## 📦 Installation

### Adding the package dependency
### Xcode Dependencies

If you manage dependencies through Xcode go to "Add package" and enter `[email protected]:spotify/openfeature-swift-sdk.git`.
You have two options, both start from File > Add Packages... in the code menu.

First, ensure you have your GitHub account added as an option (+ > Add Source Control Account...). You will need to create a [Personal Access Token](https://github.com/settings/tokens) with the permissions defined in the Xcode interface.

1. Add as a remote repository
* Search for `[email protected]:spotify/openfeature-swift-sdk.git` and click "Add Package"
2. Clone the repository locally
* Clone locally using your preferred method
* Use the "Add Local..." button to select the local folder

**Note:** Option 2 is only recommended if you are making changes to the client SDK.

### Swift Package Manager

## 🚀 Usage

```swift
import OpenFeature

// Configure your custom `FeatureProvider` and pass it to OpenFeatureAPI
await OpenFeatureAPI.shared.setProvider(provider: customProvider)
let customProvider = MyCustomProvider()
OpenFeatureAPI.shared.setProvider(provider: customProvider)

// Configure your evaluation context and pass it to OpenFeatureAPI
let ctx = MutableContext(
targetingKey: userId,
structure: MutableStructure(attributes: ["product": Value.string(productId)]))
await OpenFeatureAPI.shared.setEvaluationContext(evaluationContext: ctx)
OpenFeatureAPI.shared.setEvaluationContext(evaluationContext: ctx)

// Get client from OpenFeatureAPI and evaluate your flags
let client = OpenFeatureAPI.shared.getClient()
let flagValue = client.getBooleanValue(key: "boolFlag", defaultValue: false)
```

Setting a new provider or setting a new evaluation context are asynchronous operations. The provider might execute I/O operations as part of these method calls (e.g. fetching flag evaluations from the backend and store them in a local cache). It's advised to not interact with the OpenFeature client until the `setProvider()` or `setEvaluationContext()` functions have returned successfully.
Setting a new provider or setting a new evaluation context are synchronous operations. The provider might execute I/O operations as part of these method calls (e.g. fetching flag evaluations from the backend and store them in a local cache). It's advised to not interact with the OpenFeature client until the relevant event has been emitted (see events below).

Please refer to our [documentation on static-context APIs](https://github.com/open-feature/spec/pull/171) for further information on how these APIs are structured for the use-case of mobile clients.

Events allow you to react to state changes in the provider or underlying flag management system, such as flag definition changes, provider readiness, or error conditions.
Initialization events (`PROVIDER_READY` on success, `PROVIDER_ERROR` on failure) are emitted for every provider.
Some providers support additional events, such as `PROVIDER_CONFIGURATION_CHANGED`.
Please refer to the documentation of the provider you're using to see what events are supported.
Please refer to the documentation of the provider you're using to see what events are supported and when they are emitted.

To register a handler for API level provider events, use the `OpenFeatureAPI` `addHandler(observer:selector:event:)` function. Event handlers can also be removed using the equivalent `removeHandler` function. `Client`s also provide add and remove functions for listening to that specific client. A `ProviderEvent` enum is defined to ease subscription.

Events can contain extra information in the `userInfo` dictionary of the notification. All events will contain a reference to the provider that emitted the event (under the `providerEventDetailsKeyProvider` key). Error events will also provide a reference to the underlying error (under the `providerEventDetailsKeyError` key). Finally, client specific events will contain a reference to the client (under the `providerEventDetailsKeyClient` key)
