React applications require dynamic, responsive user experiences. Feature flags provide the perfect solution for controlling features, conducting A/B tests, and rolling out updates safely in React apps. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about implementing feature flags in React applications.

Why React Developers Need Feature Flags

React's component-based architecture makes it ideal for feature flag implementation. You can conditionally render components, modify props, or change application behavior without touching your deployment pipeline.

import { useFeatureFlag } from "@flagpole/react";

function Dashboard() {
const showNewChart = useFeatureFlag("enhanced-analytics");
const enableDarkMode = useFeatureFlag("dark-mode-ui");

return (
<div className={enableDarkMode ? "dark-theme" : "light-theme"}>
<h1>Analytics Dashboard</h1>
{showNewChart ? <NewChartComponent /> : <LegacyChart />}
</div>
);
}
