Object model

The following shows the object model for the OptimizelyDecision object.

class Decision {
  String variationKey;
  String flagKey;
  String ruleKey;
  bool enabled;
  Map<String, dynamic> userContext;
  Map<String, dynamic> variables;
  List<String> reasons;
}

The following table describes the fields of the OptimizelyDecision object:

Field	Type	Description
enabled	bool	Whether the flag is enabled or not. Optimizely Feature Experimentation never returns null for this field; it returns false when it fails to make a decision due to an error.
variables	Map<String, dynamic>	Key-value pairs of all the flag variables. When there are no variables defined for the flag or the SDK cannot get variables, this field returns an empty map. When SDK fails to get variables for a decision, the Reasons field includes the error messages regardless of the Include Reasons option.
variation key	String (nullable)	When SDK fails to make a decision, this field returns null, and the Reasons field includes the log messages if the Include Reasons option is set. In legacy projects, there is an edge case: 1. no messages in the Reasons field and 2. null value in the Variation Key field means that a variation cannot be found (for example, because the flag is part of a rollout).
rule key	String (nullable)	The key of the flag rule that the user bucketed into for this decision. When a valid rule key is unavailable, returns a copy of the experiment key. Returns null if neither a valid rule key nor an experiment key is found.
flag key	String	The key of the flag for which the decision was made.
userContext	Map<String, dynamic>	The user associated with the call to the Decide method.
reasons	Array	An array of relevant error and log messages in chronological order. Optimizely Feature Experimentation returns messages in this field: when errors are detected while making decisions. when reasons for decisions are enabled in the decide options an empty array when there are no messages. See the following section for more information.

Reasons

The returned decision object includes error and log messages in the Reasons field.

Error reasons

For consistency with other decision results, Optimizely Feature Experimentation returns a decision with null fields instead of throwing errors or exceptions.

They system includes critical errors in the Reasons field of the returned decision object, regardless of the include reasons option you set on the Decide method.

Error	Possible reasons
null `variationKey`	- Optimizely Feature Experimentation SDK not configured properly yet - User context is not valid - No flag was found for key
empty `variables`	- Invalid variables for OptimizelyJSON - Variable value for key is invalid or wrong type

Log reasons

Optimizely Feature Experimentation collects log messages in the Reasons field of the returned OptimizelyDecision object in the order in which they are logged.

The system only includes the following types of log messages in the Reasons field if you set the include reasons option on the Decide method:

Log messages related to bucketing users based on audiences or attributes.
Log messages related to bucketing users based on traffic percentages.
