Flare.OpenFeature.Provider

OpenFeature provider for Flare feature flag management system. Supports in-memory caching with background polling, provider lifecycle events, and automatic context conversion.

Installation

dotnet add package Flare.OpenFeature.Provider

Quick Start

services.AddOpenFeature(builder =>
{
    builder.AddFlareProvider(new FlareApiClientOptions
    {
        BaseUrl = "https://flare.example.com",
        ApiKey = "your-api-key",
        Scope = "production"
    });
});

With IConfiguration binding

{
  "Flare": {
    "BaseUrl": "https://flare.example.com",
    "ApiKey": "your-api-key",
    "Scope": "production"
  }
}
services.AddOpenFeature(builder =>
{
    builder.AddFlareProvider(configuration);
});

With custom caching options

services.AddOpenFeature(builder =>
{
    builder.AddFlareProvider(
        new FlareApiClientOptions
        {
            BaseUrl = "https://flare.example.com",
            ApiKey = "your-api-key",
            Scope = "production"
        },
        new FlareProviderOptions
        {
            PollingInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(15),
            StaleThreshold = 5,
            CachingEnabled = true
        });
});

Evaluating Flags

public class MyService
{
    private readonly IFeatureClient _client;

    public MyService(IFeatureClient client) => _client = client;

    public async Task DoWork()
    {
        var isEnabled = await _client.GetBooleanValueAsync("my-flag", false);
    }
}

Features

Caching and Background Polling

When caching is enabled (default), the provider:

  1. Fetches all flags on initialization and populates an in-memory cache
  2. Resolves flags from cache for near-instant evaluations
  3. Polls the Flare API in the background to keep the cache fresh
  4. Emits OpenFeature events on flag changes, errors, and staleness

Cache reads are lock-free using volatile reference swap for minimal overhead on the hot path.

Provider Events

The provider emits standard OpenFeature events:

Event When
ProviderConfigurationChanged Background poll detects flag value or variant changes
ProviderError A poll attempt fails
ProviderStale Consecutive poll failures exceed the stale threshold

Direct Evaluation Fallback

When caching is disabled, flags are evaluated directly against the Flare API per request. Errors are surfaced as OpenFeature FeatureProviderException subtypes (GeneralException, ProviderNotReadyException, ParseErrorException, etc.), which the SDK handles automatically.

Configuration Options

FlareApiClientOptions

Option Type Default Description
BaseUrl string Required Flare API base URL
ApiKey string Required API key for authentication
Scope string Required Scope/environment (e.g., "production")

FlareProviderOptions

Option Type Default Description
PollingInterval TimeSpan 30s Background poll interval
StaleThreshold int 3 Consecutive failures before emitting ProviderStale
CachingEnabled bool true Enable in-memory caching with background polling

Supported Value Types

Currently only boolean flag evaluation is supported. Calling GetStringValueAsync, GetIntegerValueAsync, GetDoubleValueAsync, or GetStructureValueAsync will throw a TypeMismatchException.
