Optional
allWhether all context attributes (except the context key) should be marked as private, and not sent to LaunchDarkly in analytics events.
By default, this is false.
Optional
applicationInformation about the application where the LaunchDarkly SDK is running.
Optional
id?: stringA unique identifier representing the application where the LaunchDarkly SDK is running.
This can be specified as any string value as long as it only uses the following characters: ASCII letters, ASCII digits, period, hyphen, underscore. A string containing any other characters will be ignored.
Example: authentication-service
Optional
version?: stringA unique identifier representing the version of the application where the LaunchDarkly SDK is running.
This can be specified as any string value as long as it only uses the following characters: ASCII letters, ASCII digits, period, hyphen, underscore. A string containing any other characters will be ignored.
Example: 1.0.0
(standard version string) or abcdef
(sha prefix)
Optional
baseThe base URL for the LaunchDarkly server.
Most users should use the default value.
Optional
bootstrapThe initial set of flags to use until the remote set is retrieved.
If "localStorage"
is specified, the flags will be saved and retrieved from browser local
storage. Alternatively, an LDFlagSet can be specified which will be used as the initial
source of flag values. In the latter case, the flag values will be available via LDClient.variation
immediately after calling initialize()
(normally they would not be available until the
client signals that it is ready).
For more information, see the SDK Reference Guide.
Optional
diagnosticSet to true to opt out of sending diagnostics data.
Unless diagnosticOptOut
is set to true, the client will send some diagnostics data to the LaunchDarkly
servers in order to assist in the development of future SDK improvements. These diagnostics consist of
an initial payload containing some details of SDK in use, the SDK's configuration, and the platform the
SDK is being run on, as well as payloads sent periodically with information on irregular occurrences such
as dropped events.
Optional
diagnosticThe interval at which periodic diagnostic data is sent, in milliseconds.
The default is 900000 (every 15 minutes) and the minimum value is 6000. See diagnosticOptOut for more information on the diagnostics data being sent.
Optional
evaluationWhether LaunchDarkly should provide additional information about how flag values were calculated.
The additional information will then be available through the client's LDClient.variationDetail method. Since this increases the size of network requests, such information is not sent unless you set this option to true.
Optional
eventThe capacity of the analytics events queue.
The client buffers up to this many events in memory before flushing. If the capacity is exceeded before the queue is flushed, events will be discarded. Increasing the capacity means that events are less likely to be discarded, at the cost of consuming more memory. Note that in regular usage flag evaluations do not produce individual events, only summary counts, so you only need a large capacity if you are generating a large number of click, pageview, or identify events (or if you are using the event debugger).
The default value is 100.
Optional
eventsThe base URL for the LaunchDarkly events server.
Most users should use the default value.
Optional
flushThe interval in between flushes of the analytics events queue, in milliseconds.
The default value is 2000ms.
Optional
inspectorsInspectors can be used for collecting information for monitoring, analytics, and debugging.
Optional
localDetermines where flag values and anonymous context keys are cached in the filesystem. By default, this is the current directory.
Optional
loggerAn object that will perform logging for the client.
If not specified, the default is to use basicLogger
.
Optional
privateSpecifies a list of attribute names (either built-in or custom) which should be marked as private, and not sent to LaunchDarkly in analytics events. You can also specify this on a per-context basis with LDContextMeta.privateAttributes.
Any contexts sent to LaunchDarkly with this configuration active will have attributes with these names removed in analytic events. This is in addition to any attributes that were marked as private for an individual context with LDContextMeta.privateAttributes. Setting LDOptions.allAttributesPrivate to true overrides this.
If and only if a parameter starts with a slash, it is interpreted as a slash-delimited path
that can denote a nested property within a JSON object. For instance, "/address/street" means
that if there is an attribute called "address" that is a JSON object, and one of the object's
properties is "street", the "street" property will be redacted from the analytics data but
other properties within "address" will still be sent. This syntax also uses the JSON Pointer
convention of escaping a literal slash character as "1" and a tilde as "0".
Optional
requestA transform function for dynamic configuration of HTTP headers.
This method will run last in the header generation sequence, so the function should have all system generated headers in case those also need to be modified.
Optional
sendWhether to send analytics events back to LaunchDarkly. By default, this is true.
Optional
sendWhether analytics events should be sent only when you call variation (true), or also when you call allFlags (false).
By default, this is false (events will be sent in both cases).
Optional
sendLDHeadersWhether or not to include custom HTTP headers when requesting flags from LaunchDarkly.
These are used to send metadata about the SDK (such as the version). They are also used to send the application.id and application.version set in the options.
This defaults to true (custom headers will be sent). One reason you might want to set it to false is that the presence of custom headers causes browsers to make an extra OPTIONS request (a CORS preflight check) before each flag request, which could affect performance.
Optional
streamHow long (in milliseconds) to wait after a failure of the stream connection before trying to reconnect.
This only applies if streaming has been enabled by setting streaming to true or
subscribing to "change"
events. The default is 1000ms.
Optional
streamThe base URL for the LaunchDarkly streaming server.
Most users should use the default value.
Optional
streamingWhether or not to open a streaming connection to LaunchDarkly for live flag updates.
If this is true, the client will always attempt to maintain a streaming connection; if false,
it never will. If you leave the value undefined (the default), the client will open a streaming
connection if you subscribe to "change"
or "change:flag-key"
events (see LDClient.on).
This is equivalent to calling client.setStreaming()
with the same value.
Optional
tlsAdditional parameters to pass to the Node HTTPS API for secure requests. These can include any
of the TLS-related parameters supported by https.request()
, such as ca
, cert
, and key
.
Optional
useWhether or not to use the REPORT verb to fetch flag settings.
If this is true, flag settings will be fetched with a REPORT request including a JSON entity body with the context object.
Otherwise (by default) a GET request will be issued with the context passed as a base64 URL-encoded path parameter.
Do not use unless advised by LaunchDarkly.
Optional
wrapperFor use by wrapper libraries to set an identifying name for the wrapper being used.
This will be sent as diagnostic information to the LaunchDarkly servers to allow recording metrics on the usage of these wrapper libraries.
Optional
wrapperFor use by wrapper libraries to set version to be included alongside wrapperName
.
If wrapperName
is unset, this field will be ignored.
