OpenFeature SDK Integration

Vendor-agnostic feature flag SDK providing standardized API across languages and providers. Use when implementing feature flags, A/B testing, canary releases, or progressive rollouts with any feature flag backend.

When to Use

Automatic activation triggers:

• User mentions "feature flags", "feature toggles", or "feature management"
• User asks about A/B testing or canary releases
• User wants to implement progressive rollouts
• Project has OpenFeature SDK dependencies
• User mentions OpenFeature, flagd, or vendor-agnostic flags

Related skills:

• go-feature-flag - Specific GO Feature Flag provider details
• launchdarkly - LaunchDarkly provider integration

Key Components

1. API - Standardized interface for flag evaluation
2. Provider - Backend-specific implementation
3. Evaluation Context - User/request data for targeting
4. Hooks - Lifecycle extensions for logging, telemetry

Basic Usage Patterns

Initialization

// TypeScript/Node.js
import { OpenFeature } from '@openfeature/server-sdk';
import { GoFeatureFlagProvider } from '@openfeature/go-feature-flag-provider';

// Initialize provider
const provider = new GoFeatureFlagProvider({
  endpoint: process.env.GOFF_RELAY_URL || 'http://localhost:1031',
});

// Set provider (awaitable for ready state)
await OpenFeature.setProviderAndWait(provider);

// Get client
const client = OpenFeature.getClient('my-app');

Flag Evaluation

// Boolean flag
const isEnabled = await client.getBooleanValue('new-feature', false);

// String flag
const buttonColor = await client.getStringValue('button-color', '#000000');

// Number flag
const maxItems = await client.getNumberValue('max-items', 10);

// Object/JSON flag
const config = await client.getObjectValue('feature-config', {});

// With evaluation context
const context = { targetingKey: userId, email: userEmail, groups: ['beta'] };
const isEnabled = await client.getBooleanValue('new-feature', false, context);

Evaluation Context

// Creating context
const context: EvaluationContext = {
  // Required: unique identifier for targeting
  targetingKey: user.id,

  // Optional: additional attributes for targeting rules
  email: user.email,
  groups: user.roles,
  plan: user.subscription,

  // Custom attributes
  country: request.geoip.country,
  browser: request.headers['user-agent'],
};

// Set global context (applies to all evaluations)
OpenFeature.setContext(context);

// Or per-evaluation context
await client.getBooleanValue('feature', false, context);

Hooks

import { Hook, HookContext, EvaluationDetails } from '@openfeature/server-sdk';

// Logging hook
const loggingHook: Hook = {
  before: (hookContext: HookContext) => {
    console.log(`Evaluating flag: ${hookContext.flagKey}`);
  },
  after: (hookContext: HookContext, details: EvaluationDetails<unknown>) => {
    console.log(`Flag ${hookContext.flagKey} = ${details.value}`);
  },
  error: (hookContext: HookContext, error: Error) => {
    console.error(`Error evaluating ${hookContext.flagKey}:`, error);
  },
};

// Register globally
OpenFeature.addHooks(loggingHook);

// Or per-client
client.addHooks(loggingHook);

React Integration

import { OpenFeatureProvider, useFlag, useBooleanFlagValue } from '@openfeature/react-sdk';
import { GoFeatureFlagWebProvider } from '@openfeature/go-feature-flag-web-provider';

// Provider setup
const provider = new GoFeatureFlagWebProvider({
  endpoint: import.meta.env.VITE_GOFF_RELAY_URL,
});

function App() {
  return (
    <OpenFeatureProvider provider={provider}>
      <MyComponent />
    </OpenFeatureProvider>
  );
}

// Using flags in components
function MyComponent() {
  // Simple boolean value
  const isEnabled = useBooleanFlagValue('new-feature', false);

  // Full flag details
  const { value, isLoading, error } = useFlag('button-color', '#000');

  if (isLoading) return <Spinner />;

  return (
    <div>
      {isEnabled && <NewFeature />}
      <Button color={value}>Click me</Button>
    </div>
  );
}

Testing

In-Memory Provider

import { OpenFeature } from '@openfeature/server-sdk';
import { InMemoryProvider } from '@openfeature/in-memory-provider';

// Configure test flags
const testProvider = new InMemoryProvider({
  'new-feature': {
    variants: {
      on: true,
      off: false,
    },
    defaultVariant: 'off',
    disabled: false,
  },
  'button-color': {
    variants: {
      blue: '#0066CC',
      green: '#00CC66',
    },
    defaultVariant: 'blue',
    disabled: false,
  },
});

// Use in tests
beforeAll(async () => {
  await OpenFeature.setProviderAndWait(testProvider);
});

afterAll(async () => {
  await OpenFeature.close();
});

Mocking in Unit Tests

import { vi } from 'vitest';
import { OpenFeature } from '@openfeature/server-sdk';

// Mock the entire SDK
vi.mock('@openfeature/server-sdk', () => ({
  OpenFeature: {
    getClient: vi.fn().mockReturnValue({
      getBooleanValue: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(true),
      getStringValue: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue('test-value'),
    }),
  },
}));

Best Practices

1. Initialize Early

// Initialize before app starts handling requests
async function bootstrap() {
  await initializeFeatureFlags();  // First
  await initializeDatabase();
  await startServer();
}

2. Use Meaningful Flag Names

// Good: descriptive, namespaced
'checkout.new-payment-flow'
'dashboard.beta-analytics'
'api.rate-limit-v2'

// Bad: vague, unclear
'feature1'
'test-flag'
'enabled'

3. Always Provide Defaults

// Good: safe default that works if provider fails
const isEnabled = await client.getBooleanValue('risky-feature', false);

// Consider: what's the safe behavior if flags fail?
const maxItems = await client.getNumberValue('max-items', 100); // Safe limit

4. Handle Provider Errors

try {
  const value = await client.getBooleanValue('feature', false);
} catch (error) {
  // Log but don't crash - use default
  logger.error('Feature flag evaluation failed', { error });
  return defaultBehavior();
}

5. Clean Up Old Flags

// Track flag usage with hooks
const flagUsageHook: Hook = {
  after: (context, details) => {
    metrics.increment(`feature_flag.${context.flagKey}.evaluations`);
  },
};

// Regularly review and remove flags with 100% rollout
// or flags that haven't been evaluated in months
