OptimizelyUserContext for the Flutter SDK
Describes the OptimizelyUserContext Object which lets you make flag decisions and track events for a user context.
The OptimizelyUserContext
object lets you make flag decisions and track events for a user context you already created using the Create User Context method.
OptimizelyUserContext minimum SDK version
OptimizelyUserContext
is supported on the Optimizely Feature Experimentation Flutter SDK v1.0.1 or higher.
Forced decision methods minimum SDK version
setForcedDecision()
, getForcedDecision()
, removeForcedDecision()
and removeAllForcedDecisions()
methods are supported on version 1.0.1 and higher.
Real-Time Segments for Feature Experimentation minimum SDK version
fetchQualifiedSegments()
and isQualifiedFor()
methods are supported on v2.0.0 and higher.
OptimizelyUserContext definition
The following code shows the object definition for OptimizelyUserContext
:
class OptimizelyUserContext {
// set attributes for the user
Future<BaseResponse> setAttributes(Map<String, dynamic> attributes)
// make a decision about which flag variation the user buckets into for the flag key
Future<DecideResponse> decide(String key, [Set<OptimizelyDecideOption> options = const {}])
// make decisions about which flag variations the user buckets into for flag keys
Future<DecideForKeysResponse> decideForKeys(List<String> keys, [Set<OptimizelyDecideOption> options = const {}])
// make decisions about which flag variations the user buckets into for all flags
Future<DecideForKeysResponse> decideAll([Set<OptimizelyDecideOption> options = const {}])
// track user event
Future<BaseResponse> trackEvent(String eventKey, [Map<String, dynamic> eventTags = const {}])
// sets a forced decision (variationKey) for a given decision context
Future<BaseResponse> setForcedDecision(OptimizelyDecisionContext context, OptimizelyForcedDecision decision)
// returns the forced decision (variationKey) for a given decision context
Future<GetForcedDecisionResponse> getForcedDecision(OptimizelyDecisionContext context)
// removes the forced decision (variationKey) for a given decision context
Future<BaseResponse> removeForcedDecision(OptimizelyDecisionContext context)
// removes all the forced decisions (variationKeys) for the user context
Future<BaseResponse> removeAllForcedDecisions()
//
// The following methods require Real-Time Segments for Feature Experimentation to be configured.
//
// An array of segment names that the user is qualified for.
// The result of **fetchQualifiedSegments()** will be saved here.
// Can be nil if not properly updated with fetchQualifiedSegments().
//
// You can read and write directly to the qualified segments array.
// This allows for bypassing the remote fetching process from ODP
// or for utilizing your own fetching service.
Future<GetQualifiedSegmentsResponse> getQualifiedSegments()
/// Sets qualified segments for the user context.
///
/// Takes [qualifiedSegments] A [List] of strings specifying qualified segments for the user.
/// Returns [BaseResponse]
Future<BaseResponse> setQualifiedSegments(List<String> qualifiedSegments)
/// Fetch all qualified segments for the user context.
///
/// The segments fetched will be saved in **qualifiedSegments** and can be accessed any time using **getQualifiedSegments**.
/// On failure, **qualifiedSegments** will be nil and an error will be returned.
/// Optional [options] A set of [OptimizelySegmentOption] for fetching qualified segments.
/// Returns [BaseResponse]
Future<BaseResponse> fetchQualifiedSegments([Set<OptimizelySegmentOption> options = const {}])
/// Checks if the user is qualified for the given segment.
///
/// Takes [segment] The segment name to check qualification for.
/// Returns [BaseResponse]
Future<BaseResponse> isQualifiedFor(String segment)
}
Properties
The following table shows attributes for the OptimizelyUserContext
object:
Attribute | Type | Comment |
---|---|---|
(optional) userId | String | The ID of the user |
(optional) attributes | Map | A map of custom key-value pairs specifying attributes for the user that are used for audience targeting. You can pass the map with the user ID when you create the user. |
Methods
The following table shows methods for the OptimizelyUserContext
object:
Method | Comment |
---|---|
setAttributes | Pass the custom user attributes as key-value pairs in a map to the user context. |
decide | Returns a decide response which contains decision result for a flag key for a user. The system returns the decision result in a Decision object, and contains all data required to deliver the flag rule.See Decide methods |
decide for specified keys | Returns the decide for keys response object, which contains map of flag decisions for specified flag keys. See Decide methods |
decideAll | Returns the decide for keys response object, which contains decisions for all active (unarchived) flags for a user. See Decide methods |
trackEvent | Returns BaseResponse containing bool variable of success and string reason variable, which will be empty in case of event tracked successfully. Tracks a conversion event (in other words, an action a user takes) for a user. Logs an error message if the specified event key doesn't match any existing events.See Track Event |
setForcedDecision | Forces a user into a specific variation. See Set Forced Decision |
getForcedDecision | Returns what variation the user was forced into. See Get Forced Decision |
removeForcedDecision | Removes a user from a specific forced variation. See Remove Forced Decision |
removeAllForcedDecisions | Removes a user from all forced variations. See Remove All Forced Decisions |
fetchQualifiedSegments ** | Fetch all Optimizely Data Platform (ODP) real-time segments that the user context qualified for. See Real-Time Segments for Feature Experimentation segment qualification methods. |
isQualifiedFor ** | Check if the user context qualified for a given ODP real-time segment. See Real-Time Segments for Feature Experimentation segment qualification methods. |
getQualifiedSegments ** | Returns GetQualifiedSegmentsResponse object containing an array of segment names that the user is qualified for. See Real-Time Segments for Feature Experimentation segment qualification methods. |
setQualifiedSegments ** | Sets qualified segments for the user context. See Real-Time Segments for Feature Experimentation segment qualification methods. |
** Requires Real-Time Segments for Feature Experimentation.
