To implement feature flags in Laravel, install Pennant via composer, define features using Feature::define, evaluate active states across user scopes, and conditionally render UI with the @feature blade directive for safe progressive rollouts.

Yes, the @feature blade directive supports A/B testing by conditionally rendering UI components based on active feature states, allowing you to display different views to different user scopes and minimize risk during deployment.

Scope-based activation evaluates feature flags per user or role within a PHP environment, allowing features to be conditionally enabled for specific scopes rather than globally, ensuring tailored UX and controlled rollouts.

You check if a Pennant feature flag is active by defining it with a closure that accepts a user parameter, returning true or false based on user attributes like isAdmin, which evaluates the active state for that specific scope.

Yes, you need to install Laravel Pennant separately using composer require laravel/pennant, as it is a dedicated package for managing feature toggles, conditional rendering, and A/B testing within your Laravel application.

Use Pennant feature flags instead of environment variables when you need scope-based activation per user or role, runtime toggling, and A/B testing capabilities, rather than simple global on/off application configuration.
