Evaluates the provided expression if the feature flag is enabled.

Description

Evaluates the provided expression if the feature flag is enabled.

Usage

feature_if(feature_flag, expr)

Arguments

feature_flag	flag which defines whether the provided expression should be evaluated
expr	expression to evaluate when the feature_flag is enabled

Details

The passed expression is evaluated in the frame where feature_if is called.

Value

If the passed feature_flag is enabled, than the result of the evaluation of the passed expression is returned. Otherwise there is no return value.

Examples

{
  flag <- create_bool_feature_flag(TRUE)

  feature_if(flag, {
    2 + 7
  })

Evaluates one or the other expression based on whether the feature flag is enabled.

Description

Evaluates one or the other expression based on whether the feature flag is enabled.

Usage

feature_ifelse(feature_flag, true_expr, false_expr)

Arguments

feature_flag	flag which defines which expression should be evaluated
true_expr	expression to evaluate when the feature_flag is enabled
false_expr	expression to evaluate when the feature_flag is disabled

Details

The passed expression is evaluated in the frame where feature_ifelse is called.

Value

The result of evaluating true_expr is returned if the passed feature_flag is enabled. Otherwise the result of evaluating false_expr is returned.

Examples

{
  flag <- create_bool_feature_flag(TRUE)

  feature_ifelse(
    flag,
    2 * 7,
