Summary

LaunchDarkly's JavaScript SDK enables access to feature flags in client-side JavaScript. However, due to the untrusted environment of browsers, it works differently from their server-side SDK. To maximize security when using client-side feature flags, companies should follow three best practices: 1) Choose appropriate use cases for client-side feature flags; 2) Enable Secure Mode to protect customer data; and 3) Use a package manager to bundle the SDK. These practices help ensure that your use of client-side feature flags keeps your data and customers' data safe.
