Installation

1. Download and install the mParticle React Native library from npm:

$ npm install react-native-mparticle --save

2. Install the native dependencies. You can use rnpm (now part of react-native core via link) to add native dependencies automatically:

$ react-native link

iOS

1. Copy your mParticle key and secret from your app's dashboard.

2. Install the SDK using CocoaPods:

$ # Update your Podfile to depend on 'mParticle-Apple-SDK' version 7.2.0 or later
$ pod install

The mParticle SDK is initialized by calling the startWithOptions method within the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: delegate call.

Preferably the location of the initialization method call should be one of the last statements in the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:.

The startWithOptions method requires an options argument containing your key and secret and an initial Identity request.

Note that you must initialize the SDK in the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method. Other parts of the SDK rely on the UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification notification to function properly. Failing to start the SDK as indicated will impair it. Also, please do not use GCD's dispatch_async to start the SDK.

For more help, see the iOS set up docs.

3. Import and start the mParticle Apple SDK into Swift or Objective-C.

Swift Example

import mParticle_Apple_SDK

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        
        //override point for customization after application launch.
        let mParticleOptions = MParticleOptions(key: "<<<App Key Here>>>", secret: "<<<App Secret Here>>>")
        
        //optional- Please see the Identity page for more information on building this object
        let request = MPIdentityApiRequest()
        request.email = "[email protected]"
        mParticleOptions.identifyRequest = request
        //optional
        mParticleOptions.onIdentifyComplete = { (apiResult, error) in
            NSLog("Identify complete. userId = %@ error = %@", apiResult?.user.userId.stringValue ?? "Null User ID", error?.localizedDescription ?? "No Error Available")
        }
        //optional
        mParticleOptions.onAttributionComplete = { (attributionResult, error) in
                    NSLog(@"Attribution Complete. attributionResults = %@", attributionResult.linkInfo)
        }
        MParticle.sharedInstance().start(with: mParticleOptions)        
        return true
}

Objective-C Example

For apps supporting iOS 8 and above, Apple recommends using the import syntax for modules or semantic import. However, if you prefer the traditional CocoaPods and static libraries delivery mechanism, that is fully supported as well.

If you are using mParticle as a framework, your import statement will be as follows:

@import mParticle_Apple_SDK;                // Apple recommended syntax, but requires "Enable Modules (C and Objective-C)" in pbxproj
#import <mParticle_Apple_SDK/mParticle.h>   // Works when modules are not enabled

Otherwise, for CocoaPods without use_frameworks!, you can use either of these statements:

#import <mParticle-Apple-SDK/mParticle.h>
#import "mParticle.h"

Next, you'll need to start the SDK:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
        didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

    MParticleOptions *mParticleOptions = [MParticleOptions optionsWithKey:@"REPLACE ME"
                                                                   secret:@"REPLACE ME"];
    
    //optional - Please see the Identity page for more information on building this object
    MPIdentityApiRequest *request = [MPIdentityApiRequest requestWithEmptyUser];
    request.email = @"[email protected]";
    mParticleOptions.identifyRequest = request;
    //optional
    mParticleOptions.onIdentifyComplete = ^(MPIdentityApiResult * _Nullable apiResult, NSError * _Nullable error) {
        NSLog(@"Identify complete. userId = %@ error = %@", apiResult.user.userId, error);
    };
    //optional
    mParticleOptions.onAttributionComplete(MPAttributionResult * _Nullable attributionResult, NSError * _Nullable error) {
        NSLog(@"Attribution Complete. attributionResults = %@", attributionResult.linkInfo)
    }
    
    [[MParticle sharedInstance] startWithOptions:mParticleOptions];
    
    return YES;
}

See Identity for more information on supplying an MPIdentityApiRequest object during SDK initialization.

Android

1. Copy your mParticle key and secret from your workspace's dashboard and construct an MParticleOptions object.

2. Call start from the onCreate method of your app's Application class. It's crucial that the SDK be started here for proper session management. If you don't already have an Application class, create it and then specify its fully-qualified name in the <application> tag of your app's AndroidManifest.xml.

For more help, see the Android set up docs.

package com.example.myapp;

import android.app.Application;
import com.mparticle.MParticle;

class MyApplication : Application() {
    fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        val options: MParticleOptions = MParticleOptions.builder(this)
            .credentials("REPLACE ME WITH KEY", "REPLACE ME WITH SECRET")
            //optional
            .logLevel(MParticle.LogLevel.VERBOSE)
            //optional
            .identify(identifyRequest)
            //optional
            .identifyTask(
                BaseIdentityTask()
                    .addFailureListener { errorResponse -> }
                    .addSuccessListener{ result -> }
            )
            //optional
            .attributionListener(this)
            .build()
        MParticle.start(options)
    }
}

Warning: Don't log events in your Application.onCreate(). Android may instantiate your Application class in the background without your knowledge, including when the user isn't using their device, and lead to unexpected results.

