OptimizelyUserContext for the Swift SDK
Describes the OptimizelyUserContext
object for the Swift SDK, which lets you make flag decisions and track events for a user context in Optimizely Feature Experimentation.
The OptimizelyUserContext
object lets you make flag decisions and track events for a user context you have already created using the Create User Context method.
Also, if you have Real-Time Audiences for Feature Experimentation, you can evaluate if your user qualifies for an audience segment.

OptimizelyUserContext
definition
OptimizelyUserContext
definitionThe following code shows the object definition for OptimizelyUserContext
:
public class OptimizelyUserContext {
public var userId: String
public var attributes: [String: Any?]
public init(optimizely: OptimizelyClient,
userId: String,
attributes: [String: Any]? = nil)
// Set an attribute for the user.
public func setAttribute(key: String, value: Any) -> Bool
// Make a decision about which flag variation the user buckets into for the flag key.
public func decide(key: String,
options: [OptimizelyDecideOption]? = nil) -> OptimizelyDecision
// Make decisions about which flag variations the user buckets into for flag keys.
public func decide(keys: [String],
options: [OptimizelyDecideOption]? = nil) -> [String: OptimizelyDecision]
// Make decisions about which flag variations the user buckets into for all flags.
public func decideAll(options: [OptimizelyDecideOption]? = nil) -> [String: OptimizelyDecision]
// Track user event.
public func trackEvent(eventKey: String, eventTags: [String: Any]? = nil)
// OptimizelyDecisionContext
public struct OptimizelyDecisionContext {
public let flagKey: String
public let ruleKey: String?
}
// OptimizelyForcedDecision
public struct OptimizelyForcedDecision {
public let variationKey:String
}
// Sets a forced decision (variationKey) for a given decision context (flagKey and optional ruleKey).
public func setForcedDecision(context: OptimizelyDecisionContext,
decision: OptimizelyForcedDecision) -> Bool
// Returns the forced decision (variationKey) for a given decision context (flagKey and optional ruleKey).
public func getForcedDecision(context: OptimizelyDecisionContext) -> OptimizelyForcedDecision?
// Removes the forced decision (variationKey) for a given decision context (flagKey and optional ruleKey).
public func removeForcedDecision(context: OptimizelyDecisionContext) -> Bool
// Removes all the forced decisions (variationKeys) for the user context.
public func removeAllForcedDecisions() -> Bool
//
// The following methods require Real-Time Audiences for Feature Experimentation.
// See note following this code sample.
//
// An array of audience segment names that the user is qualified for.
// The result of **fetchQualifiedSegments()** is saved here.
// Can be nil if not properly updated with fetchQualifiedSegments().
//
// You can read and write directly to the qualified segments array.
// This lets you bypass the remote fetching process from ODP
// or for utilizing your own fetching service.
public var qualifiedSegments: [String]?
// Fetch all qualified audience segments for the user context.
//
// The segments fetched are saved in **qualifiedSegments** and can be accessed any time.
// On failure, **qualifiedSegments** is nil and one of the following errors are returned:
// - OptimizelyError.invalidSegmentIdentifier
// - OptimizelyError.fetchSegmentsFailed(String)
//
// - Parameters:
// - options – (Optional) A set of options for fetching qualified segments.
// - completionHandler – A completion handler to be called with the fetch result.
// On success, it passes a non-nil segments array (can be empty) with a nil error.
// On failure, it passes a non-nil error with a nil segments array.
public func fetchQualifiedSegments(options: [OptimizelySegmentOption] = [],
completionHandler: @escaping ([String]?, OptimizelyError?) -> Void)
// Check is the user qualified for the given segment.
// - Parameter segment – The segment name to check qualification for.
// - Returns – True, if qualified.
public func isQualifiedFor(segment: String) -> Bool
}
NoteYou must configure Real-Time Audiences for Feature Experimentation to access the
qualifiedSegments
variable and thefetchQualifiedSegments()
andisQualifiedFor()
methods.
Properties
The following table shows attributes for the OptimizelyUserContext
object:
Attribute | Type | Comment |
---|---|---|
userId | String | The ID of the user |
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 |
---|---|
| Pass a custom user attribute as a key-value pair to the user context. |
| Returns a decision result for a flag key for a user in an |
| Returns a map of flag decisions for specified flag keys. See Decide methods. |
| Returns decisions for all active (unarchived) flags for a user. See Decide methods. |
| Tracks a conversion event for a user (an action a user takes) and logs an error message if the specified event key does not match any existing events. See Track Event. |
| Forces a user into a specific variation. See Set Forced Decision |
| Returns what variation the user was forced into. See Get Forced Decision. |
| Removes a user from a specific forced variation. See Remove Forced Decision. |
| Removes a user from all forced variations. See Remove All Forced Decisions. |
| Fetch Optimizely Data Platform (ODP) real-time audience segments that the user context qualified for. See Real-Time Audiences for Feature Experimentation segment qualification methods. |
| Check if the user context qualified for a given ODP real-time segment. See Real-Time Audiences for Feature Experimentation segment qualification methods. |
