Abstract

A system for determining a toggle value includes an input interface and a processor. The input interface is to receive a request for the toggle value associated with a toggle. The processor is to determine an indicated toggle value associated with the toggle; determine the toggle value associated with the toggle based at least in part on the indicated toggle value and a set of dependencies; and provide the toggle value associated with the toggle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for determining a toggle value, comprising:
an input interface to:
receive a request for the toggle value associated with a toggle; and

a processor to:
determine an indicated toggle value associated with the toggle;
determine the toggle value associated with the toggle based at least in part on the indicated toggle value and a set of dependencies; and
provide the toggle value associated with the toggle.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further to:
in the event that the indicated toggle value associated with the toggle is off, determine that the toggle value associated with the toggle is off.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further to determine a dependency value associated with the set of dependencies.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the dependency value is on in the event that a toggle value associated with each dependency of the set of dependencies is on and a toggle value associated with all descendent dependencies from the set of dependencies is on.

5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the toggle value is determined to be on in the event that the indicated value associated with the toggle is determined to be on and the dependency value associated with the set of dependencies is determined to be on.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further to:
in the event that an override value associated with the toggle is on, determine the toggle value associated with the toggle is off.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further to:
receive an indication to set the toggle value associated with the toggle to a value; and
store the value as the indicated toggle value associated with the toggle.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further to:
determine whether an evaluated toggle value associated with the toggle has changed; and
in the event it is determined that the evaluated toggle value associated with the toggle has changed:
provide an indication to any listener objects associated with the toggle of a new evaluated toggle value.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further to:
determine whether an evaluated toggle value associated with a dependent toggle has changed; and
in the event it is determined that the evaluated toggle value associated with the dependent toggle has changed:
provide an indication to any listener objects associated with the dependent toggle of a new evaluated toggle value.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further to create a new toggle.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the toggle is associated with a tenant of a set of tenants.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the request for the toggle value is associated with a tenant of a set of tenants.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the toggle is associated with a privacy setting.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the toggle is associated with a set of listeners.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further to:
receive an indication to override the toggle; and
store the override associated with the toggle.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further to:
receive an indication to cancel an override for the toggle; and
cancel the override associated with the toggle.

17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further to:
receive an indication that a toggle object instance is an indication of a leader object instance associated with the toggle; and
store the indication of the leader object instance associated with the toggle.

18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further to determine the set of dependencies associated with the toggle.

19. A method for determining a toggle value, comprising:
receiving a request for the toggle value associated with a toggle;
determining, using a processor, an indicated toggle value associated with the toggle;
determining the toggle value associated with the toggle based at least in part on the indicated toggle value and a set of dependencies; and
providing the toggle value associated with the toggle.

20. A computer program product for determining a toggle value, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform steps comprising:
receiving a request for the toggle value associated with a toggle;
determining an indicated toggle value associated with the toggle;
determining the toggle value associated with the toggle based at least in part on the indicated toggle value and a set of dependencies; and
providing the toggle value associated with the toggle.
