/**
 * FeatureGate defines util methods for enabling or disabling features in development based on a flag in local storage.
 * A global `window.FeatureGate` object is made available in phoenix that can be called anytime after AppStart.
 *
 * ## Usage
 * For Eg. You may have an extensions in development that colors phoenix in red. But you are working on a new feature
 * that makes other colors available, but not yet ready for use. So put the extension behind a named feature gate
 * so that only people who want to test the extension will be able to use it.
 *
 * ### creating a feature gate
 * ```js
 * // within extensions
 * const FeatureGate = brackets.getModule("utils/FeatureGate"); // replace with `require` for core modules.
 * const FEATURE_NEW_COLORS = 'myExtension.newColors';
 * FeatureGate.registerFeatureGate(FEATURE_NEW_COLORS, false); // false is the default value
 * ```
 *
 * ### checking if a feature is gated
 * Once the feature is registered, use the below code to check if the feature can be safely enabled. For Eg., if
 * you want to enable fancy colors based on the example above:
 *
 * ```js
 * if(FeatureGate.isFeatureEnabled(FEATURE_NEW_COLORS)){
 *    // do fancy colors here
 * }
 * ```
 * ### Enabling features for testing
 * 1. Open developer tools > local storage
 * 2. Add a new key with the key you have specified for the feature gate.
 *    In the above Eg., the key is `myExtension.newColors`
 * 3. set the value in local storage to `enabled` to enable the feature or anything else to disable.
 * @module utils/FeatureGate
