Register app user

Register your app users with Shake by calling the Shake.registerUser method.

The passed user identifier argument should ideally reflect the identifier that uniquely represents the app user in your database. Often it is the app user's email address, but it may be their app User ID, or their device's UUID. Shake's public method is intentionally called register and not logIn because app user identification context is different in different apps.

Most apps communicate with their backend through the network layer which performs the URL request and asynchronously receives a callback with the request result. That callback's body is a common place where developers call the Shake.registerUser method, but maybe your context is different. Make sure to call this method at the place where it fits your app's flow perfectly.

A common case is to register app users from your app's Login screen

Objective-C

UserManager.m

@implementation UserManager

- (void)logInUser:(NSString )userEmail password:(NSString *)password {

    __weak typeof (LogInViewModel) *weakSelf = self;
    
    [self.networkService performLogInWithEmail:userEmail password:password completion:^(UserResponse _Nullable userResponse, NSError * _Nullable error) {
    
        if (userResponse) {
        /// Succesfull log in flow

            [SHKShake registerUserWithUserId:userEmail];

            /**
            Or even better,
            [SHKShake registerUserWithUserId:userResponse.internalUserIdentifier];
            */

            [weakSelf didLoginWithUserResponse:userResponse];

            return;
        }

        /// Log in failed flow
        
    }];
} 
@end

Swift

UserManager.swift

func logInUser(email: String, password: String) {

    self.networkService.performLogin(email: email, password: password) { [weak self] userResponse in

        if userResponse {

            Shake.registerUser(userId: email)

            self?.didLogin(userResponse: userResponse)

            /**
            Or even better,
            Shake.registerUser(userId: userResponse.internalUserIdentifier)
            */

            return;
        }
        /// Handle failed login
    }
