A feature toggling library for use with Sitecore
This will all be in a Nuget file eventually, but for now you'll need to configure it manually!
Add the section definition to your Web.config
<configSections>
<section name="featureToggles" type="Aqueduct.Toggles.Configuration.FeatureToggleConfigurationSection, Aqueduct.Toggles" />
</configSections>Add the featureToggles section. I've encluded some examples of how to configure it.
<featureToggles>
<feature name="CodeOnlyToggleExample" enabled="true" />
<feature name="SwapWholeLayoutForItemExample" enabled="true">
<layout item="<item id goes here>" new="<new layout id goes here>">
<sublayout name="FirstRendering" placeholder="APlaceholderKey" id="<sublayout 1 id goes here>" />
<sublayout name="SecondRendering" placeholder="AnotherPlaceholderKey" id="<sublayout 2 id goes here>" />
</layout>
</feature>
<feature name="SwapWholeLayoutForTemplateExample" enabled="true">
<layout template="<template id goes here>" new="<new layout id goes here>">
<sublayout name="FirstRendering" placeholder="APlaceholderKey" id="<sublayout 1 id goes here>" />
<sublayout name="SecondRendering" placeholder="AnotherPlaceholderKey" id="<sublayout 2 id goes here>" />
</layout>
</feature>
<feature name="SwapSpecificRenderingsForAlternatives" enabled="true">
<sublayouts>
<sublayout name="NewLayout1" original="<id for old rendering 1 goes here>" new="<id for new rendering 1 goes here>"
<sublayout name="NewLayout2" original="<id for old rendering 2 goes here>" new="<id for new rendering 2 goes here>"
</sublayouts>
</feature>
</featureToggles>Find the pipelines section, then the httpRequestBegin element and add the new LayoutResolver. Add it immediately after the Sitecore Layout Resolver.
<httpRequestBegin>
...
<processor type="Sitecore.Pipelines.HttpRequest.LayoutResolver, Sitecore.Kernel" />
<processor type="Aqueduct.Toggles.Sitecore.LayoutResolver, Aqueduct.Toggles" />
...
</httpRequestBegin>Still in the pipelines section, find the renderLayout element and add the new RenderLayoutProcessor. Add it immediately after the Sitecore InsertRenderings processor.
<renderLayout>
...
<processor type="Sitecore.Pipelines.RenderLayout.InsertRenderings, Sitecore.Kernel" />
<processor type="Aqueduct.Toggles.Sitecore.RenderLayoutProcessor, Aqueduct.Toggles" />
...
</renderLayout>You can also override programatically. Let's say you want to enable a feature for one user and disable it for another.
protected void Application_Start()
{
//... some initialisation code.
FeatureToggles.GetUserOverrides = () => {
Dictionary<string, bool> overrides = //Get overrides from a cookie or another source
return overrides;
};
}
