constructor

  • Returns LDClient

Methods

allFlags

  • allFlags(environment?: string): Promise<LDFlagSet>

  • Returns a map of all available flags to the current context's values.

    Parameters

    • Optional environment: string

      Optional environment name to obtain the result from the corresponding secondary environment

    Returns Promise<LDFlagSet>

    A promise containing an object in which each key is a feature flag key and each value is the flag value. Note that there is no way to specify a default value for each flag as there is with the *Variation methods, so any flag that cannot be evaluated will have a null value.

boolVariation

  • boolVariation(flagKey: string, defaultValue: boolean, environment?: string): Promise<boolean>

  • Determines the variation of a boolean feature flag for the current context.

    Parameters

    • flagKey: string

      The unique key of the feature flag.

    • defaultValue: boolean

      The default value of the flag, to be used if the value is not available from LaunchDarkly.

    • Optional environment: string

      Optional environment name to obtain the result from the corresponding secondary environment

    Returns Promise<boolean>

    A promise containing the flag's value.

boolVariationDetail

  • boolVariationDetail(flagKey: string, defaultValue: boolean, environment?: string): Promise<LDEvaluationDetail<boolean>>

  • Determines the variation of a boolean feature flag for a context, along with information about how it was calculated.

    Note that this will only work if you have set evaluationReasons to true in LDConfig. Otherwise, the reason property of the result will be null.

    For more information, see the SDK reference guide.

    Parameters

    • flagKey: string

      The unique key of the feature flag.

    • defaultValue: boolean

      The default value of the flag, to be used if the value is not available from LaunchDarkly.

    • Optional environment: string

      Optional environment name to obtain the result from the corresponding secondary environment

    Returns Promise<LDEvaluationDetail<boolean>>

    A promise containing an LDEvaluationDetail object containing the value and explanation.

close

  • close(): Promise<void>

  • Shuts down the client and releases its resources, after delivering any pending analytics events. After the client is closed, all calls to the *Variation methods will return default values, and it will not make any requests to LaunchDarkly.

    Returns Promise<void>

configure

  • configure(config: LDConfig, context: LDContext, timeout?: number): Promise<null>

  • Initialize the SDK to work with the specified client configuration options and on behalf of the specified context. Will block for a number of seconds represented until flags are received from LaunchDarkly if the timeout parameter is passed.

    This should only be called once at application start time.

    Parameters

    • config: LDConfig

      the client configuration options

    • context: LDContext

      the LDContext object

    • Optional timeout: number

      (Optional) A number representing how long to wait for flags

    Returns Promise<null>

flush

  • flush(): void

  • Flushes all pending analytics events.

    Normally, batches of events are delivered in the background at intervals determined by the flushInterval property of LDConfig. Calling flush triggers an immediate delivery.

    Returns void

getConnectionMode

  • Returns the current state of the connection to LaunchDarkly.

    States include:

    • 'STREAMING': The SDK is either connected to the flag stream, or is actively attempting to acquire a connection.
    • 'POLLING': The SDK was configured with streaming disabled, and is in foreground polling mode.
    • 'BACKGROUND_POLLING': (Android specific enum value) The SDK has detected the application is in the background and has transitioned to battery conscious background polling.
    • 'BACKGROUND_DISABLED': (Android specific enum value) The SDK was configured with background polling disabled. The SDK has detected the application is in the background and is not attempting to update the flag cache.
    • 'OFFLINE': The SDK has detected that the mobile device does not have an active network connection so has ceased flag update attempts until the network status changes.
    • 'SET_OFFLINE': (Android specific enum value) The SDK has been explicitly set offline, either in the initial configuration, by setOffline(), or as a result of failed authentication to LaunchDarkly. The SDK will stay offline unless setOnline() is called.
    • 'SHUTDOWN': (Android specific enum value) The shutdown state indicates the SDK has been permanently shutdown as a result of a call to close().
    • 'ESTABLISHING_STREAMING_CONNECTION': (iOS specific enum value) The SDK is attempting to connect to LaunchDarkly by streaming.

    Parameters

    • Optional environment: string

      Optional string to execute the function in a different environment than the default.

    Returns Promise<LDConnectionMode>

    A promise containing a LDConnectionMode enum value representing the status of the connection to LaunchDarkly.

getLastFailedConnection

  • getLastFailedConnection(environment?: string): Promise<null | number>

  • Most recent unsuccessful flag cache update attempt in millis from the epoch or null if flag update has never been attempted.

    Parameters

    • Optional environment: string

      Optional string to execute the function in a different environment than the default.

    Returns Promise<null | number>

    A promise containing a number representing the status of the connection to LaunchDarkly, or null if a failed connection has yet to occur.

getLastFailure

  • Returns the most recent connection failure reason or null.

    Reasons include:

    • 'NONE': This indicates when no error has been recorded.
    • 'UNKNOWN_ERROR': This indicates when there is an internal error in the stream request.
    • 'UNAUTHORIZED': (iOS specific enum value) This indicates when an incorrect mobile key is provided.
    • 'HTTP_ERROR': (iOS specific enum value) This indicates when an error with an HTTP error code is present.
    • 'UNEXPECTED_RESPONSE_CODE': (Android specific enum value) This indicates the LDFailure is an instance of LDInvalidResponseCodeFailure. See Android documentation for more details.
    • 'UNEXPECTED_STREAM_ELEMENT_TYPE': (Android specific enum value) An event was received through the stream was had an unknown event name. This could indicate a newer SDK is available if new event types have become available through the flag stream since the SDKs release.
    • 'NETWORK_FAILURE': (Android specific enum value) A network request for polling, or the EventSource stream reported a failure.
    • 'INVALID_RESPONSE_BODY': (Android specific enum value) A response body received either through polling or streaming was unable to be parsed.

    Parameters

    • Optional environment: string

      Optional string to execute the function in a different environment than the default.

    Returns Promise<null | LDFailureReason>

    A promise containing a LDFailureReason enum value representing the reason for the most recently failed connection to LaunchDarkly, or null if a failed connection has yet to occur.

getLastSuccessfulConnection

    Parameters

    • context: LDContext

      The LDContext for evaluation and event reporting

    Returns Promise<null>

    A promise indicating when this operation is complete (meaning that flags are ready for evaluation).

isInitialized

  • isInitialized(environment?: string): Promise<boolean>

  • Checks whether the client is ready to return feature flag values. This is true if either the client has successfully connected to LaunchDarkly and received feature flags, or the client has been put into offline mode (in which case it will return only default flag values).
