sigma-client

Node / Browser library for sigma AB testing framework.

Installation

Include the "sigma.js" script. The sigma object will be added to your environment. In the browser do the following:

`` html

`

If you're using sigma-client with node.js start by installing it:

$ npm install sigma-client

then require the "sigma-client" module:

` javascript
var sigma = require("sigma-client");
`

Usage

Check out the examples in the examples directory for some quick examples for how to use the library. Here's a very basic example in node:

`js
var sigma = require('sigma-client');

var session = new sigma.Session({
environment: {
city: 'bj',
fr: 'bd_sem',
server: 'web00',
},
});

var data = {
experiment: 'test-exp',
variants: ['alt-one', 'alt-two'],
force: 'alt-one',
traffic: {
scope: { city: 'bj' },
},
};
session.participate(data, function (err, res) {
if (err) throw err;
var variant = res.variant.name
if (variant == 'alt-one') {
console.log('default: ' + variant);
} else {
console.log(variant);
}
});
`

When instantiating the session object you can pass optional params client, baseUrl, ipAddress, userAgent

`js
var sigma = new sigma.Session({client: 12345, baseUrl: 'http://www.renrenche.com/api/sigma', ipAddress: '1.2.2.1', userAgent: 'ChromeBot'});
`

Client ID is a previously generated client id that you've previously stored. IP Address and User Agent are used for bot detection.

Forcing an variant

For debugging / design work it can be useful to force a page to load
using a specific variant. To force an variant use the force
parameter to participate(). If you're using sigma.js in the
browser you can also just include a query parameter,
e.g. /your-page?sigma-force-EXPERIMENT_NAME=ALTERNATIVE_NAME.
