Migrate to v4.0.X

This guide assists developers in migrating from Flagship 3.X to Flagship 4.X.

The primary changes include:

• Visitor Creation options

• Flagship configuration

• Flagship SDK Status

For more details, see the change log

Visitor Creation options

In version 4.X, when creating a visitor, the hasConsented option is now required. In contrast, this option was optional in version 3.X. Additionally, the isNewInstance option has been replaced with shouldSaveInstance.

Below is an example of how consent is used in versions 4.X and 3.X

const fsVisitor = Flagship.newVisitor({
  hasConsented: true, // This is now mandatory
});

const fsVisitor = Flagship.newVisitor();

Flagship configuration

In version 4.X, the enableClientCacheoption of IFlagshipConfig has been replaced with reuseVisitorIds and the statusChangedCallback has been replaced with onSdkStatusChanged.

Flagship SDK Status

The FlagshipStatus enum has been superseded by FSSdkStatus.

The table below matches the FlagshipStatus enum keys from version 3.X to the corresponding FSSdkStatus keys in version 4.X.

V4.X	V3.X
SDK_NOT_INITIALIZED	NOT_READY
SDK_NOT_INITIALIZED	NOT_INITIALIZED
SDK_INITIALIZING	STARTING
SDK_INITIALIZING	POLLING
SDK_PANIC	READY_PANIC_ON
SDK_INITIALIZED	READY

GetFlag method update

In version 4.X, the approach to setting a flag's default value has been modified. The default value is no longer set using the getFlag method of visitor instance. Instead, it is now set using the getValue of flag instance.

Here's how you can retrieve the default value of a flag in versions 4.X and 3.X:

...

const flag = fsVisitor.getFlag("myFlagKey");
const flagValue = flag.getValue("default-value");

...

const flag = fsVisitor.getFlag("myFlagKey", "default-value");
const flagValue = flag.getValue();
