Minor Changes

  • bc7944e: Add createFlagsDiscoveryEndpoint helper functions when creating the /.well-known/vercel/flags endpoint for Next.js App Router and SvelteKit.

3.2.0

Minor Changes

  • 701f3c2: feat: provide precompute patterns for SvelteKit

3.1.2

3.1.1

Patch Changes

  • 6955b68: emit reduced console info when falling back to defaultValue during development
  • cf532da: Update package.json and tsup.config.js for flags package

3.1.0

Minor Changes

  • 76feb16: Add mergeProviderData function to @vercel/flags.

    This function allows merging ProviderData from multiple sources.

    This is handy when you declare feature flags in code, and want to extend those definitions with data loaded from your feature flag provider.

    import { verifyAccess, mergeProviderData, type ApiData } from '@vercel/flags';
    import { getProviderData } from '@vercel/flags/next';
    import { NextResponse, type NextRequest } from 'next/server';
    import { getProviderData as getStatsigProviderData } from '@flags-sdk/statsig';
    import * as flagsA from '../../../../flags-a'; // your feature flags file(s)
    import * as flagsB from '../../../../flags-b'; // your feature flags file(s)
    
    export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
      const access = await verifyAccess(request.headers.get('Authorization'));
      if (!access) return NextResponse.json(null, { status: 401 });
    
      const providerData = await mergeProviderData([
        // expose flags declared in code first
        getProviderData({ ...flagsA, ...flagsB }),
        // then enhance them with metadata from your flag provider
        getStatsigProviderData({ consoleApiKey: '', projectId: '' }),
      ]);
    
      return NextResponse.json<ApiData>(providerData);
    }

Patch Changes

  • 2713ea7: Handle undefined values

    • fix: Fall back to defaultValue when a feature flag returns undefined
    • fix: Throw error when a flag resolves to undefined and no defaultValue is present

    The value undefined can not be serialized so feature flags should never resolve to undefined. Use null instead.

    Fix exports

    • fix: Export Identify and Decide types

  • db89f0d: remove unstable_ prefixes

Minor Changes

  • db89f0d: @vercel/flags/next: Added a dedupe function

    dedupe is a middleware-friendly version of React.cache. It allows ensuring a function only ever runs once per request.

    import { dedupe } from '@vercel/flags/next';
    
    let i = 0;
    const runOnce = dedupe(async () => {
      return i++;
    });
    
    await runOnce(); // returns 0
    await runOnce(); // still returns 0

    This function is useful when you want to deduplicate work within each feature flag's decide function. For example if multiple flags need to check auth you can dedupe the auth function so it only runs once per request.

    dedupe is also useful to optimistically generate a random visitor id to be set in a cookie, while also allowing each feature flag to access the id. You can call a dedupe'd function to generate the random id within your Edge Middleware and also within your feature flag's decide functions. The function will return a consistent id.

    import { nanoid } from 'nanoid';
    import { cookies, headers } from 'next/headers';
    import { dedupe } from '@vercel/flags/next';
    
    /**
     * Reads the visitor id from a cookie or returns a new visitor id
     */
    export const getOrGenerateVisitorId = dedupe(
      async (): Promise<{ value: string; fresh: boolean }> => {
        const visitorIdCookie = (await cookies()).get('visitor-id')?.value;
    
        return visitorIdCookie
          ? { value: visitorIdCookie, fresh: false }
          : { value: nanoid(), fresh: true };
      },
    );

    Note: "once per request" is an imprecise description. A deduped function actually runs once per request, per compute instance. If a dedupe'd function is used in Edge Middleware and in a React Server Component it will run twice, as there are two separate compute instances handling this request.

    Note: This function acts as a sort of polyfill until similar functionality lands in Next.js directly.

2.7.0

Minor Changes

  • fb50709: Adds support for using feature flags in Pages Router.

    The same feature flag declared for App Router can now also be used in Pages Router. Feature flags need to be used server-side.

    Note that your implementation of the actual feature flag needs to be compatible with Pages Router if you plan on using it inside of Pages Router. This means you can not call functions like headers() and cookies() which are not available in Pages Router. You can instead rely on the headers and cookies arguments passed to your decide function as decide({ headers, cookies }).

    Dynamic usage example

    export async function getServerSideProps({ req }) {
      const showFreeDeliveryBanner = await showFreeDeliveryBannerFlag(req);
      return { props: { showFreeDeliveryBanner } };
    }

    Precomputed usage example

    import { bannerFlags, showFreeDeliveryBannerFlag } from './flags';
    import type {
      GetStaticPaths,
      GetStaticProps,
      InferGetStaticPropsType,
    } from 'next';
    import { unstable_generatePermutations as generatePermutations } from '@vercel/flags/next';
    
    export const getStaticPaths = (async () => {
      const codes = await generatePermutations(bannerFlags);
    
      return {
        paths: codes.map((code) => ({ params: { code } })),
        fallback: 'blocking',
      };
    }) satisfies GetStaticPaths;
    
    export const getStaticProps = (async (context) => {
      const showFreeDeliveryBanner = await showFreeDeliveryBannerFlag(
        context.params!.code as string,
        bannerFlags,
      );
    
      return { props: { showFreeDeliveryBanner } };
    }) satisfies GetStaticProps<{ showFreeDeliveryBanner: boolean }>;
  • 87503b6: Return createdAt and updatedAt as part of the provider data for those that support it

2.6.3

Patch Changes

  • 69f8df0: use defaultValue when an async decide function throws
  • 65d3d73: add MIT license

2.6.2

Patch Changes

  • 80e0737: Add Next.js 15 compatibility.

    Uses the async versions of headers and cookies to avoid warnings during development.

2.6.1

Patch Changes

  • 9c379a8: add pagination to LaunchDarkly provider

2.6.0

Minor Changes

  • 7b9aa17: evaluate flags once per request only by reusing the result
  • b049c26: add SvelteKit support

Patch Changes

  • c12f4d4: Deprecates FlagsReporter and injectFlags.

    Web Analytics now automatically detects flags present in the DOM, so these are no longer necessary.

    You can safely remove FlagsReporter and any calls to injectFlags.

  • 1be4799: add no-store to LaunchDarkly provider

2.5.1

Patch Changes

  • 3a68cf7: Simplify middleware usage

    BREAKING CHANGE: unstable_precompute now returns code directly

    Before

    const values = await unstable_precompute(precomputeFlags, context);
    const code = await unstable_serialize(precomputeFlags, values);

    After

    This can now be done in a single function call.

    const code = await unstable_precompute(precomputeFlags, context);

    Other notes

    unstable_precompute conceptually calls unstable_evaluate and unstable_serialize to generate the code.

    This can also be done manually if you need access to values:

    const values = await unstable_evaluate(precomputeFlags, context);
    const code = await unstable_serialize(precomputeFlags, values);

    It's also possible to get the value of a specific flag in middleware based on the precomputation:

    // flags.ts
    export const showBanner = flag({
      /* ... */
    });
    export const precomputeFlags = [showBanner /* ... */];
    
    // middleware.ts
    const code = await unstable_precompute(precomputeFlags, context);
    const banner = showBanner(code, precomputeFlags);
