View Source ConfigCat.OverrideDataSource protocol (ConfigCat v4.0.2)

Data source for local overrides of feature flags and settings.

With flag overrides you can overwrite the feature flags & settings downloaded from the ConfigCat CDN with local values. Moreover, you can specify how the overrides should apply over the downloaded values. See behaviour/0.

Summary

Types

t()

All the types that implement this protocol.

Functions

Types

@type behaviour() :: :local_only | :local_over_remote | :remote_over_local

Flag override behaviour.

The following 3 behaviours are supported:

  • Local/Offline mode (:local_only): When evaluating values, the SDK will not use feature flags & settings from the ConfigCat CDN, but it will use all feature flags & settings that are loaded from local-override sources.

  • Local over remote (:local_over_remote): When evaluating values, the SDK will use all feature flags & settings that are downloaded from the ConfigCat CDN, plus all feature flags & settings that are loaded from local-override sources. If a feature flag or a setting is defined both in the downloaded and the local-override source then the local-override version will take precedence.

  • Remote over local (:remote_over_local): When evaluating values, the SDK will use all feature flags & settings that are downloaded from the ConfigCat CDN, plus all feature flags & settings that are loaded from local-override sources. If a feature flag or a setting is defined both in the downloaded and the local-override source then the downloaded version will take precedence.
