fetchFlagsBufferingTime | number | 2 | Optional The delay in seconds for buffering fetch flags calls. After the SDK has fetched flags, they will be buffered for the specified delay. During this delay, any subsequent fetch flags calls will return the same flags. Note: - If a value of 0 is given, no buffering process will be used. - If visitor data has changed, the buffering will be bypassed. |
disableDeveloperUsageTracking | boolean | false | Determines whether to disable the collection of analytics data. |
fetchFlagsOnBucketingUpdated | boolean | false | Bucketing mode only If true, it'll automatically call fetchFlags when the bucketing file has updated. |
Information
- Any change to the
visitorData
prop will automatically fetch flags.- When the props
fetchNow
is set to true, the SDK will automatically fetch flags immediately after creating the visitor. see more- If the props
visitorData
is null, no visitor will be initialized until it is set- When both
initialCampaigns
andinitialFlags
are provided, the system will disregardinitialCampaigns
and only useinitialFlags
.- When the SDK is running in
Bucketing mode
(decisionMode="BUCKETING"), the polling interval will restart when any of the following props change after the first render:envId
,apiKey
,decisionMode
.
visitorData
The visitorData
prop includes the following keys
key | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
id | string | undefined | Optional Unique visitor identifier. Note: - If not set, it will be generated automatically. |
hasConsented | boolean | undefined | Required Specifies if the visitor has consented for personal data usage. When set to false, some features will be deactivated and the cache will be deactivated and cleared. |
context | object | {} | Optional The visitor context is a dataset key/value that defines the current visitor. It is sent to Flagship for targeting purposes (use-case assignment) and to enrich reporting with Context Filters. Note:Context keys must be strings, and the value types must be one of the following: number, boolean, or string. |
isAuthenticated | boolean | false | Optional Specify if the visitor is authenticated or anonymous for Experience continuity. |
Decision Mode
DECISION-API
Mode (by default)
When the SDK operates in API
mode, it uses our Decision API to manage campaign assignments and validate targeting. In this mode, each time a new Decision is needed, the SDK sends an HTTPS request to the API. This mode is enabled by default for all our SDKs.
Bucketing
Mode
In Bucketing
mode, the SDK downloads all campaign configurations in a single bucketing file. This allows the SDK to compute variation assignments on the client-side. The bucketing file is cached and only re-downloaded when campaign configurations are updated in the Flagship interface. Learn more

Cache management
The purpose of cache management is to address the following issues:
- Re-allocation in bucketing mode :
In bucketing mode, the SDK ensures that a visitor remains in the variation where they were initially allocated, even if the customer or dynamic allocation changes the traffic allocation. This is because in bucketing mode, the assignment is made on the local device, so changing campaign allocation on the platform could cause visitors to see different campaigns.
- Handle offline mode on client side :
When the cache is enabled, the SDK attempts to retrieve the latest visitor data (campaign assignments) from the cache. It also saves all failed hits and visitor exposures to resend them later.
By default, the Flagship JS SDK provides a default cache manager implementation on the client side. However, you can use your own cache manager by implementing the IVisitorCacheImplementation
and IHitCacheImplementation
interfaces through the visitorCacheImplementation and hitCacheImplementation properties of the configuration.
Visitor Cache
The visitor cache is used to store the visitor data in a database through the IVisitorCacheImplementation
interface which defines the methods that an object must implement to manager it.
interface IVisitorCacheImplementation {
cacheVisitor(visitorId: string, data: VisitorCacheDTO):Promise<void>
lookupVisitor(visitorId: string): Promise<VisitorCacheDTO>
flushVisitor(visitorId: string): Promise<void>
}
cacheVisitor
method
cacheVisitor
methodThis method is invoked when the SDK needs to store visitor information in your database.
public cacheVisitor(visitorId: string, data: object):Promise<void>
It accepts 2 arguments :
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
visitorId | string | The ID of the visitor |
Data | object | The visitor data. The object adheres to the structure of the VisitorCacheDTO type. |
lookupVisitor
method
lookupVisitor
methodThis method is invoked when the SDK needs to retrieve visitor information associated with a specific visitor ID from your database.
It should return an object of type VisitorCacheDTO
that adheres to this structure see.
public lookupVisitor(visitorId: string): Promise<object>
It accepts one argument :
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
visitorId | string | visitor ID |
flushVisitor
method
flushVisitor
methodThis method is invoked when the SDK needs to delete the visitor information associated with a specific visitor ID from your database.
public flushVisitor(visitorId: string): Promise<void>
It accepts one argument :
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
visitorId | string | The ID of the visitor |
Information
- This method is called every time the
setConsent
method or the hasConsented key of the props visitorData is set tofalse
.
VisitorCacheDTO
type VisitorCacheDTO = {
version: number;
data: {
visitorId: string;
anonymousId: string | null;
consent?: boolean;
context?: Record<string, boolean|number|string>;
assignmentsHistory?: Record<string, string>;
campaigns?: Array<{
campaignId: string;
variationGroupId: string;
variationId: string;
isReference?: boolean;
type: string;
activated?: boolean;
flags?: Record<string, unknown>;
}>;
};
};
Hit Cache
The hit cache is used to store hits in your database based on the strategy used through the IHitCacheImplementation
interface which defines the methods that an object must implement to handle it.
interface IHitCacheImplementation {
cacheHit(hits: Record<string, HitCacheDTO>):Promise<void>
lookupHits():Promise<Record<string, HitCacheDTO>>
flushHits(hitKeys: string[]): Promise<void>
flushAllHits(): Promise<void>
}
cacheHit
method
cacheHit
methodThis method is invoked to store hits based on cache the strategy used.
public cacheHit(hits: Record<string, HitCacheDTO>):Promise<void>
It accepts 1 argument :
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
hits | object | This is a key/value object where: - key is a unique ID for each hit - value is an object that follows the shape of type HitCacheDTO . |
lookupHits
method
lookupHits
methodThis method is invoked to load all hits from your database and attempt to send them in the background.
It should return an object where the key is a unique ID for each hit, and the value is an object of type HitCacheDTO
that adheres to this structure see.
public lookupHits():Promise<Record<string, HitCacheDTO>>
Information
Hits
older than 4H will be ignored during the re-sending process.
flushHits
function
flushHits
functionThis method is invoked to delete all hits that match the unique hit IDs from your database.
NOTE: It is called every time setConsent
is set to false, erasing all of the visitor's hits from the database.
public flushHits(hitKeys: string[]): Promise<void>
It accepts one argument :
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
hitKeys | Array | Unique ID of hits |
- This method is called every time the
setConsent
method or the hasConsented key of the props visitorData is set tofalse
.
flushAllHits
function
flushAllHits
functionThis method is invoked to delete all hits from your database without exception.
public flushAllHits(): Promise<void>
HitCacheDTO
type HitCacheLookupDTO = {
version: number;
data: {
visitorId: string;
anonymousId: string | null;
type: HitType | "ACTIVATE";
time: number;
content?: Record<string, unknown>;
};
};
