Note: This is an experimental/alpha project.

A library for sending events to Honeycomb written in Swift.

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

gem install cocoapods

To integrate LibHoney into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

target '<Target name>' do
  # If you're using LibHoney with Objective-C, uncomment use_frameworks!
  # use_frameworks!  
  pod 'LibHoney', '~> 1.0'
end

Then run the following command:

pod install

Since LibHoney depends on Alamofire, if you're using LibHoney in Objective-C, you might have to set the SWIFT_VERSION variable for Alamofire in the Pods build settings.

To use LibHoney, you have to first configure the library with your writeKey and dataset name.

In the AppDelegate inside didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

import LibHoney

// ...

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {    
    // other code...
    LibHoney.configure(writeKey: "<your write key>", dataset: "<your dataset name>")    
}

To send an event, simply create a new event and add fields to it:

let event = LibHoney.shared?.newEvent()
event?.add(key: "stringValue", value: "Hello, world")
event?.add(key: "intValue", value: 199)
event?.add(key: "boolValue", value: true)
event?.add(key: "doubleValue", value: 3.14159)
LibHoney.shared?.send(event)

If LibHoney is not configured, LibHoney.shared returns nil. With the code above, you can safely bypass the configuration step in debug environments.

To set values such that it gets sent on every event, add the key to the shared LibHoney object

LibHoney.shared?.add(key: "user", value: "<user id>")

LibHoney automatically extracts device information and send them with each event. To disable this behavior:

LibHoney.shared?.collectDeviceStats = false

To use LibHoney, you have to first configure the library with your writeKey and dataset name.

In the AppDelegate inside didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

@import LibHoney;

// ...

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    // other code...
    [LibHoney configureWithWriteKey:@"<your write key>" dataset:@"<your dataset name>"];    
}

To send an event, simply create a new event and add fields to it:

HoneyEvent* event = [LibHoney.shared newEvent];
[event addKey: @"stringValue" stringValue: @"Hello, world"];
[event addKey: @"intValue" intValue: 199];
[event addKey: @"boolValue" boolValue: true];
[event addKey: @"doubleValue" doubleValue: 3.14159];
[LibHoney.shared send: event];

If LibHoney is not configured, LibHoney.shared returns a nil object.

To set values such that it gets sent on every event, add the key to the shared LibHoney object

[LibHoney.shared addKey:@"user" stringValue:@"<user Id>"];

LibHoney automatically extracts device information and send them with each event. To disable this behavior:

LibHoney.shared.collectDeviceStats = NO;
