Usage

Segmentify React Native App SDK is a React Native library that enables you to integrate Segmentify into your React Native app. It provides a simple interface for sending events and tracking user behavior.

It is already coded with React mentality.

SegmentifyNativeProvider

As most of the React Native libraries, SegmentifyNativeProvider is the main component that you need to wrap your app with. SegmentifyNativeProvider is a React component that wraps your app and provides the Segmentify context. It takes the following props:

- deviceInformation: DeviceInformation
- config: Config

Config

Config is a type that contains the following properties:

- apiKey: string (required)
- dataCenterUrl: string (required)
- dataCenterPushUrl: string (optional)
- subDomain: string (required)

This is the configuration that you can get from Segmentify.

`ts
const providerConfig = {
config: {
apiKey: 'your-api-key',
dataCenterUrl: 'https://per.segmentify.com',
subDomain: 'https://www.yoursite.com',
dataCenterPushUrl: 'https://psh.segmentify.com',
isApnsEnabled: false,
},
user: {
userId: '',
sessionId: '',
},
};
`

User flow is flexible. You can use it like this as well. In this way segmentify will generate userId and sessionId for you. Also you can use bare workflow as well.
Click here for more information Bare Workflow Usage.

`ts
import { SegmentifyNativeProvider } from 'segmentify-react-native';

const MyApp = ({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) => {
return (

{children}

);
};

export default MyApp;
`

useSegmentifyNative

useSegmentifyNative is a React hook that returns the Segmentify context state. It takes no arguments. Reachable objects are as follows:

`ts
segmentify: {
user: {
userId: string;
sessionId: string;
},
deviceInformation:{
deviceName:string,
deviceType:string,
appVersion:string,
},
config: {
apiKey: string,
dataCenterUrl: string,
subDomain: string,
dataCenterPushUrl: string,
isApnsEnabled: boolean,
},
}
`

`ts
import { useSegmentifyNative } from 'segmentify-react-native';

const MyComponent = () => {
const {
segmentify: {
user: { userId, sessionId },
deviceInformation: { deviceName, deviceType, appVersion },
config: {
apiKey,
dataCenterUrl,
subDomain,
dataCenterPushUrl,
isApnsEnabled,
},
},
} = useSegmentifyNative();

return ;
};
`

Interaction with Segmentify

If you have access to Segmentify Web Push product, you will need additional steps to integrate Segmentify SDK to your application.
Please follow here for more information.

_FireEvent_ method is used to send events to Segmentify. It takes the following arguments:

`ts
type FireEvent = {
type: typeof SEGMENTIFY_EVENTS;
data: TSEGMENTIFY_EVENT_PARAMETERS[typeof SEGMENTIFY_EVENTS];
};
`

`ts
import { FireEvent } from 'segmentify-react-native';

export const PRODUCT_VIEW_EVENT_EXAMPLE = {
allSizes: ['12'],
async: 'true',
brand: 'NIKE',
browser: 'Chrome',
categories: [],
currency: 'TRY',
device: 'PC',
dnt: false,
email: '',
experiments: {},
ft: '2023.07.13 02:03:19.375',
globalMode: 'REAL',
lang: 'TR',
mainCategory: 'Man',
name: 'PRODUCT_VIEW',
nextPage: false,
noProcess: false,
noUpdate: ['image', 'inStock', 'category', 'url', 'gender'],
os: 'macOS',
osversion: '10.15.7',
pageUrl: 'your_page_url',
params: { selectedSize: '', color: 'BEYAZ', model: 'DV3853-101' },
paramsList: {},
price: '3099.90',
productId: 'DV3853.101_101',
recommendIds: [],
referrer: 'your_referrer_url',
region: '',
sessionId: '4020489616172081152',
sizes: ['12'],
source: 'INTERNAL',
testMode: 'false',
title: 'Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 40',
tryCount: 0,
tz: '-180',
url: 'your_product_url',
userAgent: 'user_agent',
userId: '-897541074991628287',
};

const MyComponent = () => {
FireEvent({
type: 'PRODUCT_VIEW',
data: PRODUCT_VIEW_EVENT_EXAMPLE,
});

return ;
};
`

_FireEvent_ returns promise that resolves with response object if event is sent successfully, otherwise it rejects.

All events requires userId and sessionId to be sent and event payload changes according to event type. You can find all event types and their payload from here>).

