# A/B Testing
## Overview
Murph contains a basic tools to create A/B Tests.
The logic of the implement follows this logic:
* A node can be configured to enable A/B Test. You also define a code to set the name of the test
* When Murph receives a request, an event is dispatched and contains an `App\Core\Ab\AbTestInterface` object
* You must create an event subscriber and set variations defined by
- a name (a string)
- a value (whatever you want)
- a percentage chance (optional)
* Then a variation is picked and saved in user cookies
* Finally, you can retrieve the picked variation PHP side and template side
## Configure the node
Go the navigation and edit the tested node:
* Enable A/B testing
* Define a code (eg: `example_test`)

## The Event Subscriber
The event subscriber helps you to define each variation and the TTL.
```php-inline title="src/EventSubscriber/MyAbTestEventSubscriber.php"
namespace App\EventSubscriber;
use App\Core\EventSubscriber\AbEventSubscriber as EventSubscriber;
use App\Core\Event\Ab\AbTestEvent;
class MyAbTestEventSubscriber extends EventSubscriber
{
public function onInit(AbTestEvent $event)
{
if ($event->getTest()->getName() !== 'example_test') {
return;
}
$event->getTest()
->addVariation('test_1', 'Value #1', 20) // 20% of chance
->addVariation('test_2', 'Value #2', 30) // 30% of chance
->addVariation('test_3', 'Value #3', 50) // 50% of chance
->setDuration(3600 * 24) // duration of the cookie in seconds
;
}
public function onRun(AbTestEvent $event)
{
// executed if a variation is newly picked
}
}
```
## The result
you can retrieve the test and the variation picked in PHP side and in template side.
```php-inline
use App\Core\Ab\AbContainerInterface;
public function foo(AbContainerInterface $testContainer)
{
if ($testContainer->has('example_test')) {
$test = $testContainer->get('example_test');
$result = $test->getResult(); // eg: "test_2"
$value = $test->getResultValue(); // eg: "Value #2"
// ...
}
// ...
}
```
```twig
{% if ab_test_exists('example_test') %}
{% set test = ab_test('example_test') %}
{% set result = ab_test_result('example_test') %}
{% set value = ab_test_value('example_test') %}
{# ... #}
{% endif %}
```
## Global A/B Test
If you need to perform an A/B test everywhere, you need to create a specific listener:
```php-inline title="src/EventListener/CustomAbListener.php"
namespace App\EventListener;
use App\Core\EventListener\AbListener as EventListener;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\RequestEvent;
class CustomAbListener extends EventListener
{
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
protected function supports(Request $request): bool
{
return true;
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
protected function getAbTestCode(): string
{
return 'my_global_ab_test_code';
}
}
```
`CustomAbListener` must be registred:
```yaml title="config/services.yml"
services:
# ...
App\EventListener\CustomAbListener;
tags:
- { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.request }
- { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.response }
```
