Conditions¶

Built-in conditions¶

Django-Flags comes with the following conditions built-in:

boolean¶

A simple boolean true/false intended to enable or disable a flag explicitly. The state of the flag evaluates to the value of the boolean condition.

FLAGS = {'MY_FLAG': [{'condition': 'boolean', 'value': True}]}

The value can given as a Python True or False or as any string representation of truth, such as y, yes, t, true, on and 1 for true values, and n, no, f, false, off and 0 for false values.

user¶

Allows a flag to be enabled for the username given as the condition's value.

FLAGS = {'MY_FLAG': [{'condition': 'user', 'value': 'jane.doe'}]}

anonymous¶

Allows a flag to be either enabled or disabled depending on whether a user is anonymous (not logged in) to Django.

# MY_FLAG is enabled if the user is not anonymous (is logged in)
FLAGS = {'MY_FLAG': [{'condition': 'anonymous', 'value': False}]}

The value can given as a Python True or False or as any string representation of truth, such as y, yes, t, true, on and 1 for true values, and n, no, f, false, off and 0 for false values.

parameter¶

Allows a flag to be enabled by including a parameter in the request's query string. value is the name of the parameter, or a name and expected value. If an expected value isn't provided, the value must be True.

FLAGS = {
    'MY_FLAG': [
        {'condition': 'parameter', 'value': 'my_flag_param1'},      # ?my_flag_param1=true
        {'condition': 'parameter', 'value': 'my_flag_param2=now'},  # ?my_flag_param2=now
        {'condition': 'parameter', 'value': 'my_flag_param3='},     # ?my_flag_param3
    ]
}

path matches¶

Allows a flag to be enabled if the request's path matches the regular expression value.

FLAGS = {'MY_FLAG': [{'condition': 'path matches', 'value': r'^/flagged/path'}]}

after date¶

Allows a flag to be enabled after a given date (and time) given in ISO 8601 format. The time must be specified either in UTC or as an offset from UTC.

FLAGS = {'MY_FLAG': [{'condition': 'after date', 'value': '2017-06-01T12:00Z'}]}

before_date¶

Allows a flag to be enabled before a given date (and time) given in ISO 8601 format. The time must be specified either in UTC or as an offset from UTC.

FLAGS = {'MY_FLAG': {'before date': '2022-06-01T12:00Z'}}
