# Quarantine
Quarantine is a tiny OTP application for feature toggles.
Currently it supports two strategies:
* `whitelist` list of ids that can access some feature
* `percentage` compute a score from the given `id` check with `score <= percentage`. Note that the combination of `feature` name and `id` produce a deterministic score
## Setup
Add quarantine to your application deps
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:quarantine, "~> 0.1.0"}
]
end
```
You can setup flags using config environment or provide a [Quarantine.Driver](lib/quarantine/driver.ex) to [fetch configuration from an external source](https://github.com/leorog/quarantine/tree/master#refresh-config-without-re-deploying-your-application)
When hardcoded config is good enough you can provide it as below
```elixir
config :quarantine,
some_percentage_flag: 0.5,
some_whitelist_flag: [1, 2, 3]
other_whitelist_flag: ["08362804-bdc0-11e8-9407-24750000045e", "9fbc6c6e-f2dd-4f9d-8944-b81dd5a25fed"]
```
## Usage
Simply call `enabled?/2` where you want to split the control flow
```elixir
Quarantine.enabled?(:some_percentage_flag, 1)
=> false
Quarantine.enabled?(:some_percentage_flag, 2)
=> true
Quarantine.enabled?(:some_whitelist_flag, 1)
=> true
Quarantine.enabled?(:some_whitelist_flag, 9)
=> false
```
When using `percentage` you can check current ids distribution if needed with `scores/2`
```elixir
Quarantine.scores(:some_percentage_flag, [1, 2, 3])
=> [{1, 0.9967498283360037},
{2, 0.18811322194247349},
{3, 0.30522621499961855}]
```
## Refresh config without re-deploying your application
To do that you should provide an implementation of [Quarantine.Driver](lib/quarantine/driver.ex) that fetch flags configuration from a desired source like ets, s3, redis, consul, zookeeper, database or filesystem and add it to the config
Redis Driver example:
```elixir
defmodule RedisDriver do
@behaviour Quarantine.Driver
def get_flags() do
Redix.command!(:my_redix, ["GET", "my_flags"])
end
end
```
S3 Driver example:
```elixir
defmodule S3Driver do
@behaviour Quarantine.Driver
def get_flags() do
"bucket"
|> ExAws.S3.get_object("path")
|> ExAws.request!()
end
end
```
Note: get_flags must return a map which key is the flag and value is the config.
Then add it to `:quarantine` configuration:
```elixir
config :quarantine,
driver: RedisDriver,
pool_interval: 60_000 # in ms
```
When Quarantine starts it will run the `driver` at `pool_interval` to fetch flags updates
