Setting service provider
This package provide auto discovery for service provider
If Laravel package auto-discovery is disabled, add service providers manually to /config/app.php. There are service provider you must add:
\Abrouter\LaravelClient\Providers\AbrouterServiceProvider::class
Publish client configuration
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=abrouter
Configure ABRouter client
Put your ABRouter token in /config/abrouter.php. You can find this token in ABRouter dashboard:
<?php
return [
'token' => '14da89de1713a74c1ed50aafaff18c24bf372a9913e67e6a7a915def3332a97c9c9ecbe2cd6d3047',
'host' => 'https://abrouter.com',
];
Configure Parallel running
Parallel running is a feature that allows you to run A/B tests asynchronously. It requires ready-to-use Laravel cache (probably by Redis).
This feature enables caching of experiment branches to run the experiment locally, then using Laravel built-in queues to sync the data with ABRouter server. Please make sure, your supervisor config, queues and caching storage is enabled in Laravel to use.
Parallel running allows to run your A/B tests without blocking. Additionally, you can configure it on your own.
🚀 Running A/B tests
<?php
use Abrouter\Client\Client;
class ExampleController
{
public function __invoke(Client $client)
{
$buttonColor = $client->experiments()->run(uniqid(), 'D1D06000-0000-0000-00005030');
return view('button', [
'color' => $buttonColor->getBranchId(),
]);
}
}
🚀 Running feature flags
use Abrouter\Client\Client;
class ExampleController
{
public function __invoke(Client $client)
{
$isEnabledButton = $client->featureFlags()->run('enabled_button_feature_flag');
return view('featureFlags', [
'enabledButtonFeatureFlag' => $isEnabledButton,
]);
}
}
🚀 Sending the stats
use Abrouter\Client\Client;
class ExampleController
{
public function __invoke(Client $client)
{
//ABRouter can store more data. Please learn more in EventDTO arguments.
$client->statistics()->sendEvent(new EventDTO(
null,
$userId,
'visited_test_page'
));
}
}
Please note, you can use the IncrementalEventDTO (Abrouter\Client\DTO\IncrementalEventDTO) if you would like to send the increment counter statistics, and SummarizeEventDTO(same namespace) to track some sum.
Managing UI
You can create an experiment/feature flags and set up statistics and get your token and id of experiment on ABRouter or just read the docs.
