Environments

Overview

This section explains how to integrate development environments with Tggl and use them in your segmentation to enable features based on if the user is in production, staging, or local development environments.

You are not limited in the number of environment you can have and can very easily switch or share logic between environments.

It is also important to note that environments are set for each project, meaning that you can have a completely different set of environment between your web application and your iOS or Android app.

Setting up your environments

By default, each project comes with three environments:

• production
• staging
• development

If you need to add or rename environments to fit you existing workflow, start by selecting your project in the upper left corner and go to the context menu.

Edit the Environment property to add / rename environments as needed and hit Update.

Passing the environment from your code

In your code you simply need to pass the environment as a context key. For Node.js this might look like this id the environment can be retrieved from en env-var:

await client.setContext({
  environment: process.env.environment,
  // Other context properties like userId, email...
})

Here we use the environment key because it is the one we setted up in Tggl as shown on the screenshot below. You can use any key you want by changing it on the Tggl app.

How to enable features for specific environments only?

Create a feature flag and use the environment in your conditions to enable it for specific environments only. Here we enabled the feature only for the staging and development environments:

How to conditionally enable features based on the environment?

You can add complex logic to you feature flag's conditions. In this example we enabled the feature for all users for development and staging, and only enabled it for France for production.
