Running Features

Features are resolved through variations of relevant experiences. When you run a feature, the SDK finds all experiences whose variations include a fullStackFeature change linked to that feature, evaluates targeting rules, buckets the visitor, and returns the resolved feature status and variable values. See the data model for the full resolution chain.

Run a Single Feature

Returns a single feature's status and variable values for the current visitor.

val feature = ctx.runFeature("feature-key")

// Suppress the bucketing exposure (both the outbound network event and the
// in-process `bucketing` event) and limit evaluation to specific experiences:
val scopedFeature = ctx.runFeature(
    "feature-key",
    enableTracking = false,
    experienceKeys = listOf("checkout-test")
)

// Note: enableTracking and experienceKeys are Kotlin parameters on
// runFeature itself, not fields of an attributes object — and this
// surface carries no typeCasting parameter.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Required Description
featureKey string Yes The feature's unique key
attributes object No Bucketing attributes (see creating a user context for the full attributes reference), plus:
experienceKeys (string[]) -- limit evaluation to specific experiences only

Run All Features

Returns all features with their status and variable values for the current visitor.

val features = ctx.runFeatures()

// Suppress the bucketing exposure (both the outbound network event and the
// in-process `bucketing` event) and limit evaluation to specific experiences:
val scopedFeatures = ctx.runFeatures(
    enableTracking = false,
    experienceKeys = listOf("checkout-test")
)

// Note: enableTracking and experienceKeys are Kotlin parameters on
// runFeatures itself, not fields of an attributes object — and this
// surface carries no typeCasting parameter.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Required Description
attributes object No Bucketing attributes (see creating a user context for the full attributes reference), plus:
experienceKeys (string[]) -- limit evaluation to specific experiences only

Returns: An array of BucketedFeature objects.

BucketedFeature Fields

Each resolved feature is returned as a BucketedFeature with the following fields:

Field Type Description
featureId string The feature ID
featureKey string The feature key
status string / FeatureStatus "enabled" or "disabled" (PHP uses the FeatureStatus enum)
variables object / array The feature variables with their resolved values

Complete Example

End-to-end flow: initialize the SDK, create a user context, run a feature, and check its status and variables.

import com.convert.sdk.android.ConvertSDK
import com.convert.sdk.android.getString

val sdk = ConvertSDK.builder(applicationContext)
    .sdkKey("YOUR_SDK_KEY")
    .build()

sdk.onReady {
    val context = sdk.createContext("user-unique-id")
    val feature = context.runFeature("feature-key")
    if (feature?.enabled == true) {
        val ctaColor = feature.getString("ctaColor") ?: "#0066ff"
    }
}
