ABfy: A Lightweight A/B Testing Library for React

ABfy is a simple yet powerful A/B testing library designed to make experimentation easy within your React applications. It provides intuitive components and utilities to help you define, track, and analyze A/B tests to optimize your user experience and drive better results.

Features

• Minimalistic API: Easily define experiments and variants using just two components: <Experiment> and <Variant>.
• Session-Based Consistency: Ensures users see the same variant throughout their session, even if they refresh the page.
• Automatic Experiment Detection: The <KeyAction> component automatically associates user interactions with the correct experiment.
• Customizable Tracking: Integrate with your backend or data storage solution to collect experiment data for analysis.
• Lightweight: No external dependencies (except for react). A simple, internal UUID-like generation is used for unique identifiers.

Installation

npm install abfy
# or
yarn add abfy

Usage

import { ABfyProvider, Experiment, Variant, KeyAction } from "abfy";

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <ABfyProvider backendUrl="https://your-backend-endpoint">
      <Experiment id="my-experiment">
        <Variant id="control">
          <button>Original Button</button>
        </Variant>
        <Variant id="variation">
          <button>New Button</button>
        </Variant>
      </Experiment>

      {/* Track user interactions within the experiment */}
      <KeyAction onClick={() => /* ... */}>
        Track this click!
      </KeyAction>
    </ABfyProvider>
  );
}

Components

• <ABfyProvider>: Wraps your application and provides configuration (like the backend URL).
• <Experiment>: Defines an A/B test with a unique ID.
• <Variant>: Represents a different version (variant) of your test.
• <KeyAction>: Captures user interactions within an experiment for tracking.

Advanced Usage

• Custom Probabilities: Assign custom probabilities to each variant to control traffic allocation.
• More Event Tracking: Attach additional event handlers (e.g., onSubmit, onChange) to <KeyAction> to track different types of interactions.
