Feature Flipper
===============

A set of simple feature flipper template tags that can be easily
extended.

Installation
------------

To install this, simply `pip install django-feature-flipper`.

Usage
-----

Configure your `INSTALLED_APPS` in `settings.py`

~~~~ {.python}
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'feature_flipper',
...
)
~~~~

This gives you access to the basic feature flipping models and template
tags. You can then use the basic `FeatureFlipper` that turns flags on
and off depending on your user, or customise your own.

### Basic Feature Flipper

Set the flag choices in your `settings.py` file as:

~~~~ {.python}
FEATURE_FLIPPER_FLAGS = (
('simple_feature', u'Simple Feature'),
('beta_testing', u'Beta Testing'),
)
~~~~

When you add features, simply add flags here and your application will
be able to access the new flags immediately.

### Custom Feature Flipper

To customise the feature flipper you can just extend
`feature_flipper.models.AbstractFeatureFlipper` with your own field.
This provides a major advantage over the basic flipper by letting you
determine your own reference for filtering out whether users get a
feature or not.

First, extend the `AbstractFeatureFlipper` model:

~~~~ {.python}
from feature_flipper.models import AbstractFeatureFlipper


class MyFeatureFlipper(AbstractFeatureFlipper):
"""
"""
USER_FEATURE_FIELD = 'company'

company = models.ForeignKey('myapp.Company')
~~~~

The `USER_FEATURE_FIELD` sets the field that should be used for lookups
when determining whether to show the feature to a user. The final part
is to reference this in your `settings.py`:

~~~~ {.python}
FEATURE_FLIPPER_MODEL = 'myapp.MyFeatureFlipper',
~~~~
