tas-client-umd

This module is a repackaging of the tas-client module as a UMD module.

Purpose

This package is intended to be used as an endpoint client to query, refetch, and cache data from an experimentation service (or any given endpoint). The endpoint result must follow the required structure for experimentation data.

Usage

First, your client should implement an IExperimentationFilterProvider, IExperimentationTelemetry, and IKeyValueStorage.

``typescript
interface IExperimentationFilterProvider {
/**
* Get filter value by enum
* @param filter The filter type.
*/
getFilters(): Map;
}

interface IExperimentationTelemetry {
/**
* Set shared property for all events.
* @param name The name of the shared property.
* @param value The value of the shared property.
*/
setSharedProperty(name: string, value: string): void;
/**
* Posts an event into the telemetry implementation.
*/
postEvent(eventName: string, props: Map): void;
}

interface IKeyValueStorage {
/**
* Gets current value from the storage.
* @param key The key of the value that wants to be retrieved from the storage.
* @param defaultValue The default value to return in case no value was found for given key.
*/
getValue(key: string, defaultValue?: T): Promise;
/**
* Sets value to the storage.
* @param key The key that will be attached to the value in the storage.
* @param value The value to store.
*/
setValue(key: string, value: T): void;
}
`

Next, they can be used in the TASClient constructor:

`javascript
const tasClient = new TASClient({
filterProviders: [filterProvider],
telemetry: telemetry,
storageKey: storageKey,
keyValueStorage: keyValueStorage,
assignmentContextTelemetryPropertyName: '',
telemetryEventName: '',
endpoint: '',
refetchInterval: refetchInterval,
});
`

assignmentContextTelemetryPropertyName is a property that is added to every telemetry event for experimentation result calculations.

telemetryEventName is the name of the event which is posted every time experiment data is queried.

The client provides a variety of functions, but the most basic is getTreatmentVariable(configId: string, name: string).
Once you have an instance of IExperimentationService you can call getTreatmentVariable to get the value of a treatment variable.

> NOTE: If you haven't awaited the IExperimentationService's initializePromise, you need to use getTreatmentVariableAsync.
