Is there a way to get all feature flags for a user ?

[balpal4495]

i know that there is a function called getAllFeatureFlags in the utils file, but this doesn't seem to be working correctly.

Hi @balpal4495, sorry for the late response. Can you show me your current usage of getAllFeatureFlags? We currently use that function at TrueCar and it works as expected for us.

Just to add, getAllFeatureFlags does require the args key, user, key being your LaunchDarkly client ID and user being the LaunchDarkly user object as defined here: https://docs.launchdarkly.com/docs/js-sdk-reference#section-users

@jacobmoretti Thanks for your response, I was trying to use getAllFeatureFlags by wrapping it in a an async/await function within my react component. and passed the user and key to it in the parameters, but i simply kept getting back an empty object.

[jacobmoretti]

Your use case shouldn't be a problem. Do you mind sharing the code of your implementation? We use getAllFeatureFlags successfully in the exact same way with async/await. Curious why this is failing for you.

[balpal4495]

so i would be using it in this way.

import { getAllFeatureFlags } from 'react-launch-darkly';

export const getFlags = async (user) => {
  cost response = await getAllFeatureFlags(user)
  return response;
}

This just returns back an empty object

[jacobmoretti]

getAllFeatureFlags takes two args: https://github.com/TrueCar/react-launch-darkly/blob/master/src/lib/utils.js#L82

The first argument needs to be your LaunchDarkly client id. Second argument is the user object.

[balpal4495]

So i tried that and it didn't seem to make any difference.

import { getAllFeatureFlags } from 'react-launch-darkly';

export const getFlags = async (clientId, user) => {
  cost response = await getAllFeatureFlags(clientId, user)
  return response;
}

I receive a promise, and if i check the the response from .then I simple receive an empty object.

I checked the docs on launchdarkly , and they specify that a user is sent as a parameter to get allFlags.

so should the user not be added to the params on this line https://github.com/TrueCar/react-launch-darkly/blob/b99c6fd894bf593b186b8c799240dda5aee95d34/src/lib/utils.js#L86 ?

[balpal4495]

ok, never mind that, i figured it out.

i was using using a user id for the key and it should have been like this.

solution if anybody is stuck on the same issue.

getAllFeatureFlags(clientId, { key: user } )

[jacobmoretti]

Ahh yes that would be a problem. Those two args are described here: https://github.com/TrueCar/react-launch-darkly#props. At the moment getAllFeatureFlags is undocumented, mostly because I've been trying to come up with a solution for it where you don't have to pass the client id and user object.

Closing this issue as its been resolved.
