| 1 | +# FlipFlag React |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +React bindings for **FlipFlag** — feature flags and remote configuration for React and Next.js applications. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Built on top of [`@flipflag/sdk`](https://github.com/flipflag-dev/sdk), this package provides idiomatic React APIs: |
| 6 | +**providers, hooks, and safe client-side defaults**. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +--- |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## Features |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +- React-first API (`Provider`, hooks) |
| 13 | +- Works with **React 18+** and **Next.js (App & Pages Router)** |
| 14 | +- Safe by default for the browser (public key only) |
| 15 | +- Automatic re-rendering on flag updates |
| 16 | +- Optional SSR-friendly bootstrapping |
| 17 | +- Full TypeScript support |
| 18 | +- Zero config required on the client |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +--- |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## Installation |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +```sh |
| 25 | +npm install @flipflag/react @flipflag/sdk |
| 26 | +# or |
| 27 | +yarn add @flipflag/react @flipflag/sdk |
| 28 | +``` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +> `react` and `@flipflag/sdk` are declared as peer dependencies. |
| 31 | +
|
| 32 | +--- |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Core Concepts |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +- **`FlipFlagProvider`** |
| 37 | + Owns a single `FlipFlag` manager instance and handles lifecycle (`init`, polling, `destroy`). |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +- **Hooks (`useFlag`, `useFlags`)** |
| 40 | + Read feature flags reactively inside components. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +- **Client-safe by default** |
| 43 | + Designed to run in the browser using a **public key only**. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +--- |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +## Quick Start (React) |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +```tsx |
| 50 | +import { FlipFlagProvider, useFlag } from "@flipflag/react"; |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +function NewNavbar() { |
| 53 | + const enabled = useFlag("new-navbar", false); |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + return enabled ? <div>New navbar</div> : <div>Old navbar</div>; |
| 56 | +} |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +export function App() { |
| 59 | + return ( |
| 60 | + <FlipFlagProvider |
| 61 | + options={{ |
| 62 | + publicKey: "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY", |
| 63 | + }} |
| 64 | + > |
| 65 | + <NewNavbar /> |
| 66 | + </FlipFlagProvider> |
| 67 | + ); |
| 68 | +} |
| 69 | +``` |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +--- |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +## Next.js (App Router) |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +### `app/providers.tsx` |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +```tsx |
| 78 | +"use client"; |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +import { FlipFlagProvider } from "@flipflag/react"; |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +export function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) { |
| 83 | + return ( |
| 84 | + <FlipFlagProvider |
| 85 | + options={{ |
| 86 | + publicKey: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_FLIPFLAG_PUBLIC_KEY!, |
| 87 | + ignoreMissingConfig: true |
| 88 | + }} |
| 89 | + > |
| 90 | + {children} |
| 91 | + </FlipFlagProvider> |
| 92 | + ); |
| 93 | +} |
| 94 | +``` |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +### `app/layout.tsx` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +```tsx |
| 99 | +import { Providers } from "./providers"; |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +export default function RootLayout({ |
| 102 | + children, |
| 103 | +}: { |
| 104 | + children: React.ReactNode; |
| 105 | +}) { |
| 106 | + return ( |
| 107 | + <html> |
| 108 | + <body> |
| 109 | + <Providers>{children}</Providers> |
| 110 | + </body> |
| 111 | + </html> |
| 112 | + ); |
| 113 | +} |
| 114 | +``` |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +--- |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +## Hooks API |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +### `useFlag(name, fallback?)` |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +Returns a boolean feature flag value. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +```ts |
| 125 | +const enabled = useFlag("checkout-v2"); |
| 126 | +``` |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +With fallback: |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +```ts |
| 131 | +const enabled = useFlag("checkout-v2", false); |
| 132 | +``` |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +--- |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +### `useFlags(names, fallback?)` |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +Read multiple flags at once. |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +```ts |
| 141 | +const flags = useFlags(["checkout-v2", "new-navbar"] as const); |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +flags["checkout-v2"]; |
| 144 | +flags["new-navbar"]; |
| 145 | +``` |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +--- |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +### `useFlipFlagReady()` |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +Check SDK initialization state. |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +```ts |
| 154 | +const { ready, error } = useFlipFlagReady(); |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +if (!ready) return <Spinner />; |
| 157 | +if (error) return <ErrorState />; |
| 158 | +``` |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +--- |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +## Provider Options |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +```ts |
| 165 | +export type FlipFlagReactOptions = { |
| 166 | + publicKey: string; |
| 167 | + privateKey?: string; // ⚠️ server-only |
| 168 | + apiUrl?: string; |
| 169 | + configPath?: string; |
| 170 | + ignoreMissingConfig?: boolean; |
| 171 | + refreshIntervalMs?: number; // default: 10_000 |
| 172 | + initialFlags?: Record<string, boolean>; |
| 173 | +}; |
| 174 | +``` |
