Is Feature Enabled

Determines whether a feature is enabled for a given user. The purpose of this method is to allow you to separate the process of developing and deploying features from the decision to turn on a feature. Build your feature and deploy it to your application behind this flag, then turn the feature on or off for specific users.

Version

SDK v3.1.0

Description

This method traverses the client's datafile and checks the feature flag for the feature key that you specify.

This method evaluates the feature rollout for a user. The method checks whether the rollout is enabled, whether the user qualifies for the audience targeting, and then randomly assigns either on or off based on the appropriate traffic allocation. If the feature rollout is on for a qualified user, the method returns True.

Parameters

The table below lists the required and optional parameters in Swift.

Returns

YES if the feature is enabled for the user. Otherwise, false.

Examples

This section shows a simple example of how you can use the IsFeatureEnabled method.

// Evaluate a feature flag and a variable
let enabled = optimizely.isFeatureEnabled(featureKey: "price_filter", userId: userId)

NSDictionary *attributes = @{
  @"device": @"iPhone",
  @"lifetime": @24738388,
  @"is_logged_in": @true
};

BOOL enabled = [optimizely isFeatureEnabledWithFeatureKey:@"my_feature_key"
                     						userId:@"user_123"
                     						attributes:attributes];