Usage

Import the mParticle Module

import MParticle from 'react-native-mparticle'

Logging Events

To log basic events:

MParticle.logEvent('Test event', MParticle.EventType.Other, { 'Test key': 'Test value' })

To log commerce events:

const product = new MParticle.Product('Test product for cart', '1234', 19.99)
const transactionAttributes = new MParticle.TransactionAttributes('Test transaction id')
const event = MParticle.CommerceEvent.createProductActionEvent(MParticle.ProductActionType.AddToCart, [product], transactionAttributes)

MParticle.logCommerceEvent(event)

const promotion = new MParticle.Promotion('Test promotion id', 'Test promotion name', 'Test creative', 'Test position')
const event = MParticle.CommerceEvent.createPromotionEvent(MParticle.PromotionActionType.View, [promotion])

MParticle.logCommerceEvent(event)

const product = new MParticle.Product('Test product that was viewed', '5678', 29.99)
const impression = new MParticle.Impression('Test impression list name', [product])
const event = MParticle.CommerceEvent.createImpressionEvent([impression])

MParticle.logCommerceEvent(event)

To log screen events:

MParticle.logScreenEvent('Test screen', { 'Test key': 'Test value' })

User

To set, remove, and get user details, call the User or Identity methods as follows:

MParticle.User.setUserAttribute('User ID', 'Test key', 'Test value')

MParticle.User.setUserAttribute('User ID', MParticle.UserAttributeType.FirstName, 'Test first name')

MParticle.User.setUserAttributeArray('User ID', 'Test key', ['Test value 1', 'Test value 2'])

MParticle.User.setUserTag('User ID', 'Test value')

MParticle.User.removeUserAttribute('User ID', 'Test key')

MParticle.Identity.getUserIdentities((userIdentities) => {
	console.debug(userIdentities);
});

IdentityRequest

var request = new MParticle.IdentityRequest()

Set a user Alias to be ran anytime the user’s identity changes

request.onUserAlias = (previousUser, newUser) => {
    console.debug(previousUser.userID);
    console.debug(newUser.userID);
};

Setting user identities:

var request = new MParticle.IdentityRequest();
request.setUserIdentity('[email protected]', MParticle.UserIdentityType.Email);

Identity

MParticle.Identity.getCurrentUser((currentUser) => {
    console.debug(currentUser.userID);
});

var request = new MParticle.IdentityRequest();

MParticle.Identity.identify(request, (error, userId) => {
    if (error) {
        console.debug(error); //error is an MParticleError
    } else {
        console.debug(userId);
    }
});

var request = new MParticle.IdentityRequest();
request.email = 'test email';

MParticle.Identity.login(request, (error, userId) => {
    if (error) {
        console.debug(error); //error is an MParticleError
    } else {
        console.debug(userId);
    }
});

var request = new MParticle.IdentityRequest();

MParticle.Identity.logout(request, (error, userId) => {
    if (error) {
        console.debug(error);
    } else {
        console.debug(userId);
    }
});

var request = new MParticle.IdentityRequest();
request.email = 'test email 2';

MParticle.Identity.modify(request, (error, userId) => {
    if (error) {
        console.debug(error); //error is an MParticleError
    } else {
        console.debug(userId);
    }
});

Attribution

var attributions = MParticle.getAttributions();

In order to listen for Attributions asynchronously, you need to set the proper field in MParticleOptions as shown in the Android or the iOS SDK start examples.

Kits

Check if a kit is active

var isKitActive = MParticle.isKitActive(kitId);

Check and set the SDK's opt out status

var isOptedOut = MParticle.getOptOut();
MParticle.setOptOut(!isOptedOut);

Push Registration

The method MParticle.logPushRegistration() accepts 2 parameters. For Android, provide both the pushToken and senderId. For iOS, provide the push token in the first parameter, and simply pass null for the second parameter.

Android

MParticle.logPushRegistration(pushToken, senderId);

iOS

MParticle.logPushRegistration(pushToken, null);

GDPR Consent

Add a GDPRConsent

var gdprConsent = GDPRConsent()
    .setConsented(true)
    .setDocument("the document")
    .setTimestamp(new Date().getTime())  // optional, native SDK will automatically set current timestamp if omitted
    .setLocation("the location")
    .setHardwareId("the hardwareId");

MParticle.addGDPRConsentState(gdprConsent, "the purpose");

Remove a GDPRConsent

MParticle.removeGDPRConsentStateWithPurpose("the purpose");

CCPA Consent

Add a CCPAConsent

var ccpaConsent = CCPAConsent()
    .setConsented(true)
    .setDocument("the document")
    .setTimestamp(new Date().getTime())  // optional, native SDK will automatically set current timestamp if omitted
    .setLocation("the location")
    .setHardwareId("the hardwareId");

MParticle.addCCPAConsentState(ccpaConsent);

Remove CCPAConsent

MParticle.removeCCPAConsentState();
