Overview

This topic describes project settings and how to update them.

Edit projects

  1. Click the project dropdown. The project menu appears:
The project menu.
The project menu.
  1. Select Project settings.

The following table describes the various project settings that you can update:

Project settingsChanges you can make
General
  • Update the project's Name.
  • Update the project's tags.
  • Delete the project.
Environments

You can also use the REST API: Update project

Flags settings

When you set or update the Flags settings for a project, the changes apply to any new flags created in the project after the settings update. No existing flags are updated.

Client-side availability

To make all of a project's flags available to client-side or mobile SDKs by default:

  1. Click the project dropdown. The project menu appears:
The project menu.
The project menu.
  1. Select Project settings.
  2. Select Flags. The Flags settings list appears.
  3. In the "Client-side availability" section, check SDKs using Mobile Key or SDKs using Client-side ID.
  4. Click Save.
Security implications of making flags available to mobile SDKs

SDKs for mobile devices use mobile SDK keys, which are readily available to mobile apps. A leaked mobile SDK key allows the holder to circumvent JavaScript's Secure Mode. This can give the holder access to the value of every flag for any context, even without knowing the SDK key that hashes the context key in Secure Mode.

To learn more, read Client-side, server-side, and edge SDKs.

Flag key conventions

If you would like to standardize how members of your organization define feature flag keys, you can specify a convention in the project settings and LaunchDarkly will enforce your convention for all new flags. This includes flags that you create or import through the LaunchDarkly user interface, as well as flags that you create using the REST API.

To enforce naming conventions for flag keys:

  1. Click the project dropdown. The project menu appears:
The project menu.
The project menu.
  1. Select Project settings.
  2. Select Flags. The Flags settings list appears.
  3. In the "Flag key conventions" section, select a Casing convention. Review the example to confirm the convention you've selected:
The Flag key conventions section, with "camelCase" selected.
The Flag key conventions section, with "camelCase" selected.
  1. (Optional) Check Add prefix and enter a Prefix that all flag keys should use.
  2. Select Save.

Flag templates

LaunchDarkly projects have groups of default settings, called "templates," for each type of flag. When you create a flag from a template, that template's default settings appear as pre-set configuration options.

You can modify default flag templates. LaunchDarkly applies those default settings to new flags of the same template type within the project. Updated default settings only apply to flags created after you modified the default settings. If you change a flag template's default settings, LaunchDarkly does not retroactively apply the new defaults to existing flags.

To modify a flag template:

  1. Click the project dropdown. The project menu appears:
The project menu.
The project menu.
  1. Select Project settings.
  2. Select Flags. The Flags settings list appears.
  3. In the "Flag templates" section, click pencil icon on the flag template you wish to modify and follow the section for that flag template:
