## About the changes Refactor the main nav, with the following goals: * Communicate the value of each section vs the format (ex: “Understanding Unleash” vs “Topic Guides”) * Make space for the Feature Flag tutorials section that we’re starting to build * Scope updates to navigation and pages that need updates based on new URLs & organization * Update URLs to follow the new hierarchy without breaking links (adding redirects & editing internal links between pages as needed) ### Important files sidebar.js docusaurus.config.js ## Discussion points * Redirects can't be tested out of prod, which is a bummer :/ * Some URLs have been preserved untouched while we monitor for potential negative SEO impact of client-side redirects * It's a large PR (sorry). Nav changes and file movements impacted lots of files. --------- Co-authored-by: Thomas Heartman <thomas@getunleash.ai>

title: Quick Start

There are lots of options to get started with Unleash. If you're comfortable with Docker, this is the fastest way to get up and running. If that's not you, here are [some additional ways to try Unleash](#more-unleash)
|
|
|
|
## 1. Set up Unleash with Docker {#setup-unleash-docker}
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to run unleash locally is using git and [docker](https://www.docker.com/).
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone git@github.com:Unleash/unleash.git
|
|
cd unleash
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 2. Log in to the Admin UI
|
|
|
|
Then point your browser to localhost:4242 and log in using:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
username: admin
|
|
password: unleash4all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 3. Create your first flag {#create-a-flag}
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the Feature toggles list
|
|
2. Click 'New feature toggle'
|
|
3. Give it a unique name, and click 'Create feature toggle'
|
|
|
|
For a detailed guide on how to create a flag through the UI, [you can follow this guide](/how-to/how-to-create-feature-toggles.md).
|
|
|
|
## 4a. Connect a client-side SDK {#connect-a-client-side-sdk}
|
|
|
|
To try Unleash with a client-side technology, create a [front-end token](/reference/api-tokens-and-client-keys.mdx#front-end-tokens) and use `<your-unleash-instance>/api/frontend` as the API URL.
|
|
|
|
Now you can open your application code and connect through one of the [client-side SDKs](/reference/sdks#client-side-sdks).
|
|
|
|
The following example shows you how you could use the [JavaScript SDK](/generated/sdks/client-side/javascript-browser.md) to connect to the Unleash demo frontend API:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import { UnleashClient } from 'unleash-proxy-client';
|
|
|
|
const unleash = new UnleashClient({
|
|
url: 'https://<your-unleash-instance>/api/frontend',
|
|
clientKey: '<your-token>',
|
|
appName: '<your-app-name>',
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
unleash.on('synchronized', () => {
|
|
// Unleash is ready to serve updated feature flags.
|
|
|
|
// Check a feature flag
|
|
if (unleash.isEnabled('some-toggle')) {
|
|
// do cool new things when the flag is enabled
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 4b. Connect a backend SDK {#connect-a-backend-sdk}
|
|
|
|
To try Unleash with a server-side technology, create a [client token](/reference/api-tokens-and-client-keys#client-tokens) and use `<your-unleash-instance>/api` as the API URL.
|
|
|
|
Now you can open up your application code and create a connection to Unleash using one of our [SDKs](/reference/sdks/index.md). Here's an example using the [NodeJS SDK](/reference/sdks/node) to connect to the Unleash demo instance:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const { initialize } = require('unleash-client');
|
|
const unleash = initialize({
|
|
url: 'https://<your-unleash-instance>/api/',
|
|
appName: '<your-app-name>',
|
|
customHeaders: {
|
|
Authorization: '<your-token>',
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
unleash.on('synchronized', () => {
|
|
// Unleash is ready to serve updated feature flags.
|
|
|
|
if(unleash.isEnabled('some-toggle')){
|
|
// do cool new things when the flag is enabled
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Additional Ways to Try Unleash {#more-unleash}
|
|
|
|
### Unleash Demo Instance {#unleash-demo-instance}
|
|
|
|
For testing purposes we have set up a demo instance that you can use in order to test out different use-cases before setting up your own instance. You can find the demo instance here: https://app.unleash-hosted.com/demo/
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This is a demo instance set up with the Enterprise version. [More information on our different versions](https://www.getunleash.io/pricing).
|
|
|
|
If you don't have your own Unleash instance set up, you can use the Unleash demo instance. In that case, the details are:
|
|
|
|
**Client Side**
|
|
- API URL: `https://app.unleash-hosted.com/demo/api/frontend`
|
|
- Frontend key: `demo-app:default.bf8d2a449a025d1715a28f218dd66a40ef4dcc97b661398f7e05ba67`
|
|
|
|
**Server Side**
|
|
- API URL: `https://app.unleash-hosted.com/demo/api`
|
|
- Client key: `56907a2fa53c1d16101d509a10b78e36190b0f918d9f122d`
|
|
|
|
Curl command to test credentials and retrieve feature toggles:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl https://app.unleash-hosted.com/demo/api/client/features \
|
|
-H "Authorization: 56907a2fa53c1d16101d509a10b78e36190b0f918d9f122d";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Unleash Pro & Enterprise Instances {#unleash-pro-and-enterprise-instances}
|
|
|
|
You can run Unleash in the cloud by using our hosted offerings. Please see the [plans page](https://www.getunleash.io/pricing) to learn more.
