The OpenPanel Swift SDK allows you to integrate OpenPanel analytics into your iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS applications.

## Features
- Easy-to-use API for tracking events and user properties
- Automatic collection of app states
- Support for custom event properties
- Shared instance for easy access throughout your app
## Requirements
- iOS 13.0+ / macOS 10.15+ / tvOS 13.0+ / watchOS 6.0+
- Xcode 12.0+
- Swift 5.3+
## Installation
<Steps>
### Step 1: Add Package via Swift Package Manager
You can add OpenPanel to an Xcode project by adding it as a package dependency.
1. From the **File** menu, select **Add Packages...**
2. Enter `https://github.com/Openpanel-dev/swift-sdk` into the package repository URL text field
3. Click **Add Package**
Alternatively, if you have a `Package.swift` file, you can add OpenPanel as a dependency:
```swift
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/Openpanel-dev/swift-sdk")
]
```
### Step 2: Import and Initialize
First, import the SDK in your Swift file:
```swift
import OpenPanel
```
Then, initialize the OpenPanel SDK with your client ID:
```swift
OpenPanel.initialize(options: .init(
clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
))
```
### Configuration Options
<CommonSdkConfig />
Additional Swift-specific options:
- `filter` - A closure that will be called before tracking an event. If it returns false, the event will not be tracked
- `disabled` - Set to `true` to disable all event tracking
- `automaticTracking` - Set to `true` to automatically track app lifecycle events
#### Filter Example
```swift
OpenPanel.initialize(options: .init(
clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
filter: { payload in
// Your custom filtering logic here
return true // or false to filter out the event
}
))
```
</Steps>
## Usage
### Tracking Events
To track an event:
```swift
OpenPanel.track(name: "Button Clicked", properties: ["button_id": "submit_form"])
```
### Identifying Users
To identify a user:
```swift
OpenPanel.identify(payload: IdentifyPayload(
profileId: "user123",
firstName: "John",
lastName: "Doe",
email: "john@example.com",
properties: ["subscription": "premium"]
))
```
### Setting Global Properties
To set properties that will be sent with every event:
```swift
OpenPanel.setGlobalProperties([
"app_version": "1.0.2",
"environment": "production"
])
```
### Incrementing Properties
To increment a numeric property:
```swift
OpenPanel.increment(payload: IncrementPayload(profileId: "user123", property: "login_count"))
```
### Decrementing Properties
To decrement a numeric property:
```swift
OpenPanel.decrement(payload: DecrementPayload(profileId: "user123", property: "credits_remaining"))
```
## Advanced Usage
### Disabling Tracking
You can temporarily disable tracking during initialization:
```swift
OpenPanel.initialize(options: .init(
clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
disabled: true
))
```
### Custom Event Filtering
You can set up custom event filtering during initialization:
```swift
OpenPanel.initialize(options: .init(
clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
filter: { payload in
// Your custom filtering logic here
return true // or false to filter out the event
}
))
```
### Automatic Tracking
The SDK automatically tracks app lifecycle events (`app_opened` and `app_closed`) if `automaticTracking` is set to `true` during initialization:
```swift
OpenPanel.initialize(options: .init(
clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
automaticTracking: true
))
```
## Thread Safety
<Callout>
The OpenPanel SDK is designed to be thread-safe. You can call its methods from any thread without additional synchronization.
