Config

The config feature meant to be our go-to solution for feature flag configuration in our app productions.

Over time we've seen many different ways of storing and controlling state a la "feature flags" in NStack. Some have attempted to do it via Localization or via a custom Response.

This is an attempt at a proper implementation.

• A feature is a name, type and value. The type can be Integer, String or Boolean. That should fit most use cases.
• These can be enabled or disabled, which just means it's not sent to the clients via App Open.
• An API is exposed to enable client SDK's to generate code similar to Translation classes for parsing feature flags.

Implementation details:

• Name is automatically converted from News delay to NEWS_DELAY.
