Create Your First Flag

In this guide, you will learn how to create your first feature flag using FFlags.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:

• An FFlags account and organization setup.

Steps

1. Create a Group

   FFlags allows you to organize your flags into groups. Traditionally, you will have different environments, such as development, staging, and production. In FFlags, you can create groups to organize your flags based on your requirements. For example, prod_frontend, dev_backend, staging_backend, etc.

   Once you have created your organization, you can create a group by clicking on the Add Group button in the sidebar. Type the name of the group and click on the Create button.

2. Create a Flag

   On creating a group, you will see an option to create a flag with the CTA “Click to add a flag”. Click on the button to create a new flag.

3. Rename the Flag

   You can rename the flag by editing the flag: field. Give your flag a meaningful name that describes the feature it controls.

4. Write the Flag Logic

   You can write the flag logic in the code editor. The flag logic is written in JavaScript and should return a boolean, string, number or an object value.

5. Apply the Changes

   Once you have written the flag logic, click on the Apply Changes button to save the flag group.

6. All done!

   You have successfully created your first feature flag using FFlags.
