Implementing Feature Toggles for FE Logic Migration: Enhancing Control and Flexibility in VA Online Scheduling

As part of our ongoing efforts to refine and improve the functionality of VA Online Scheduling (VAOS), we are introducing additional feature toggles to provide more granular control over the release of FE logic migration tickets. This enhancement is a direct response to the discussion outlined in issue #103404 on the VA GitHub repository. By incorporating these feature toggles, we aim to increase flexibility and reduce the complexity associated with managing FE logic migration tickets.

To ensure the successful implementation of these feature toggles, the following requirements must be met:

1. va_online_scheduling_fe_source_of_truth

Description: This toggle controls the migration of upcoming/past/pending appointments.
Update: The existing description for this toggle should be updated to reflect its new purpose.

2. va_online_scheduling_fe_source_of_truth_va

Description: This toggle controls the migration to use VA and VA request types from the API response.
Purpose: By enabling this toggle, users will be able to leverage VA and VA request types from the API response, enhancing the overall user experience.

3. va_online_scheduling_fe_source_of_truth_cc

Description: This toggle controls the migration to use CC and CC request types from the API response.
Purpose: By enabling this toggle, users will be able to leverage CC and CC request types from the API response, further improving the user experience.

4. va_online_scheduling_fe_source_of_truth_modality

Description: This toggle controls the migration to use non-telehealth modalities from the API response (in person, phone, claims exam).
Purpose: By enabling this toggle, users will be able to leverage non-telehealth modalities from the API response, expanding the range of available options.

5. va_online_scheduling_fe_source_of_truth_modality_telehealth

Description: This toggle controls the migration to use telehealth modalities from the API response (Video at VA, Video at ATLAS, Video at Home).
Purpose: By enabling this toggle, users will be able to leverage telehealth modalities from the API response, providing a convenient and accessible option for users.

As this implementation does not involve any design assets, we can proceed directly to the development phase.

To ensure the successful implementation of these feature toggles, the following acceptance criteria must be met:

Acceptance Criteria:

The toggles are created for VAOS

Definition of Done:

All acceptance criteria are met
Documentation is updated

By implementing these feature toggles, we will be able to provide more control and flexibility in the release of FE logic migration tickets, ultimately enhancing the user experience and improving the overall functionality of VA Online Scheduling.

Benefits of Implementing Feature Toggles

The implementation of feature toggles offers several benefits, including:

Increased control: Feature toggles provide a more granular level of control over the release of FE logic migration tickets, allowing developers to manage and test individual features more effectively.
Improved flexibility: By enabling or disabling specific feature toggles, developers can quickly adapt to changing requirements and user needs, reducing the complexity associated with managing FE logic migration tickets.
Enhanced user experience: The implementation of feature toggles enables developers to provide a more tailored and user-friendly experience, as users will be able to access and utilize specific features and functionality more easily.

The implementation of feature toggles for FE logic migration is a crucial step in enhancing the control and flexibility of VA Online Scheduling. By incorporating these feature toggles, we will be able to provide a more refined and user-friendly experience, ultimately improving the overall functionality and usability of VA Online Scheduling.
VA Online Scheduling Feature Toggles: Frequently Asked Questions

As we continue to refine and improve the functionality of VA Online Scheduling (VAOS), we are introducing additional feature toggles to provide more granular control over the release of FE logic migration tickets. In this article, we will address some of the most frequently asked questions related to the implementation of these feature toggles.

Q: What are feature toggles, and how do they work?

A: Feature toggles are a way to control the release of specific features or functionality within an application. They allow developers to enable or disable individual features, making it easier to manage and test different components of the application. In the case of VAOS, feature toggles will be used to control the release of FE logic migration tickets, providing more flexibility and control over the deployment process.

Q: Why are feature toggles necessary for VAOS?

A: Feature toggles are necessary for VAOS because they provide a more granular level of control over the release of FE logic migration tickets. This allows developers to manage and test individual features more effectively, reducing the complexity associated with managing FE logic migration tickets. Additionally, feature toggles enable developers to provide a more tailored and user-friendly experience, as users will be able to access and utilize specific features and functionality more easily.

Q: What are the benefits of implementing feature toggles in VAOS?

A: The benefits of implementing feature toggles in VAOS include:

Increased control: Feature toggles provide a more granular level of control over the release of FE logic migration tickets, allowing developers to manage and test individual features more effectively.
Improved flexibility: By enabling or disabling specific feature toggles, developers can quickly adapt to changing requirements and user needs, reducing the complexity associated with managing FE logic migration tickets.
Enhanced user experience: The implementation of feature toggles enables developers to provide a more tailored and user-friendly experience, as users will be able to access and utilize specific features and functionality more easily.

Q: How will feature toggles be used in VAOS?

A: Feature toggles will be used in VAOS to control the release of FE logic migration tickets. This will involve creating and managing individual feature toggles for specific features or functionality, allowing developers to enable or disable them as needed.

Q: What are the different types of feature toggles that will be used in VAOS?

A: The different types of feature toggles that will be used in VAOS include:

va_online_scheduling_fe_source_of_truth: This toggle controls the migration of upcoming/past/pending appointments.
va_online_scheduling_fe_source_of_truth_va: This toggle controls the migration to use VA and VA request types from the API response.
va_online_scheduling_fe_source_of_truth_cc: This toggle controls the migration to use CC and CC request types from the API response.
va_online_scheduling_fe_source_of_truth_modality: This toggle controls the migration to use non-telehealth modalities from the API response (in person, phone, claims exam).
va_online_scheduling_fe_source_of_truth_modality_telehealth: This toggle controls the migration to use telehealth modalities from the API response (Video at VA, Video at ATLAS, Video at Home).

Q: How will feature toggles be managed and maintained in VAOS?

A: Feature toggles will be managed and maintained in VAOS through a combination of automated tools and manual processes. This will involve creating and managing individual feature toggles, as well as monitoring and updating them as needed to ensure that they are functioning correctly.

The implementation of feature toggles in VAOS is an important step in enhancing the control and flexibility of the application.
