Installation

Yarn

samuelcastro@mac:~$ yarn add react-splitio

NPM

samuelcastro@mac:~$ npm install react-splitio

Configuration

On your root component define the Split provider:

const SDK_CONFIG_OBJECT = {
  core: {
    authorizationKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    key: 'key',
    trafficType: 'A_TRAFFIC_TYPE',
  },
};

<SplitProvider config={SDK_CONFIG_OBJECT}>
  <App />
</SplitProvider>;

Learn more about how to create your SDK_CONFIG_OBJECT:

Performance

Note that if your SDK_CONFIG_OBJECT is defined inside of a component it will create unnecessary work for SplitProvider, because the object will have a different identity each render (previousConfig !== newConfig).

Instead define config outside of your component:

const SDK_CONFIG_OBJECT = { ... };

const Root = () => (
  <SplitProvider config={config}>
    <App />
  </SplitProvider>
)

Or if you need to configure dynamically, memoize the object:

const MySplitProvider = ({ trafficType, children }) => {
  const config = useMemo(
    () => ({
      core: {
        authorizationKey: '',
        trafficType,
      },
    }),
    [trafficType],
  );
  return <SplitProvider config={config}>{children}</SplitProvider>;
};

Impression Listener

Split allows you to implement a custom impression listener. SplitProvider has an optional convenience onImpression callback you can use instead.

<SplitProvider config={} onImpression={impressionData => {
  // do something with the impression data.
}}>

Usage

Now assuming you have a split named feature1 you can do something like:

With Hooks

const [feature1, config] = useSplit('feature1');
if (feature1 === 'on') {
  return <Feature1 />;
}

Optional attributes can also be passed in:

const [feature1, config] = useSplit('feature1', { paying_customer: true });

With Render Props

<Split name="feature1">
  {(value: TreatmentWithConfig) =>
    value.treatment === 'on' ? this.renderComponent() : null
  }
</Split>

You can optionally pass a list of splits:

<Split name={['feature1', 'feature2']}>
  {(values: TreatmentsWithConfig) => {
    console.log(values);
    // {
    //  feature1: { treatment: 'on', config: null }
    //  feature2: { treatment: 'off', config: '{"bannerText":"Click here."}' }
    // }
    return something;
  }}
</Split>

And also, optional attributes can be passed in:

<Split name='feature1' attributes={{ paying_customer: true }}>
  {(values: TreatmentsWithConfig) => {...}
</Split>

Tracking

We have a useTrack hook which returns the a function with the same signature as client.track.

const track = useTrack();
function handleClick() {
  const queued = track('user', 'click', 'the_button', { foo: 'bar' });
}

Advanced: Instantiate multiple/shared SDK clients

We also support multiple clients instantiation as described in the Split.io documentation.

All you need to do is wrap your Split component with SplitClient passing splitKey and opttionally trafficType like so:

<SplitClient splitKey="myKey" trafficType="...">
  <Split name="...">
</SplitClient>

Contributing

Fork and Clone the Project

To start contributing first of all fork the project, to fork just click in the Fork button and then clone your own forked version of react-splitio.

samuelcastro@mac:~$ git clone https://github.com/[YOUR_USER]/react-splitio.git
samuelcastro@mac:~$ cd react-splitio
samuelcastro@mac:~/react-splitio$

Install Depedencies

On react-splitio install all dependencies running: yarn or npm

samuelcastro@mac:~/react-splitio$ yarn

Adding a commit to the Project

In order for create more organized and meaningful commits I'm using commitizen. Commitizen has been added as a dev dependancy.

To add a commit, you can run:

samuelcastro@mac:~/react-splitio$ yarn commit or npm run commit

This command will run ts-lint and prettier to format your code if everything is ok.

All Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

yarn build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It uses Typescript TSC tool to compile files into CommonJS

yarn test

Runs unit tests

yarn commit

Utilizes commitizen to properly version the commit. While running the command you will be asked to classify the commit.

yarn tslint, yarn tslint:fix and yarn lint

Run tslint.

yarn prettier:base and yarn prettier:write

Run prettier to format code.

yarn format

Run prettier and lint auto fix

yarn install:local and install:local:all

I'm using Yalc to manage local and custom npm packages. Yalc was developed to help us publish/install node modules without need to publish them on NPM, it's better and optmized option than yarn/npm link.

yarn update:local

Update local custom node modules packages

TODO

• Unit tests
• Integrate Semantic Release to automate the releasing process.
