Split OpenFeature Provider for NodeJS


Overview

This Provider is designed to allow the use of OpenFeature with Split, the platform for controlled rollouts, serving features to your users via the Split feature flag to manage your complete customer experience.

Compatibility

It supports Node.js version 14.x or later.

Getting started

Below is a simple example that describes the instantiation of the Split Provider. Please see the OpenFeature Documentation for details on how to use the OpenFeature SDK.

$3

``sh
npm install @splitsoftware/openfeature-js-split-provider
`

$3


`sh
npm install @splitsoftware/splitio
npm install @openfeature/server-sdk
`

$3

`js
const OpenFeature = require('@openfeature/server-sdk').OpenFeature;
const OpenFeatureSplitProvider = require('@splitsoftware/openfeature-js-split-provider').OpenFeatureSplitProvider;

const authorizationKey = 'your auth key'
const provider = new OpenFeatureSplitProvider(authorizationKey);
OpenFeature.setProvider(provider);
`

$3


`js
const OpenFeature = require('@openfeature/server-sdk').OpenFeature;
const SplitFactory = require('@splitsoftware/splitio').SplitFactory;
const OpenFeatureSplitProvider = require('@splitsoftware/openfeature-js-split-provider').OpenFeatureSplitProvider;

const authorizationKey = 'your auth key'
const splitFactory = SplitFactory({core: {authorizationKey}});
const provider = new OpenFeatureSplitProvider(splitFactory);
OpenFeature.setProvider(provider);
`

$3


`js
const OpenFeature = require('@openfeature/server-sdk').OpenFeature;
const SplitFactory = require('@splitsoftware/splitio').SplitFactory;
const OpenFeatureSplitProvider = require('@splitsoftware/openfeature-js-split-provider').OpenFeatureSplitProvider;

const authorizationKey = 'your auth key'
const splitClient = SplitFactory({core: {authorizationKey}}).client();
const provider = new OpenFeatureSplitProvider({splitClient});
OpenFeature.setProvider(provider);
`

Use of OpenFeature with Split

After the initial setup you can use OpenFeature according to their documentation.

One important note is that the Split Provider requires a targeting key to be set. Often times this should be set when evaluating the value of a flag by setting an EvaluationContext which contains the targeting key. An example flag evaluation is
`js
const client = openFeature.getClient('CLIENT_NAME');

const context: EvaluationContext = {
targetingKey: 'TARGETING_KEY',
};
const boolValue = await client.getBooleanValue('boolFlag', false, context);
`
If the same targeting key is used repeatedly, the evaluation context may be set at the client level
`js
const context: EvaluationContext = {
targetingKey: 'TARGETING_KEY',
};
client.setEvaluationContext(context)
`
or at the OpenFeatureAPI level
`js
const context: EvaluationContext = {
targetingKey: 'TARGETING_KEY',
};
OpenFeatureAPI.getInstance().setCtx(context)
`
If the context was set at the client or api level, it is not required to provide it during flag evaluation.

Evaluate with details

Use the get*Details(...) APIs to get the value and rich context (variant, reason, error code, metadata). This provider includes the Split treatment config as a raw JSON string under flagMetadata["config"]

`js
const booleanTreatment = await client.getBooleanDetails('boolFlag', false, context);

const config = booleanTreatment.flagMetadata.config
`

Tracking

To use track(eventName, context, details) you must provide:

- A non-blank eventName.
- A context with:
- targetingKey (non-blank).
- trafficType (string, e.g. "user" or "account").

Optional:

- details with:
- value: numeric event value (defaults to 0).
- properties: map of attributes (prefer primitives: string/number/boolean/null).

Example:
`js
const context = { targetingKey: 'user-123', trafficType: 'account' }
const details = { value: 19.99, plan: 'pro', coupon: 'WELCOME10' }

client.track('checkout.completed', context, details)
``
