ActiveSupportCacheStore adapter

An ActiveSupportCacheStore adapter for Flipper.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'flipper-active_support_cache_store'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself with:

$ gem install flipper-active_support_cache_store

Usage

require 'active_support/cache'
require 'flipper/adapters/active_support_cache_store'

Flipper.configure do |config|
  config.adapter do
    Flipper::Adapters::ActiveSupportCacheStore.new(
      Flipper::Adapters::Memory.new,
      ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore.new, # Or Rails.cache
      expires_in: 5.minutes
    )
  end
end

Setting expires_in is optional and will set an expiration time on Flipper cache keys. If specified, all flipper keys will use this expires_in over the expires_in passed to your ActiveSupport cache constructor.

Internals

Each feature is stored in the underlying cache store.

This is an example using ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore with the Flipper memory adapter.

Each key is namespaced under flipper/v1/feature/

require 'active_support/cache'
require 'flipper/adapters/active_support_cache_store'

memory_adapter = Flipper::Adapters::Memory.new
cache = ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore.new
adapter = Flipper::Adapters::ActiveSupportCacheStore.new(memory_adapter, cache)
flipper = Flipper.new(adapter)

# Register a few groups.
Flipper.register(:admins) { |thing| thing.admin? }
Flipper.register(:early_access) { |thing| thing.early_access? }

# Create a user class that has flipper_id instance method.
User = Struct.new(:flipper_id)

flipper[:stats].enable
flipper[:stats].enable_group :admins
flipper[:stats].enable_group :early_access
flipper[:stats].enable_actor User.new('25')
flipper[:stats].enable_actor User.new('90')
flipper[:stats].enable_actor User.new('180')
flipper[:stats].enable_percentage_of_time 15
flipper[:stats].enable_percentage_of_actors 45
flipper[:search].enable
