagProvider);
var client = Api.Instance.GetClient("my-app");

Evaluate your flag​

This code block explain how you can create an EvaluationContext and use it to evaluate your flag.

note

In this example we are evaluating a boolean flag, but other types are also available.

Refer to the Open Feature documentation to know more about it.

// Context of your flag evaluation.
// With GO Feature Flag you MUST have a targetingKey that is a unique identifier of the user.
var userContext = EvaluationContext.Builder()
    .Set("targetingKey", "1d1b9238-2591-4a47-94cf-d2bc080892f1") // user unique identifier (mandatory)
    .Set("firstname", "john")
    .Set("lastname", "doe")
    .Set("email", "john.doe@gofeatureflag.org")
    .Set("admin", true) // this field is used in the targeting rule of the flag "flag-only-for-admin"
    .Set("anonymous", false)
    .Build();

var adminFlag = await client.GetBooleanValue("flag-only-for-admin", false, userContext);
if (adminFlag) {
   // flag "flag-only-for-admin" is true for the user
} else {
  // flag "flag-only-for-admin" is false for the user
}
