growthbook.isOn()

never returns true on the Javascript sdk. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I’m just getting started with GrowthBook on a side project using plain javascript. Copied the installation and quick usage starter code from the docs into my html page. I see the flag enabled on https://cdn.growthbook.io/api/features/prod_cbAOvmDygOHhAGOsaKdMhs7lI3wfI9bNAIqIeyNhos

Copy code

{
  "status": 200,
  "features": {
    "alas": {
      "defaultValue": true
    },
    "bar": {
      "defaultValue": "foo"
    },
    "lorem": {
      "defaultValue": true
    }
  },
  "dateUpdated": "2022-11-06T00:34:37.739Z"
}

In browser console, I’m not seeing

lorem

enabled:

Copy code

if (growthbook.isOn("lorem")) {
            console.log("Lorem is on")
        } else {
            console.log("Lorem is off")
        }

Lorem is off

Hi, in your code, you are calling

setFeatures

asynchronously, so it's not available immediately. If you wait until after that to call

growthbook.isOn

it should work.

hi @future-teacher-7046 thanks for replying! I tried to wrap the `growthbook.isOn` call in async/await however it didn’t seem to work either. is there a reference implementation I can follow?
