Project description

# Wagtail-Flags

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/cfpb/wagtail-flags.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/cfpb/wagtail-flags)
[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/cfpb/wagtail-flags/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/cfpb/wagtail-flags?branch=master)

Feature flags allow you to toggle functionality in the Wagtail based on configurable conditions.

Wagtail-Flags adds a Wagtail admin UI and Wagtail Site-based condition on top of [Django-Flags](https://github.com/cfpb/django-flags). For a more complete overview of feature flags and how to use them, please see the [Django-Flags documentation](https://cfpb.github.io/django-flags).

## Dependencies

- Django 1.8+ (including Django 2.0)
- Wagtail 1.10+ (including Wagtail 2.0)
- Django-Flags 3.0+
- Python 2.7+, 3.6+

## Installation

1. Install wagtail-flags:

```shell
pip install wagtail-flags
```

2. Add `flags` and `wagtailflags` as installed apps in your Django `settings.py`:

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'flags',
'wagtailflags',
...
)
```

## Usage

Please see the [Django-Flags documentation](https://cfpb.github.io/django-flags) for the most current information about defining and checking feature flags.

First, define the flag in Django `settings.py`:

```python
FLAGS = {
'MY_FLAG': {}
}
```

Then use the flag in a Django template (`mytemplate.html`):

```django
{% load feature_flags %}
{% flag_enabled 'MY_FLAG' as my_flag %}

{% if my_flag %}
<div class="flagged-banner">
I’m the result of a feature flag.
</div>
{% endif %}
```

Next, configure a URL for that template (`urls.py`):

```python
from django.urls import path
from django.views.generic import TemplateView

urlpatterns = [
path(r'mypage/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='mytemplate.html')),
]
```

Finally, add conditions for the flag in the Wagtail admin under "Settings", "Flags":

## Extended conditions

Wagtail-Flags adds the following conditions to Django-Flags:

##### `site`

Allows a flag to be enabled for a Wagtail site that matches the hostname and port in the condition value.

```python
FLAGS = {'MY_FLAG': {'site': 'staging.mysite.com'}}
```
