## Configure
-It is **required** to configure the `url` of the unleash server. Please substitute the sample `'http://unleash.herokuapp.com/api'` for the url of your own instance.
+It is **required** to configure the `url` of the unleash server and `app_name` with the name of the runninng application. Please substitute the sample `'http://unleash.herokuapp.com/api'` for the url of your own instance.
-It is **highly recommended** to configure `app_name` and the `instance_id`.
+It is **highly recommended** to configure the `instance_id` parameter as well.
-For other options please see `lib/unleash/configuration.rb`.
```ruby
Unleash.configure do |config|
- config.url = 'http://unleash.herokuapp.com/api'
- config.app_name = 'my_ruby_app'
+ config.url = 'http://unleash.herokuapp.com/api'
+ config.app_name = 'my_ruby_app'

or instantiate the client with the valid configuration:
```ruby
UNLEASH = Unleash::Client.new(url: 'http://unleash.herokuapp.com/api', app_name: 'my_ruby_app')

+#### List of Arguments
+
+Argument | Description | Required? | Type | Default Value|
+---------|-------------|-----------|-------|---------------|
+`url` | Unleash server URL. | Y | String | N/A |
+`app_name` | Name of your program. | Y | String | N/A |
+`instance_id` | Identifier for the running instance of program. Important so you can trace back to where metrics are being collected from. **Highly recommended be be set.** | N | String | random UUID |
+`refresh_interval` | How often the unleash client should check with the server for configuration changes. | N | Integer | 15 |
+`metrics_interval` | How often the unleash client should send metrics to server. | N | Integer | 10 |
+`disable_client` | Disables all communication with the Unleash server. If set, `is_enabled?` will always answer with the `default_value` and configuration validation is skipped. Defeats the entire purpose of using unleash, but can be useful in when running tests. | N | Boolean | F |
+`disable_metrics` | Disables sending metrics to Unleash server. | N | Boolean | F |
+`custom_http_headers` | Custom headers to send to Unleash. | N | Hash | {} |
+`timeout` | How long to wait for the connection to be established or wait in reading state (open_timeout/read_timeout) | N | Integer | 30 |
+`retry_limit` | How many consecutive failures in connecting to the Unleash server are allowed before giving up. | N | Integer | 1 |
+`backup_file` | Filename to store the last known state from the Unleash server. Best to not change this from the default. | N | `Dir.tmpdir + "/unleash-#{app_name}-repo.json` |
+`logger` | Specify a custom `Logger` class to handle logs from the client. | N | `Logger.new(STDOUT)` |
+`log_level` | Change the log level for the `Logger` class. | N | `Logger::ERROR` |
+
+For in a more in depth look, please see `lib/unleash/configuration.rb`.

## Usage in a plain Ruby Application

```ruby
Unleash.configure do |config|

# config.instance_id = "#{Socket.gethostname}"

end
UNLEASH = Unleash::Client.new
```
For `config.instance_id` use a string with a unique identification for the running instance. For example: it could be the hostname, if you only run one App per host. Or the docker container id, if you are running in docker. If it is not set the client will generate an unique UUID for each execution.

## Development
After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
