LaunchDarkly SDK for Ruby

Quick setup

  1. Install the Ruby SDK with gem
gem install ldclient-rb
  1. Require the LaunchDarkly client:
require 'ldclient-rb'
  1. Create a new LDClient with your SDK key:
client = LaunchDarkly::LDClient.new("your_sdk_key")

Ruby on Rails

  1. Add gem 'ldclient-rb' to your Gemfile and bundle install

  2. Initialize the launchdarkly client in config/initializers/launchdarkly.rb:

Rails.configuration.ld_client = LaunchDarkly::LDClient.new("your_sdk_key")
  1. You may want to include a function in your ApplicationController
    def launchdarkly_settings
      if current_user.present?
        {
          key: current_user.id,
          anonymous: false,
          email: current_user.email,
          custom: { groups: current_user.groups.pluck(:name) },
          # Any other fields you may have
          # e.g. lastName: current_user.last_name,
        }
      else
        if Rails::VERSION::MAJOR <= 3
          hash_key = request.session_options[:id]
        else
          hash_key = session.id
        end
        # session ids should be private to prevent session hijacking
        hash_key = Digest::SHA256.base64digest hash_key
        {
          key: hash_key,
          anonymous: true,
        }
      end
    end
  1. In your controllers, access the client using
Rails.application.config.ld_client.variation('your.flag.key', launchdarkly_settings, false)

Note that this gem will automatically switch to using the Rails logger it is detected.

Your first feature flag

  1. Create a new feature flag on your dashboard
  2. In your application code, use the feature's key to check whether the flag is on for each user:
if client.variation("your.flag.key", {key: "user@test.com"}, false)
  # application code to show the feature
else
  # the code to run if the feature is off
end

Testing

We run integration tests for all our SDKs using a centralized test harness. This approach gives us the ability to test for consistency across SDKs, as well as test networking behavior in a long-running application. These tests cover each method in the SDK, and verify that event sending, flag evaluation, stream reconnection, and other aspects of the SDK all behave correctly.
