This interface represents a custom strategy for deciding whether a feature is active or not. Togglz ships with a few default implementations.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	getId() A unique id for this strategy.
String	getName() A human readable name of the strategy.
Parameter[]	getParameters() Returns the list of configuration parameter definitions for the strategy.
boolean	isActive(FeatureState featureState, FeatureUser user) This method is responsible to decide whether a feature is active or not.

Method Detail

getId

String getId()

A unique id for this strategy. This id is used to persist the selected strategy in the StateRepository.

getName

String getName()

A human readable name of the strategy. This name is used to in the admin console to represent the strategy.

isActive

boolean isActive(FeatureState featureState,
                 FeatureUser user)

This method is responsible to decide whether a feature is active or not. The implementation can use the custom configuration parameters of the strategy stored in the feature state and information from the currently acting user to find a decision.

Parameters:

featureState - The feature state which represents the current configuration of the feature. The implementation of the method typically uses FeatureState.getParameter(String) to access custom configuration paramater values.

user - The user for which to decide whether the feature is active. May be null if the user could not be identified by the UserProvider.

Returns:

true if the feature should be active, else false

getParameters

Parameter[] getParameters()

Returns the list of configuration parameter definitions for the strategy. Parameters are typically built using a ParameterBuilder class but users can also create custom implementations of the Parameter interface.

Example:

 public Parameter[] getParameters() {
     return new Parameter[] {
             ParameterBuilder.create("country").label("Country Code").matching("[A-Z]+")
     };
 }
