💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Web applications often need controlled feature rollouts and A/B experiments, but implementing feature flags from scratch is error-prone and hard to maintain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Boolean flags: Enable or disable features per user or segment.
  • Multivariate flags: Run experiments with multiple variants.
  • Payloads: Retrieve extra data from feature flags to customize UI.
  • Use Case: Gate a new UI feature behind a flag in a React app and gradually roll it out.

Quick Start

Install the PostHog JavaScript SDK in your web app and start gating features using isFeatureEnabled or getFeatureFlag.
