Define a list of app features and environments in an issue description, then simply toggle a feature on/off by ticking a checkbox - without having to redeploy your app.
It can be used directly inside a NextJS app or be deployed as a standalone service and consumed by any client over HTTP. Plus it supports react server-side components right out of the box.
The architecture leverages GitHub Webhooks to invalidate the NextJS cache whenever there is a change. The next time a user reloads a page in their NextJS app the cache is repopulated with the latest enabled features by sending a request to GitHub.
Features:
- Define feature flags across multiple environments or branches.
- Supports React Server Side and Client Side Components. Powered by the NextJS Cache.
- Define custom conditions that are evaluated at runtime to enable or disable features.
- Can be deployed as a stand-alone service to manage feature flags for multiple NextJS apps.
- Totally free. Unlimited projects, features and environments.
How does it work?
1. Define a list of features using Markdown in a Github Issue.
2. Configure a Github Webhook that hits your self-hosted `/api/next-flag` route when a feature is toggled and invalidates the NextJS cache.
3. Consume the `next-flag` package anywhere in your code. Features are fetched once and cached. Supports React Server Side Components, React Hooks, or simply send an HTTP GET request to `/api/next-flag`.
