GO Feature Flag provider for OpenFeature

GO Feature Flag Python Provider

GO Feature Flag provider allows you to connect to your GO Feature Flag instance.

GO Feature Flag believes in simplicity and offers a simple and lightweight solution to use feature flags.
Our focus is to avoid any complex infrastructure work to use GO Feature Flag.

This is a complete feature flagging solution with the possibility to target only a group of users, use any types of flags, store your configuration in various location and advanced rollout functionality. You can also collect usage data of your flags and be notified of configuration changes.

Python SDK usage

Install dependencies

The first things we will do is install the Open Feature SDK and the GO Feature Flag provider.

pip install gofeatureflag-python-provider

Initialize your Open Feature client

To evaluate the flags you need to have an Open Feature configured in you app. This code block shows you how you can create a client that you can use in your application.

from gofeatureflag_python_provider.provider import GoFeatureFlagProvider
from gofeatureflag_python_provider.options import GoFeatureFlagOptions
from openfeature import api
from openfeature.evaluation_context import EvaluationContext

# ...

goff_provider = GoFeatureFlagProvider(
    options=GoFeatureFlagOptions(endpoint="https://gofeatureflag.org/")
)
api.set_provider(goff_provider)
client = api.get_client(domain="test-client")

Evaluate your flag

This code block explains how you can create an EvaluationContext and use it to evaluate your flag.

In this example we are evaluating a boolean flag, but other types are available.

Refer to the Open Feature documentation to know more about it.

# Context of your flag evaluation.
# With GO Feature Flag you MUST have a targetingKey that is a unique identifier of the user.
evaluation_ctx = EvaluationContext(
    targeting_key="d45e303a-38c2-11ed-a261-0242ac120002",
    attributes={
        "email": "[e-mail]",
        "firstname": "john",
        "lastname": "doe",
        "anonymous": False,
        "professional": True,
        "rate": 3.14,
        "age": 30,
        "company_info": {"name": "my_company", "size": 120},
        "labels": ["pro", "beta"],
    },
)

admin_flag = client.get_boolean_value(
          flag_key=flag_key,
          default_value=default_value,
          evaluation_context=ctx,
      )

if admin_flag:
  # flag "flag-only-for-admin" is true for the user
else:
  # flag "flag-only-for-admin" is false for the user
