// Create a Flag
$created = $flagManager->create($requestData);

// Delete a Flag
$deleted = $flagManager->delete($requestData);

// Update a Flag
$updated = $flagManager->update($requestData);

// Get all Flags
$flags = $flagManager->all();

Retrieving a flag

// Parameters:
// $flagName: String = Name of the flag.
// (Optional) $encrypted: bool = If the inputted $flagName is encrypted, set this to true, otherwise, false.
// (Optional) $default: String = Default value if flag is empty.
// (Option) $driver: String = Driver (cookie or session).
\BTFlags\Flags::get($flagName, [$encrypted, $default, $driver]);

Example Usage:

// Getting an encrypted flag
// Example Flag:
// Name:
//    'mode' => 'edom'
// Accepted Values:
//    'live' => 'prod'
//    'test' => 'dev'
\BTFlags\Flags::get('edom', true);

// Getting a non-encrypted flag
\BTFlags\Flags::get('source');

Tip:

// utility_helper.php
if (!function_exists('flag')){
  function flag($flag, $default = null, $encrypted = false){
    return \BTFlags\Flags::get($flag, $encrypted, $default);
  }
}

// Use anywhere:
flag('mode');
flag('source');
flag('pmt', 'rec');