Bare Workflow Usage

If your workflow force you to use bare workflow, initial steps will be the same.
Our library is grants methods to use in bare workflow as well.

Bare Workflow contains manual interactions or events. Generally Segmentify handles user and session flows itself. But some times in application code we would like to be responsible for user and session flows. In this case we can use following methods.

$3

`ts
import { RequestCredentials } from 'segmentify-react-native';

RequestCredentials({
requiredFields: 1 || 2,
});
`

Request Credentials returns a promise that resolves string array of length 1 or 2 depending on requiredFields parameter. There is no coersion in this method. Return values are alphanumeric and both values can be assigned to desidered fields.

e.g.:

`ts
const [userId, sessionId] = await RequestCredentials({
requiredFields: 2,
});
`

Every set of credentials should be revalidated if application is deleted and reinstalled. If you want to revalidate credentials manually you can use following method above.

Integrating Push Notifications

Segmentify Handles push notification according to your firebase integration. React Native projects requires an external package for firebase integration. You can find more information from here. Also for push notifications you need to install notifee.

$3

`js


Using npm

npm install --save @react-native-firebase/app
npm install --save @notifee/react-native

Using Yarn

yarn add @react-native-firebase/app
yarn add @notifee/react-native
`

The @react-native-firebase/app module must be installed before using any other Firebase service.

$3

To allow the Android app to securely connect to your Firebase project, a configuration file must be downloaded and added to your project.

$3

On the Firebase console, add a new Android application and enter your projects details. The Android package name must match your local projects package name which can be found inside of the manifest tag within the /android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file within your project.

Download the google-services.json file and place it inside of your project at the following location: /android/app/google-services.json.

$3

To allow Firebase on Android to use the credentials, the google-services plugin must be enabled on the project. This requires modification to two files in the Android directory.

First, add the google-services plugin as a dependency inside of your /android/build.gradle file:

`gradle
buildscript {
dependencies {
// ... other dependencies
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15'
// Add me --- /\
}
}
`

Lastly, execute the plugin by adding the following to your /android/app/build.gradle file:

`gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' // <- Add this line
`

$3

To allow the iOS app to securely connect to your Firebase project, a configuration file must be downloaded and added to your project, and you must enable frameworks in CocoaPods.

$3

On the Firebase console, add a new iOS application and enter your projects details. The "iOS bundle ID" must match your local project bundle ID. The bundle ID can be found within the "General" tab when opening the project with Xcode.

Download the GoogleService-Info.plist file.

Using Xcode, open the projects /ios/{projectName}.xcodeproj file (or /ios/{projectName}.xcworkspace if using Pods).

Right click on the project name and "Add files" to the project, as demonstrated below:

!xcode_step1

Select the downloaded GoogleService-Info.plist file from your computer, and ensure the "Copy items if needed" checkbox is enabled.

!xcode_step2

$3

To allow Firebase on iOS to use the credentials, the Firebase iOS SDK must be configured during the bootstrap phase of your application.

To do this, open your /ios/{projectName}/AppDelegate.mm file (or AppDelegate.m if on older react-native), and add the following:

At the top of the file, import the Firebase SDK right after #import "AppDelegate.h":

`objc
#import
`

Then, inside of the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method, add the following:

`objc
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication )application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary )launchOptions {
// Add me --- \/
[FIRApp configure];
// Add me --- /\
// ...
}
`

$3

Beginning with firebase-ios-sdk v9+ (react-native-firebase v15+) you must tell CocoaPods to use frameworks.

Open the file ./ios/Podfile and add this line inside your targets (right after the line calling the react native Podfile function to get the native modules config):

`objc
use_frameworks! :linkage => :static
`

To use Static Frameworks on iOS, you also need to manually enable this for the project with the following global to your /ios/Podfile file:

`objc


right after use_frameworks! :linkage => :static


$RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true
`

$3

Notes: React-Native-Firebase uses use_frameworks, which has compatibility issues with Flipper, Hermes & Fabric.

Flipper: use_frameworks is not compatible with Flipper. You need to disable Flipper by commenting out the :flipper_configuration line in your Podfile.

Hermes: a fix was put in place in react-native release 0.69.1 that allows Hermes to work with use_frameworks!. To use use_frameworks with Hermes, make sure you have set static linkage with use_frameworks! :linkage => :static.

