Authentication

Setup

There is a setup call that you need to do before registration or login. You can get your App ID by signing up on Kommunicate dashboard. Add below line in AppDelegate's launch method or just before the registration:

Kommunicate.setup(applicationId: <pass your App ID>)

Registration/Login

Convenient methods are present in Kommunicate class to register a user on Kommunicate.

Currently we support two different types of users on our iOS SDK:

1.Visitors

In this case you don't have any information of the users that can be used as an userId. In this case a randomId will be assigned as an userId. So first get the userId as described below and pass the same in registration process mentioned below.

let userId = Kommunicate.randomId()

2.Registered User

If the user is logged in your app then you can pass the user information in this way.

// Use this while creating a `KMUser` object below.
let userId = <pass a unique key>
let emailId = <pass user's emailId> // Optional

Register User

To register a user to the Kommunicate server, use below method from Kommunicate class:

Create a KMUser object and pass it to the registerUser method:

let kmUser = KMUser()
kmUser.userId = userId
kmUser.email = emailId // Optional
kmUser.applicationId = appId

// Use this same API for login
Kommunicate.registerUser(kmUser, completion: {
    response, error in
    guard error == nil else {return}
    print("Success")
})

To check if user is already logged in, use below API:

if Kommunicate.isLoggedIn {
  // User is already logged in
}

Note: To avoid calling in registration everytime use isLoggedIn to check if the user is already logged in or not.
