Actions

To create an action use Action.create method:

let action = Action.create(type: ActionType.addFriend)

Add action data using Action.create(type: data:) method. For the default GetSocial actions use one of ActionDataKey constants to guarantee the default behavior. Also you can pass any custom data you want and handle it on the receiver side.

You can send any of predefined actions that will be handled by the SDK, for example to open Activity Feed with id “funny-stories” use:

let action = Action.create(type: ActionType.OpenActivity, data: [ActionDataKey.OpenActivity_ActivityId: "funny-stories"])

Currently you can attach actions to notifications or activity posts.

Handle Actions

func handle(_ action: Action) -> Bool {
    if (action.type == ActionType.openProfile) {
        showNewFriend(action.data[ActionDataKey.openProfile_UserId])
        return true
    }
    if (action.type == "try-campaign-mode") {
        startCampaignMode()
        return true
    }
    // Other actions are handled by GetSocial.
    return false
}

To handle custom actions use:

Tip

If you are not using GetSocial UI, we recommend to handle action by yourself - better user experience would be to react to actions.

GetSocial Actions

GetSocial SDK provides a list of predefined actions and handle(_ action: Action) method to process them. We use it internally in GetSocial UI. For you it may be helpful when building your custom UI.
