refactor: move docs into new structure / fix links for SEO (#2416)
## What

This (admittedly massive) PR updates the "physical" documentation
structure and fixes url inconsistencies and SEO problems reported by
marketing. The main points are:

- remove or move directories : advanced, user_guide, deploy, api
- move the files contained within to the appropriate one of topics,
how-to, tutorials, or reference
- update internal doc links and product links to the content
- create client-side redirects for all the urls that have changed.

A number of the files have been renamed in small ways to better match
their url and to make them easier to find. Additionally, the top-level
api directory has been moved to /reference/api/legacy/unleash (see the
discussion points section for more on this).

## Why

When moving our doc structure to diataxis a while back, we left the
"physical' files lying where they were, because it didn't matter much to
the new structure. However, that did introduce some inconsistencies with
where you place docs and how we organize them.

There's also the discrepancies in whether urls us underscores or hyphens
(which isn't necessarily the same as their file name), which has been
annoying me for a while, but now has also been raised by marketing as an
issue in terms of SEO.

## Discussion points

The old, hand-written API docs have been moved from /api to
/reference/api/legacy/unleash. There _is_ a /reference/api/unleash
directory, but this is being populated by the OpenAPI plugin, and mixing
those could only cause trouble. However, I'm unsure about putting
/legacy/ in the title, because the API isn't legacy, the docs are. Maybe
we could use another path? Like /old-docs/ or something? I'd appreciate
some input on this.

state /api/admin/state

In order to access the admin API endpoints you need to identify yourself. Unless you're using the none authentication method, you'll need to create an ADMIN token and add an Authorization header using the token.

Export Feature Toggles & Strategies

GET: http://unleash.host.com/api/admin/state/export

The api endpoint /api/admin/state/export will export feature-toggles and strategies as json by default.
You can customize the export with query parameters:

Parameter Default Description
format json Export format, either json or yaml
download false If the exported data should be downloaded as a file
featureToggles true Include feature-toggles in the exported data
strategies true Include strategies in the exported data

Example response:

GET /api/admin/state/export?format=yaml&featureToggles=1&strategies=1

version: 1
features:
  - name: Feature.A
    description: lorem ipsum
    enabled: false
    strategies:
      - name: default
        parameters: {}
    variants:
      - name: variant1
        weight: 50
      - name: variant2
        weight: 50
  - name: Feature.B
    description: lorem ipsum
    enabled: true
    strategies:
      - name: ActiveForUserWithId
        parameters:
          userIdList: '123,221,998'
      - name: GradualRolloutRandom
        parameters:
          percentage: '10'
    variants: []
strategies:
  - name: country
    description: Enable feature for certain countries
    parameters:
      - name: countries
        type: list
        description: List of countries
        required: true

Import Feature Toggles & Strategies

POST: http://unleash.host.com/api/admin/state/import

You can import feature-toggles and strategies by POSTing to the /api/admin/state/import endpoint.
You can either send the data as JSON in the POST-body or send a file parameter with multipart/form-data (YAML files are also accepted here).

Query Paramters

  • drop - Use this parameter if you want the database to be cleaned before import (all strategies and features will be removed).
  • keep - Use this query parameter if you want to keep all exiting feature toggle (and strategy) configurations as is (no override), and only insert missing feature toggles from the data provided.

You should be careful using the drop parameter in production environments.

Success: 202 Accepted
Error: 400 Bad Request