New Architecture: Fabric is not compatible with use_frameworks!. Community support to help fix use_frameworks support for New Architecture is welcome!

$3

Once the above steps have been completed, the React Native Firebase library must be linked to your project and your application needs to be rebuilt.

Users on React Native 0.60+ automatically have access to "autolinking", requiring no further manual installation steps. To automatically link the package, rebuild your project:

`js
npx react-native run-android
`

Update Pods

`js
cd ios/
pod install --repo-update
cd ..
npx react-native run-ios
`

Once successfully linked and rebuilt, your application will be connected to Firebase using the @react-native-firebase/app module. This module does not provide much functionality, therefore to use other Firebase services, each of the modules for the individual Firebase services need installing separately.

Background Notifications (Android Only)

Android devices have different approach for background notifications. If you want to handle background notifications you need to add following lines to your index.js file.

`ts
import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';
import App from './App';
import messaging from '@react-native-firebase/messaging';
import { InitializePushService } from '@segmentify/react-native-sdk';
import { name as appName } from './app.json';

InitializePushService(messaging);

function HeadlessCheck({ isHeadless }) {
if (isHeadless) {
return null;
}

return ;
}

AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => HeadlessCheck);
`

Highly Recommended

Right after installing Segmentify and Firebase, you should run the following commands to make sure that everything is working properly.

`js
cd ios/
rm -rf Pods
pod deintegrate
pod install --repo-update
`

Integrating Segmentify

Segmentify requires your firebase instance to be passed to SegmentifyProvider to execute your push flow automatically.

`ts
import messaging from '@react-native-firebase/messaging';
import { SegmentifyNativeProvider } from 'segmentify-react-native';
const providerConfig={
.
.
.
}

const AppProviders =({children}:React.ReactNode)=>{
.
.
.
.

return (
segmentifyState={providerConfig}
messaging={messaging}
>
{children}

);
)
}
`

Push Notification Features handles permissions and token generation automatically. Background and foreground events as push-interactions and push-view handled by segmentify-react-native. Currently we are not supporting deep linking. But we are planning to add this feature in the future.

By default mobile devices operating systems have restricted policy about requesting permissions modal customizations. But we have great news for firebase users that they can customize descriptions using GoogleService-info.plist(ios) or google-services.json(android) files.

$3

You can customize your push notification title and bodies using html and inline css in segmentify campaign management tool.

$3

This is a quick guide to display an image in an incoming notification. Android handles this out of the box so this extra setup is only necessary for iOS.

| If you want to know more about the specifics of this setup read the official Firebase docs.

Before you start Be sure you already have Cloud Messaging installed and set up. In case you don't get started here.

$3

From Xcode top menu go to: File > New > Target...
A modal will present a list of possible targets, scroll down or use the filter to select Notification Service Extension. Press Next.

- Add a product name (use ImageNotification to follow along) and click Finish
- Enable the scheme by clicking Activate

!step-1

$3

Ensure that your new extension has access to Firebase/Messaging pod by adding it in the Podfile:

- From the Navigator open the Podfile: Pods > Podfile
- Scroll down to the bottom of the file and add:

`objc
target 'ImageNotification' do
pod 'Firebase/Messaging', '~> VERSION_NUMBER' # eg 6.31.0
end
`

- Make sure to change the version number VERSION_NUMBER with the currently installed version (check your Podfile.lock)
- Install or update your pods using pod install from the ios folder

!step-2

$3

At this point everything should still be running normally. This is the final step which is invoking the extension helper.

From the navigator select your ImageNotification extension
Open the NotificationService.m file
At the top of the file import FirebaseMessaging.h right after the NotificationService.h as shown below

`objc
#import "NotificationService.h"
+ #import "FirebaseMessaging.h"
then replace everything from line 25 to 28 with the extension helper
- // Modify the notification content here...
- self.bestAttemptContent.title = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ [modified]", self.bestAttemptContent.title];

- self.contentHandler(self.bestAttemptContent);
+ [[FIRMessaging extensionHelper] populateNotificationContent:self.bestAttemptContent withContentHandler:contentHandler];
`

!step-3

Run the app and check it builds successfully – make sure you have the correct target selected. Now you can use the Notifications composer to test sending notifications with an image (300KB max size).

Configuring Push Notifications

SegmentifyNativeProvider has optional parameter to customize your notifications.

`ts
pushNotification:{
ios:{},
android:{}
}
