@featurevisor/roku

BrightScript SDK for Roku is meant to be used with kopytko-framework.

However, if you don't use it, you can simply copy all SDK files and their dependencies to your project (a version will be prepared in the future if anyone is interested).

Visit https://featurevisor.com/docs/sdks/roku for more information.

Installation

``bash
npm i -P @featurevisor/roku
`

Usage

Initialize the SDK (creates FeaturevisorInstance node).
For example, in the new MyFeaturevisorNode created:

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
datafileUrl: "",
})
end sub
`

You can also pass an existing instance to SDK, to not create a new instance, but to use an existing one to use FeaturevisorSDK methods that are invoked on it.

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
' options from an existing instance are kept but could be overridden
}, existingInstance)
end sub
`

Options

Options you can pass when creating Featurevisor SDK instance:

$3

- Type: string
- Required: no
- Defaults to: .

$3

- Type: associativeArray
- Required: no

The context for configureBucketKey, configureBucketValue, and interceptContext functions,
this object will be accessible via m in those functions.

$3

- Type: function
- Required: no

Use it to take over bucketing key generation process.

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
configureBucketKey: function (feature as Dynamic, context as Object, bucketKey as String) as String
return bucketKey
end function,
})
end sub
`

$3

- Type: function
- Required: no

Use it to take over bucketing process.

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
configureBucketValue: function (feature as Dynamic, context as Object, bucketValue as String) as Integer
return bucketValue ' 0 to 100000
end function,
})
end sub
`

$3

- Type: associativeArray
- Required: either datafile or datafileUrl is required

Use it to pass the datafile object directly.

$3

- Type: string
- Required: either datafile or datafileUrl is required

Use it to pass the URL to fetch the datafile from.

$3

- Type: associativeArray
- Required: no

Pass set of initial features with their variation and (optional) variables that you want the SDK to return until the datafile is fetched and parsed:

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
initialFeatures: {
myFeatureKey: {
enabled: true,

' optional
variation: "treatment",
variables: {
myVariableKey: "my-variable-value",
},
},
},
})
end sub
`

$3

- Type: function
- Required: no

Intercept given context before they are used to bucket the user:

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
defaultContext = {
platform: "roku",
locale: "en_US",
country: "US",
timezone: "America/New_York",
}
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
configureAndInterceptStaticContext: defaultContext,
interceptContext: function (context as Object) as Object
joinedContext = {}
joinedContext.append(m)
joinedContext.append(context)

return joinedContext
end function,
})
end sub
`

$3

- Type: associativeArray
- Required: no
- Structure: { callback: function, context?: associativeArray }

Capture activated features along with their evaluated variation:

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
onActivation: {
callback: sub (data as Object)
' feature has been activated
end sub,
context: {}, ' optional context for the callback
},
})
end sub
`

data Object fields:

- captureContext
- feature
- context
- variationValue

captureContext will only contain attributes that are marked as capture: true in the Attributes' YAML files.

$3

- Type: associativeArray
- Required: no
- Structure: { callback: function, context?: associativeArray }

Triggered maximum once when the SDK is ready to be used.

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
onReady: {
callback: sub ()
' agent has been createInstanced and it is ready
end sub,
context: {}, ' optional context for the callback
},
})
end sub
`

$3

- Type: associativeArray
- Required: no
- Structure: { callback: function, context?: associativeArray }

Triggered every time the datafile is refreshed.

Works only when datafileUrl and refreshInterval are set.

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
onRefresh: {
callback: sub ()
' datafile has been refreshed
end sub,
context: {}, ' optional context for the callback
},
})
end sub
`

$3

- Type: associativeArray
- Required: no
- Structure: { callback: function, context?: associativeArray }

Triggered every time the datafile is refreshed, and the newly fetched datafile is detected to have different content than last fetched one.

Works only when datafileUrl and refreshInterval are set.

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
onUpdate: {
callback: sub ()
' datafile has been updated (the revision has changed)
end sub,
context: {}, ' optional context for the callback
},
})
end sub
`

$3

- Type: integer (in seconds)
- Required: no

Set the interval grater than zero to refresh the datafile.

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
datafileUrl: "",
refreshInterval: 60 * 5, ' every 5 minutes
})
end sub
`

$3

- Type: associativeArray
- Required: no

If set, the SDK will skip evaluating the datafile and return variation and variable results from this object instead.

If a feature key is not present in this object, the SDK will continue to evaluate the datafile.

`brightscript
' @import /components/libs/featurevisor/FeaturevisorSDK.brs from @featurevisor/roku

sub init()
f = FeaturevisorSDK()
f.createInstance({
stickyFeatures: {
myFeatureKey: {
enabled: true,

' optional
variation: "treatment",
variables: {
myVariableKey: "my-variable-value",
},
},
},
})
end sub
`

API

$3

Check if a feature is enabled or not.

> f.isEnabled(featureKey as String, context = {} as Object) as Boolean

$3

Get feature variation.

> f.getVariation(feature as Dynamic, context = {} as Object) as Dynamic

$3

Get feature variable.

> f.getVariable(feature as Dynamic, variableKey as String, context = {} as Object) as Dynamic

Also supports additional type specific methods, returns the value of the desired type, or Invalid if the value does not exist or it does not have a desired type:

- f.getVariableBoolean(feature as Dynamic, variableKey as String, context = {} as Object) as Dynamic
- f.getVariableString(feature as Dynamic, variableKey as String, context = {} as Object) as Dynamic
- f.getVariableInteger(feature as Dynamic, variableKey as String, context = {} as Object) as Dynamic
- f.getVariableDouble(feature as Dynamic, variableKey as String, context = {} as Object) as Dynamic
- f.getVariableArray(feature as Dynamic, variableKey as String, context = {} as Object) as Dynamic
- f.getVariableObject(feature as Dynamic, variableKey as String, context = {} as Object) as Dynamic
- f.getVariableJSON(feature as Dynamic, variableKey as String, context = {} as Object) as Dynamic

$3

Same as getVariation, but also calls the onActivation callback.

This is a convenience method meant to be called when you know the User has been exposed to your Feature, and you also want to track the activation.

> f.activate(feature as Dynamic, context = {} as Object) as Object

$3

Adds on activation callback which will be called after an feature activation.

> f.onActivation(func as Function, context = Invalid as Object)

$3

Adds on ready callback which will be called after an instance is ready (datafile is saved).

It should be called before createInstance

> f.onReady(func as Function, context = Invalid as Object)

$3

Adds on refresh callback which will be called after a successful datafile refresh. But the file doesn't need to change.

> f.onRefresh(func as Function, context = Invalid as Object)

$3

Adds on update callback which will be called after a successful datafile refresh when it has been changed compared to the previous one.

> f.onUpdate(func as Function, context = Invalid as Object)

$3

Stop refreshing and clear the whole instance. It needs to be initialized once again.

> f.clear()

$3

Get the datafile revision.

> f.getRevision() as String

$3

Check if the instance is ready to be used (the datafile is set).

> f.isReady() as Boolean

$3

Manually refresh datafile.

> f.refresh()

$3

Set datafile manually.

> f.setDatafile(datafile as Object)

$3

Set sticky features.

> f.setStickyFeatures(stickyFeatures as Object)

$3

Resume or start refreshing if refreshInterval was provided.

> f.startRefreshing()

$3

Stop refreshing.

> f.stopRefreshing()`
