Implementing the Split Vanilla JS SDK inside a Vue app Part 1

Split is a powerful tool that allows developers to implement feature flagging and A/B testing in their applications. In this article, we will explore how to integrate the Split Vanilla JS SDK into a Vue app.

Step 1: Installing the SDK

The first step is to install the Split Vanilla JS SDK. You can do this by including the following script tag in your HTML file:


<script src="https://cdn.split.io/sdk/split-10.9.2.js"></script>


Step 2: Initializing the SDK

Once the SDK is installed, we need to initialize it with our API key. This can be done by adding the following code to your Vue component:


const splitConfig = {
core: {
authorizationKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
}
}

const factory = SplitFactory(splitConfig);
const client = factory.client();


Step 3: Using feature flags

Now that the SDK is initialized, we can start using feature flags in our Vue app. Split allows us to check if a feature is enabled for a specific user like this:


const featureEnabled = client.getTreatment('YOUR_FEATURE_KEY');


We can then use the value of featureEnabled to conditionally render different components or logic in our Vue app.

This concludes Part 1 of our guide on implementing the Split Vanilla JS SDK inside a Vue app. In Part 2, we will explore more advanced features and best practices for using Split in a Vue app.
