Generate a complete, dependency-free feature flag implementation for your app without getting stuck on the boilerplate.

Steps

  1. Open ChatGPT or Claude and start a new chat.
  2. Copy the prompt template below and paste it into the chat.
  3. Replace {language} with your programming language (e.g., JavaScript, Python).
  4. Replace {framework} with your web framework (e.g., Express, FastAPI, React).
  5. Replace {flag_name} with the name of the feature you want to toggle (e.g., new_checkout_ui).
  6. Press Enter and wait for the AI to generate the code.
  7. Copy the generated code into your project and follow the AI's instructions to set the environment variable and test the flag.

Prompts to Use

You are a senior software engineer. Write a simple, dependency-free feature flag implementation for a {language} application using the {framework} framework. The feature flag should be controlled by an environment variable named FEATURE_FLAG_{flag_name}. Provide the core logic to check the flag, an example route or component using the flag, and instructions on how to test it. Output the code in a single markdown block with inline comments explaining the flag logic.
