Remote Parameter Configuration for Feature Toggle
Let’s consider an example where we want to enable/disable a feature in our app using Firebase Remote Config:
Step 1: Set Default Configuration
Set the default configuration for the feature toggle:
remoteConfig.defaultConfig = {
feature_enabled: false
};
Step 2: Fetch and Activate Remote Configurations
async function fetchConfig() {
try {
await remoteConfig.fetchAndActivate();
console.log("Remote config fetched successfully!");
const isFeatureEnabled = remoteConfig.getBoolean('feature_enabled');
if (isFeatureEnabled) {
// Enable feature
} else {
// Disable feature
}
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error fetching remote config:", error);
}
}
Output and Testing
After setting up Firebase Remote Config and applying configurations, you’ll observe the following outcomes:
- Console Logs: You’ll see logs indicating the successful fetching of remote configurations or any errors encountered.
- UI Updates: Your app’s UI will reflect the changes made through remote configurations. For example, if you change the welcome message or enable/disable a feature, you’ll see those changes reflected in the app.
