Overview

Feature flags are a powerful tool for controlling the availability of features on your site. By enabling or disabling flags, you can control what is active on your site without needing to deploy new code.

Features are defined in the switcheroo.json file located in the root of your project.
Each feature has:

  • Unique ID: An identifier for the feature.
  • Title: A human-readable name.
  • Description: Explains the feature’s purpose.
  • Status: Indicates whether the feature is active, experimental, deprecated, etc.
  • Link: An optional link to further information.

You can toggle each feature within the Switcheroo Settings in the WP Admin (Settings -> Switcheroo).
