# @alfresco/adf-core/feature-flags
Secondary entry point of `@alfresco/adf-core`. It can be used by importing from `@alfresco/adf-core/feature-flags`.
Feature flags (aka feature toggles) are a concept that allow product owners to control the availability of a feature in a particular environment. A product manager may use feature flags to hide a feature that isn't complete yet, roll out a feature to a select set of end-users in order to gather feedback, or coordinate a feature "go live" with marketing and other departments. From a developer perspective, feature flags are an important tool that allows them to continually commit their code even if a feature is not complete, thus a proper feature flag capability is essential to a functional continuous delivery model.
Because this library system is BE/Framework agnostic, it's required to implement the service that manages the retrieval of FeatureFlags and provide it to the AppModule:
```javascript
@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
providers: [
{ provide: OverridableFeaturesServiceToken, useClass: <YourCustomFeaturesService> },
{ provide: FeaturesServiceToken, useExisting: OverridableFeaturesServiceToken },
{ provide: FeaturesServiceConfigToken, useValue: <CustomConfiguration> }
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}
```
`<YourCustomFeaturesService>` is a service that implements the `IFeaturesService` interface:
```javascript
interface IFeaturesService<T = FlagChangeset> {
init(): Observable<T>;
isOn$(key: string): Observable<boolean>;
isOff$(key: string): Observable<boolean>;
getFlags$(): Observable<T>;
}
```
A `FlagChangeset` is an Object in which keys are Feature Flag names, and values are the current and previous enabled status for that particular flag. The previous status can be null.
```javascript
interface FlagChangeset {
[key: string]: {
current: boolean;
previous: boolean | null;
};
}
```
Optionally, is possible to provide a `<CustomConfiguration>`
```javascript
{
storageKey?: string;
helperExposeKeyOnDocument?: string;
}
```
`storageKey`: Local Storage key to save feature flags (default: `'feature-flags'`)
`helperExposeKeyOnDocument`: browser document key to add commands to enable or disable feature flags from the browser console.
