Usage

First, import the module:

import SiftReactNative from "sift-react-native";

Then, invoke the following method to initialise the SDK:

Configure the account details

SiftReactNative.setSiftConfig(accountId, beaconKey, disallowCollectingLocationData, serverUrlFormat);

Where:

• accountId (string, the Account ID that needs to be obtained from Sift console under API Keys tab) required
• beaconKey (string, the Beacon Key that needs to be obtained from Sift console under API Keys tab) required
• disallowCollectingLocationData (boolean, permission to allow collection of location data from device)

Make sure to add location permissions to your application if you want Sift to collect location data. Sift will not request permissions that are not granted by the user from your application.

• serverUrlFormat (string, the format of URL where the data needs to be uploaded) -- Sample URL format for iOS: https://api3.siftscience.com/v3/accounts/%@/mobile_events -- Sample URL format for Android: https://api3.siftscience.com/v3/accounts/%s/mobile_events

NB: This feature is available only in iOS platform

Set the User ID

As soon as your application is aware of the user id, set it on the Sift instance using the code below. All subsequent events will include the user id.

SiftReactNative.setUserId(userId);

If the user logs out of your application, you should unset the user id:

SiftReactNative.unsetUserId();

Upload event

To upload collected events to sift.

SiftReactNative.upload();

Set page name

NB: This feature is available only in Android platform

To set the page name

SiftReactNative.setPageName("HomePage");
