Freshpaint iOS SDK Reference

Initialization and Configuration

Importing the SDK

Swift

import FreshpaintSDK

Objective-C

#import <FreshpaintSDK/FPAnalytics.h>

Initializing the SDK

Swift

let configuration = FreshpaintConfiguration("<your environment id>")
configuration.trackApplicationLifecycleEvents = true;
configuration.recordScreenViews = true;
Freshpaint.setup(with: configuration)

Objective-C

    FPAnalyticsConfiguration *configuration = [FPAnalyticsConfiguration configurationWithWriteKey:@"<your environment id>"];
    configuration.trackApplicationLifecycleEvents = YES;
    configuration.recordScreenViews = YES;
    [FPAnalytics setupWithConfiguration:configuration];

You can get your environment id from the Freshpaint sources page.

The FPAnalyticsConfiguration class provides the following configuration options:

Name	Swift/Objective-C Type	Description	Default
flushAt	UInt /NSUInteger	How many events to queue before flushing the queue.	20
flushInterval	TimeInterval/NSTimeInterval	The maximum amount of time to wait before flushing queued events.	10 seconds
maxQueueSize	UInt/NSUInteger	The maximum number of events to queue before starting to drop the oldest ones.	1000
recordScreenViews	Bool/BOOL	Whether or not screen view changes will automatically be recorded.	NO
trackApplicationLifecycleEvents	Bool/BOOL	Whether or not the Application Installed, Application Updated, and Application Opened events should be automtically tracked.	NO

iOS SDK API

track

The track call can be used to manually send data to your destinations.

Swift

Freshpaint.shared().track(
    "Purchase", 
    properties: ["price": 500]
)

Objective-C

[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics]
              track:@"Purchase" 
              properties:@{ @"price": @500 }];

Argument	Swift/Objective-C Type	Required	Description
event	String/NSString *	Yes	The name of the event to send.
properties	[String : Any]/NSDictionary *	No	Additional properties to attach to the event.

identify

The identify call attaches an identity or user properties to the user.

Swift

Freshpaint.shared().identify(
    "[e-mail]", 
    traits: [
      "email": "[e-mail]", 
      "name": "Ada Lovelace"
    ]
);

Objective-C

[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics] 
              identify:@"[e-mail]"
              traits:@{ @"email": @"[e-mail]",
                        @"name": @"Ada Lovelace" }]

Argument	Swift/Objective-C Type	Required	Description
userId	String/NSString *	No	The id to attach to the user.
traits	[String : Any]/NSDictionary *	No	Additional user properties to attach to the user.

screen

The screen call triggers a screen event. This is the mobile equivalent of a pageview event. Some destinations will treat this event specially.

Swift

Freshpaint.shared().screen(
    "Home Screen", 
    properties: ["A/B Test Variant": "A"]
);

Objective-C

[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics] 
              screen:@"Home Screen"
              properties:@{ @"A/B Test Variant": @"A" }]

Argument	Swift/Objective-C Type	Required	Description
name	String/NSString*	Yes	The name of the screen.
properties	[String : Any]/NSDictionary *	No	Additional properties to attach to the event.

group

The group call associates the user with a user group. Some destinations let you work with groups of users. For example, Amplitude lets you group users together and then perform analytics on the individual groups. Most often, a group of users is all users that work for a single organization.

Swift

Freshpaint.shared().group(
    "Google", 
    traits: [
      "plan": "enterprise", 
      "sign-up-date": "04/04/2019"
    ]
);

Objective-C

[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics]
              group:@"Google"
              traits:@{ @"plan": @"enterprise",
                        @"sign-up-date": "04/04/2019" }]

Argument	Swift/Objective-C Type	Required	Description
groupId	String/NSString *	Yes	The id of the group to add the user to.
traits	[String : Any]/NSDictinoary *	No	Additional properties to attach to the group.

alias

The alias call can be used to specify one user id as an alias for another user id. Calling this will alias the current user's identity to the new provided identity. This is needed to implement identify for some destinations, specifically Mixpanel and Kissmetrics.

Swift

Freshpaint.shared().alias("[e-mail]")

Objective-C

[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics] alias:@"[e-mail]"];

Argument	Swift/Objective-C Type	Required	Description
newId	String/NSString *	Yes	The id you want to alias the current user's identity to.

reset

The reset call clears any local Freshpaint data attached to this user. This does not clear any local data for any of your destinations. For example this may be useful if a user logs out and logs in to a different account.

Swift

Freshpaint.shared().reset()

Objective-C

[[FPAnalytics sharedAnalytics] reset]
