Summary
This chapter has covered the practical ways in which you can use LaunchDarkly, both through the tool itself and how to implement the LaunchDarkly client within an application, which resulted in you setting up and configuring your first feature flag.
Initially, we looked at creating a LaunchDarkly account and how to set up the LD client through .NET code examples. This has given you the skills to do this within any framework and language, and you now have some appreciation for how simple it is to get started with LaunchDarkly.
Next, we explored the topics of projects and environments to make sure you understood these concepts and their purpose beforehand while setting up your first flag. We looked at how to do this within LaunchDarkly and from this, it should be clear to see how easy it is to create flags. With the flag set up, we added it to our example application, where we were able to return true
or false
to the application, depending on the state of the flag.
