Methods

1. isEnabled(string $feature): bool: Checks if a feature is enabled.

Usage

1. Check Feature Status: To check if a feature is enabled, use the isEnabled method:

   use omarchouman\LaraUtilX\Utilities\FeatureToggleUtil;
   
   if (FeatureToggleUtil::isEnabled('my_feature')) {
      // Feature is enabled
   } else {
      // Feature is disabled
   }

2. Configuration: Define feature toggles in the feature-toggles.php configuration file. You can specify global settings and override them per-user or per-environment.

3. Override Feature Status: You can override feature status for specific users or environments by adding entries in the feature-toggles.php configuration file under the respective keys.

   // feature-toggles.php
   return [
       'my_feature' => true,
       'my_feature' => [
           'user.1' => false, // Disable for user with ID 1
           'environment.local' => true, // Enable in local environment
       ]
   ];

Result

The utility returns a boolean value indicating whether the feature is enabled or disabled. It also supports per-user or per-environment overrides, providing flexibility in feature management.

Publish Config

You can publish the feature-toggles config file through the below command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lara-util-x-feature-toggles

This utility simplifies feature toggling, allowing for easy control over feature availability based on configuration settings.
