Feature flags, also known as feature toggles, enable developers to control the visibility of features at runtime without redeploying code.
LaunchDarkly is a platform that allows for feature flag implementation and management at scale, enabling safe feature releases, targeted user experiences, real-time control, and experimentation.
To leverage feature flags in React with LaunchDarkly, the process involves creating a FeatureFlag component, setting the Client-side ID in the .env file, installing the LaunchDarkly Client SDK, and creating a Feature Flag on the LaunchDarkly Dashboard.
Additionally, creating a FeatureFlag Hook & Wrapper Component, mapping custom attributes to Feature Flags, and utilizing feature flags within components based on user attributes are essential steps in implementing feature flags with LaunchDarkly in React.
