Driver Feature Flag Guard Widget
Component Detail
Description
Wrapper widget that conditionally renders driver-related UI elements based on the organization-level feature flag. Ensures driver fee fields and declaration workflow are invisible to organizations that have not opted in.

Summaries
The Driver Feature Flag Guard ensures that driver fee fields and confidentiality declaration workflows are only visible to organizations that have explicitly opted into the driver management capability. This controlled gating eliminates accidental exposure of premium or in-progress features to non-participating organizations, reduces support burden by preventing user confusion, and enables the business to roll out driver management incrementally across its customer base without requiring separate application builds or releases. It directly supports a scalable product expansion strategy, allowing new organizations to be onboarded into the driver feature with a configuration change rather than a deployment, protecting both user experience quality and revenue segmentation.
The Driver Feature Flag Guard is a low-complexity wrapper widget with a single upstream dependency on the org-feature-flag-service. Despite its simplicity, it is a foundational prerequisite for any multi-org QA testing of driver UI components — all driver-related screens must be wrapped by this guard before they can be validated across different organization configurations. Testing requires verification of correct child rendering when the flag is enabled and complete UI suppression when disabled, including edge cases where org configuration is absent or malformed. No significant timeline risk on its own, but it must be prioritized early in the sprint to unblock QA of all dependent driver UI components.
Coordinate with the org-feature-flag-service team to confirm API contract before development begins.
The Driver Feature Flag Guard is a lightweight conditional rendering widget deployed exclusively in the mobile frontend execution context. It exposes two interfaces: buildConditionalChild(orgConfig, child) renders or fully suppresses its child widget tree based on the resolved org configuration, and isDriverFeatureEnabled(orgId) queries the org-feature-flag-service for the current organization's driver feature status. When the flag is disabled, the widget returns an empty widget tree with zero visual footprint — no placeholder, no loading state. It depends solely on org-feature-flag-service, making it straightforward to unit test via mock service injection with both enabled and disabled flag states.
This component should wrap all driver-specific UI at the highest practical point in the widget tree to centralize feature gating logic and prevent scattered conditional checks throughout driver screens.
