RimDev.FeatureFlags Change Log

v3.0 May-July 2022

Major rewrite to move to using the IFeatureManagerSnapshot and ISessionManager interfaces from Microsoft.FeatureManagement. This will allow layering of ISessionManager implementations to give flexibility in how the feature value is calculated.

Under RimDev.FeatureFlags v2 you were limited to only looking at a single database table for values. With RimDev.FeatureFlags v3, you can allow per-user feature flag values to override per-application values; or some other desired layering. You can mix and match any set of value providers which implement the ISessionManager interface when constructing the IFeatureManagerSnapshot object in a Dependency Injection container.

You can also choose to use any reasonable implementation of IFeatureManagerSnapshot instead of Microsoft.FeatureManagement if you don't need the advanced features that the Microsoft implementation provides. The out of the box experience uses Lussatite.FeatureManagement which is a light implementation which allows layering of session managers.

The main package now targets .NET Standard 2.0, with an additional package (RimDev.AspNetCore.FeatureFlags.UI) added to provide the pre-built .NET Core 3.1+ / .NET 5+ web UI and API.

Additions

  • FeatureFlagUiSettings: Is the new settings class for the UI project classes. Some of these properties used to live in FeatureFlagOptions.

Changes

  • All UI-related classes / methods have been moved to the UI package.
  • The default ServiceLifetime for a Feature is now Scoped instead of Transient. There is no longer a way to set the service lifetime.
  • Building a Feature object now looks at the registered IFeatureManagementSnapshot to obtain the value.
  • FeatureSetRequest is now FeatureRequest in the UI project.
  • The description for a Feature now comes from the [Description(string)] attribute on the class, not from an overridden property.
  • The "Value" property is now named "Enabled".
  • Use of LazyCache IAppCache where appropriate.

Removed / Obsoleted

  • Feature.ServiceLifetime property. All feature objects are constructed as Scoped lifetime.
  • Some properties in FeatureFlagOptions related to the user-interface / API. They have been moved to FeatureFlagUiSettings.
  • Classes: CachedSqlFeatureProvider, FeatureFlags, FeatureFlagsBuilder, and InMemoryFeatureProvider have all been removed.
  • Interfaces: IFeatureProvider has been removed.

v2.2 May 2022

  • Rework build process.
  • Package upgrades to address vulnerable dependencies.
