LaunchDarkly SDK for Go

Circle CI

Quick setup

  1. Install the SDK with the go tool:
go get gopkg.in/launchdarkly/go-client.v2
  1. Import the LaunchDarkly client:
import ld "gopkg.in/launchdarkly/go-client.v2"
  1. Create a new LDClient with your SDK key:
ldClient, err := ld.MakeClient("YOUR_SDK_KEY", 5*time.Second)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Error creating launch darkly client: %s", err)
}
defer ldClient.Close()

If you are reusing a global instance you probably want to not defer ldClient.Close() but instead close it when the application exits.

HTTPS proxy

Go's standard HTTP library provides built-in support for the use of a HTTPS proxy. If the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable is present then the SDK will proxy all network requests through the URL provided.

How to set the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable on Mac/Linux systems:

export HTTPS_PROXY=https://web-proxy.domain.com:8080

How to set the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable on Windows systems:

set HTTPS_PROXY=https://web-proxy.domain.com:8080

Your first feature flag

  1. Create a new feature flag on your dashboard
  2. In your application code, use the feature's key to check whether the flag is on for each user:
key := "user@test.com"
showFeature, _ := ldClient.BoolVariation("your.flag.key", ld.User{Key: &key}, false)
if showFeature {
    // application code to show the feature
} else {
    // the code to run if the feature is off
}

Building without Redis

The SDK includes an adapter for caching feature flag data in Redis, using Redigo. If you don't intend to use Redis and would like to avoid installing Redigo, add the following build tag to your go build command:

-tags launchdarkly_no_redis

Testing

We run integration tests for all our SDKs using a centralized test harness. This approach gives us the ability to test for consistency across SDKs, as well as test networking behavior in a long-running application. These tests cover each method in the SDK, and verify that event sending, flag evaluation, stream reconnection, and other aspects of the SDK all behave correctly.

Contributing

We encourage pull-requests and other contributions from the community. We've also published an SDK contributor's guide that provides a detailed explanation of how our SDKs work.

About LaunchDarkly

  • LaunchDarkly is a continuous delivery platform that provides feature flags as a service and allows developers to iterate quickly and safely. We allow you to easily flag your features and manage them from the LaunchDarkly dashboard. With LaunchDarkly, you can:
    • Roll out a new feature to a subset of your users (like a group of users who opt-in to a beta tester group), gathering feedback and bug reports from real-world use cases.
    • Gradually roll out a feature to an increasing percentage of users, and track the effect that the feature has on key metrics (for instance, how likely is a user to complete a purchase if they have feature A versus feature B?).
    • Turn off a feature that you realize is causing performance problems in production, without needing to re-deploy, or even restart the application with a changed configuration file.
    • Grant access to certain features based on user attributes, like payment plan (eg: users on the ‘gold’ plan get access to more features than users in the ‘silver’ plan). Disable parts of your application to facilitate maintenance, without taking everything offline.

Functions

func ParseFloat64 

func ParseFloat64(input interface{}) *float64

Parses numeric value as float64 from a string or another numeric type. Returns nil pointer if input is nil or unparsable.

func ParseTime 

func ParseTime(input interface{}) *time.Time

Converts any of the following into a pointer to a time.Time value: 

RFC3339/ISO8601 timestamp (example: 2016-04-16T17:09:12.759-07:00)
Unix epoch milliseconds as string
Unix milliseconds as number

Passing in a time.Time value will return a pointer to the input value. Unparsable inputs will return nil More info on RFC3339: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/522251/whats-the-difference-between-iso-8601-and-rfc-3339-date-formats

A User contains specific attributes of a user browsing your site. The only mandatory property property is the Key, which must uniquely identify each user. For authenticated users, this may be a username or e-mail address. For anonymous users, this could be an IP address or session ID.

Besides the mandatory Key, User supports two kinds of optional attributes: interpreted attributes (e.g. Ip and Country) and custom attributes. LaunchDarkly can parse interpreted attributes and attach meaning to them. For example, from an Ip address, LaunchDarkly can do a geo IP lookup and determine the user's country.

Custom attributes are not parsed by LaunchDarkly. They can be used in custom rules-- for example, a custom attribute such as "customer_ranking" can be used to launch a feature to the top 10% of users on a site.
