Release 3.2.0-alpha

[3.2.0-alpha] - April 26nd, 2019

New Features

• Added support for automatic datafile management

  • To use automatic datafile management, include sdkKey as a string property in the options object you pass to createInstance.
  • When sdkKey is provided, the SDK instance will download the datafile associated with that sdkKey immediately upon construction. When the download completes, the SDK instance will update itself to use the downloaded datafile.
  • Use the onReady method to wait until the download is complete and the SDK is ready to use.
  • Customize datafile management behavior by passing a datafileOptions object within the options you pass to createInstance.
    • Enable automatic updates by passing autoUpdate: true. Periodically (on the provided update interval), the SDK instance will download the datafile and update itself. Use this to ensure that the SDK instance is using a fresh datafile reflecting changes recently made to your experiment or feature configuration.
  • Add a notification listener for the OPTIMIZELY_CONFIG_UPDATE notification type to be notified when an instance updates its Optimizely config after obtaining a new datafile.
  • Stop active downloads and cancel pending downloads by calling the close method

  Create an instance with datafile management enabled

  const optimizely = require('@optimizely/optimizely-sdk');
  const optimizelyClientInstance = optimizely.createInstance({
    sdkKey: '12345', // Provide the sdkKey of your desired environment here
  });

  Use onReady to wait until optimizelyClientInstance has a datafile

  const optimizely = require('@optimizely/optimizely-sdk');
  const optimizelyClientInstance = optimizely.createInstance({
    sdkKey: '12345',
  });
  optimizelyClientInstance.onReady().then(() => {
    // optimizelyClientInstance is ready to use, with datafile downloaded from the Optimizely CDN
  });

  Enable automatic updates, add notification listener for OPTIMIZELY_CONFIG_UPDATE notification type, and stop automatic updates

  const optimizely = require('@optimizely/optimizely-sdk');
  const optimizelyClientInstance = optimizely.createInstance({
    sdkKey: '12345',
    datafileOptions: {
      autoUpdate: true,
      updateInterval: 600000 // 10 minutes in milliseconds
    },
  });
  optimizelyClientInstance.notificationCenter.addNotificationListener(
    optimizely.enums.NOTIFICATION_TYPES.OPTIMIZELY_CONFIG_UPDATE,
    () => {
      // optimizelyClientInstance has updated its Optimizely config
    },
  );
  // Stop automatic updates - optimizelyClientInstance will use whatever datafile it currently has from now on
  optimizelyClientInstance.close();

Changed

• Forced variation logic has been moved from the project config module to the decision service. Prefixes for forced-variation-related log messages will reflect this change.
