1 | 1 | # Flagship Module for Nginx
|
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Adds the ability to feature management in web server level. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Build |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +To link statically against nginx, cd to nginx source directory and execute: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | + ./configure --with compat --add-module=/path/to/flagship-nginx-module --with-pcre |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +To compile as a dynamic module (nginx 1.9.11+), use: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + ./configure --with compat --add-dynamic-module=/path/to/flagship-nginx-module --with-pcre |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +In this case, the `load_module` directive should be used in nginx.conf to load the module. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Configuration |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### fs_init |
| 20 | +* **syntax**: `fs_init 'env_id' 'api_key' 'polling_interval' 'log_level';` |
| 21 | +* **default**: `none` |
| 22 | +* **context**: `server` |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Initialize the SDK with 4 arguments : Environment id, Api Key, Polling Interval and Log level. |
| 25 | +Once the initialization is done the 1st time, the second you execute the script it will bypass the initialization. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### set_visitor_id |
| 28 | +* **syntax**: `set_visitor_id 'visitor_id';` |
| 29 | +* **default**: `none` |
| 30 | +* **context**: `location` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Set the visitor id |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### set_visitor_context |
| 35 | +* **syntax**: `set_visitor_context 'visitor_context';` |
| 36 | +* **default**: `none` |
| 37 | +* **context**: `location` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Set the visitor context |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### get_all_flags |
| 42 | +* **syntax**: `get_all_flags;` |
| 43 | +* **default**: `none` |
| 44 | +* **context**: `location` |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Execute the function getAllFlags that return the flags based on visitor id and context but does not return it in nginx it rather store it in variable named `fs_sdk_cache_var` that you can use as a key/value in nginx cache table for feature management. |
| 47 | +Note that you have to initialize the sdk and setting visitor id and context before running get_all_flags directive. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## Sample configuration |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | +http { |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | + server { |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + fs_init 'env_id' 'api_key' 'polling_interval' 'log_level'; |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + location /test { |
| 59 | + set_visitor_id 'visitor_id_test'; |
| 60 | + set_visitor_context 'visitor_context_test'; |
| 61 | + get_all_flags; |
| 62 | +
|
| 63 | + echo $fs_sdk_cache_var; |
| 64 | + } |
| 65 | +
|
| 66 | + location /experiment { |
| 67 | + set_visitor_id 'visitor_id_experiment'; |
| 68 | + set_visitor_context 'visitor_context_experiment'; |
| 69 | + get_all_flags; |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + echo $fs_sdk_cache_var; |
| 72 | + } |
| 73 | +} |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | +this module uses Go wrapper for C, which is based on the Go SDK that implement bucketing mode. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +so the return on /test if we set visitor_id_test & visitor_context_test match isVip: false, will be: |
| 78 | +``` |
| 79 | +isVip:false; |
| 80 | +``` |
| 81 | +and the return on /experiment if we set visitor_id_experiment & visitor_context_experiment match isVip: true, will be: |
| 82 | +``` |
| 83 | +isVip:true; |
| 84 | +``` |
