yarn start) - this might take a few minutes for the first time
Edit your first key
After setting up our environment, we're going to create our first key. Keys in tweek are the most basic building blocks and they reperesent a container for dynamic value that affect feature behaviors. Our first key, will be a key that responsible for the the color of a "sign up" button.
- Open http://editor.dev.tweek.localtest.me:81 in browser.
- Go to keys page.
- Click on "Add Key"
- Type my_app/sign_button/color
- Set value type to String
- Add default value "red"
- Save changes
- Click on "Add Rule"
- Set Property to Country (user) and set "=" and "Canada" in the other fields
- In Rule value set the value "blue"
- Click "Save changes"

Querying Tweek
Use curl/postman/chrome to fire GET Request:
- http://api.dev.tweek.localtest.me:81/api/v1/keys/my_app/sign_button/color -> expected to be "red"
- http://api.dev.tweek.localtest.me:81/api/v1/keys/my_app/sign_button/color?user.Country=canada -> expected to be "blue"
- http://api.dev.tweek.localtest.me:81/api/v1/keys/my_app/sign_button/_?user.Country=canada -> expected to be {"color":"blue"}
Using the rest api, an application can query Tweek for getting the right set of values for each specific user. More on Tweek Rest api.
Adding context data
Tweek provide's REST api for saving context data. Using the API, use curl/postman to fire POST Request:
- http://api.dev.tweek.localtest.me:81/api/v1/context/user/john {"Country":"Canada"}
After that, we can query Tweek API with:
- http://api.dev.tweek.localtest.me:81/api/v1/keys/my_app/sign_button/color?user=john -> expected to be "blue"
More on Context.
Gradual Feature Release
Create new key in the editor "my_app/sign_button/is_enabled" with value type "boolean" and default value False.
Add new rule, remove all conditions, set the the rule value to gradual release with 50%.
Try querying configuration with different users and You'll have different results.
