==============
Using WaffleJS
==============
Waffle supports using :ref:`flags <types-flag>`, :ref:`switches
<types-switch>`, and :ref:`samples <types-sample>` in JavaScript
("WaffleJS") either via inline script or an external script.
.. warning::
Unlike samples when used in Python, samples in WaffleJS **are only
calculated once** and so are **consistent**.
The WaffleJS ``waffle`` object
==============================
WaffleJS exposes a global ``waffle`` object that gives access to flags,
switches, and samples.
Methods
-------
These methods can be used exactly like their Python equivalents:
- ``waffle.flag_is_active(flag_name)``
- ``waffle.switch_is_active(switch_name)``
- ``waffle.sample_is_active(sample_name)``
Members
-------
WaffleJS also directly exposes dictionaries of each type, where keys are
the names and values are ``true`` or ``false``:
- ``waffle.FLAGS``
- ``waffle.SWITCHES``
- ``waffle.SAMPLES``
Installing WaffleJS
===================
As an external script
---------------------
Using the ``wafflejs`` view requires adding Waffle to your URL
configuration. For example, in your ``ROOT_URLCONF``::
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^', include('waffle.urls')),
)
This adds a route called ``wafflejs``, which you can use with the
``url`` template tag:
.. code-blocK:: django
<script src="{% url 'wafflejs' %}"></script>
As an inline script
-------------------
To avoid an extra request, you can also use the ``wafflejs`` template
tag to include WaffleJS as an inline script:
.. code-block:: django
{% load waffle_tags %}
<script>
{% wafflejs %}
</script>
