Getting Started
These are the minimum required steps to integrate the Chabok SDK in your Web app. We assume that you are using Visual Studio Code for your Web development.
Installation
Add CDN link to our SDK in your page's html:
<script defer src="https://cdn.chabok.io/web.js"></script>
Optional
Chabok SDK make use of javascript's promises. if you're targeting legacy browsers (IE etc.) and did not provide your own polyfill, you might want to include following script to polyfill window.Promise
in your clients' browser.
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/promise-polyfill@8/dist/polyfill.min.js"></script>
Or directly import using a bundler like Webpack:
import 'promise-polyfill/src/polyfill';
Initialization
Initialize Chabok SDK:
const Chabok = chabok || window.chabok;
// Method 1: Using async functions
async function init() {
const sdk = new Chabok();
const result = await sdk.init('CLIENT_ID', 'CLIENT_SECRET');
if (result) {
// continue
}
}
// Method 2: Using promises
const sdk = new Chabok();
sdk
.init('CLIENT_ID', 'CLIENT_SECRET')
.then(() => {
// continue
})
const Chabok = chabok || window.chabok;
// Method 1: Using async functions
async function init(): void {
const sdk = new Chabok();
const result: boolean = await sdk.init('CLIENT_ID', 'CLIENT_SECRET');
if (result) {
// continue
}
}
// Method 2: Using promises
const sdk = new Chabok();
sdk
.init('CLIENT_ID', 'CLIENT_SECRET')
.then(() => {
// continue
})
Note:
CallingChabok.init()
is required for using Chabok SDK.
Note:
The application credentials (CLIENT_ID
andCLIENT_SECRET
) are available in your dashboard space under app info.
Many methods in Chabok SDK return values using promises. Its up to you to whether use promises or async functions to handle response from them. We'll be using async functions to demonstrate examples from now on.
Place your CLIENT_ID
and CLIENT_SECRET
from your dashboard into the init method.
Usage
Set default tracker:
You can still understand the installation source in your campaign even if the stores do not support Referrer. The process is as follows:
- Create new tracker in your dashboard.
- Enter the tracker ID in the following method.
sdk.setDefaultTracker('DEFAULT_TRACKER_ID');
Note:
Default tracker should be called beforesdk.init()
.
User
Chabok USER_ID
is a unique ID that can be assigned to each user to identify him/her.
For example, a unique ID could be a generated UUID, a mobile number, etc.
Ideally, you should assign the unique ID to users when signing up, logging in, or on pages where their identity is known.
Login
After initializing Chabok, use the login
method to identify your users in the system to monitor all behaviors and attributes with user identity.
We recommend that you to use Chabok's login on otp pages.
When a user logs in, all the stored information is associated with the identified user.
To login user in the Chabok service use login
method:
sdk.user().login('USER_ID');
Example
When verifying user OTP codes, we should login to the Chabok platform to identify user by user ID
async function loginUser(userId) {
const result = await sdk.user().login(userId);
if (result) {
console.log(`userid ${userId} logged in.`);
}
}
loginUser('989100360500');
async function loginUser(userId: string) {
const result: boolean = await sdk.user().login(userId);
if (result) {
console.log(`userid ${userId} logged in.`);
}
}
loginUser('989100360500');
Logout
By calling the following method, even if the user is logged out of his/her account, you can still have the user in your system with a guest ID and interact with the user as usual.
When the user logs out of your app, call the Chabok Logout method to avoid attaching future attributes, events, and other data to this user until the login method is called again.
logout
method can be used to log out a user from Chabok:
sdk.user().logout();
Check user is logged in:
To check a user is logged in Chabok you can use the following method.
const isLoggedIn = sdk.user().isLoggedIn();
Tip:
In case you have implemented Chabok in your application, you can use the following method to check and login users who have already logged into your system but not into Chabok.
if (!sdk.user().isLoggedIn()) {
sdk.user().login('USER_ID');
}
Analytics
Event
The events feature allows you to track any other user interactions that are vital to your business. Additionally, each custom event can have attributes such as amount, quantity, price, category, etc. This data will allow you to personalize campaigns.
For tracking an event
the process is as follows:
-
Create a new event in your dashboard.
-
Copy the ID and use it in
sendEvent
method.
To set an analytics event use sendEvent
method:
Note:
Passing attributes tosendEvent
method is optional.
sdk.analytics().sendEvent('ID', payload);
Example
For example we want to track add to cart event.
- Create add-to-cart event in your dashboard.
- Create your event attributes.
- Then pass the attributes with the given ID to the
event
method.
Note:
Event attributes could be passed asObject
s.
async function sendEvent(body) {
const result = await sdk.analytics().sendEvent('ID', body);
if (result) {
console.log('Event sent successfully');
}
}
const payload = {
product_id: '123456',
name: 'T-shirt',
quantity: 10,
category: 'Clothes',
price: 100.25,
currency: 'USD',
chosen_colors: ['Black', 'Blue', 'White'],
discounted: true,
discount_percent: 15,
};
sendEvent(payload);
async function sendEvent(body: Record<string, any>) {
const result: boolean = await sdk.analytics().event('ID', body);
if (result) {
console.log('Event sent successfully');
}
}
const payload = {
product_id: '123456',
name: 'T-shirt',
quantity: 10,
category: 'Clothes',
price: 100.25,
currency: 'USD',
chosen_colors: ['Black', 'Blue', 'White'],
discounted: true,
discount_percent: 15,
};
sendEvent(payload);
Attributes
The user attributes you collect can give you a comprehensive picture of who your users are, where they're from, what they do, and a whole lot more, depending on your business. An attribute is something like favorites, user preferences, or etc. You can segment users based on their contextual relevance and personalize marketing campaigns sent through all channels of engagement with such granular user data.
To set user attributes in the Chabok service use setAttribute
method:
Note:
Attributes could be passed asObject
s.
sdk.user().setAttribute('key', Object);
Example
For example we want to store attributes of a stock trader.
async function setUserAttribute(body) {
const result = await sdk.user().setAttribute('key', body);
if (result) {
console.log('Attribute stored');
}
}
const payload = {
trades_everyday: true,
favorite_Stocks: ['Tesla','Facebook'],
is_vip: true,
first_trade_date: '18-9-2020',
last_trade_date: '5-8-2021',
has_inviter: true,
inviter_id: 'smooke9',
}
setUserAttribute(payload);
async function setUserAttribute(body: Record<string, any>) {
const result: boolean = await sdk.user().setAttribute('key', body);
if (result) {
console.log('Attribute stored');
}
}
const payload = {
trades_everyday: true,
favorite_Stocks: ['Tesla','Facebook'],
is_vip: true,
first_trade_date: '18-9-2020',
last_trade_date: '5-8-2021',
has_inviter: true,
inviter_id: 'smooke9',
}
setUserAttribute(payload);
Profile
Use the setProfile
method to enter user information such as first name, last name, gender, etc.
To set user's profile information in the Chabok service use setProfile
method:
const profile = {
email: 'dev.chabok@gmail.com',
mobile: '989191234567',
name: 'NAME',
family: 'FAMILY',
birthDate: 'BIRTH_DATE', //e.g. 29-02-1372
gender: 0, // 0 for male and 1 for female
timeZone: '+3:30',
}
sdk.user().setProfile(profile);
Note:
Profile fields are optional. you don't have to pass all of them at once.
Location
Use the setLocation
method to enter user's location.
To set user's location
use setLocation
method:
sdk.user().setLocation(LATITUDE, LONGITUDE);
