Analytics-Swift Localytics
Add Localytics session tracking support to your applications via this plugin for Analytics-Swift
Note that this plugin simply adds session data for Localytics, and events are sent via Cloud Mode.
Adding the dependency
via Xcode
In the Xcode File
menu, click Add Packages
. You'll see a dialog where you can search for Swift packages. In the search field, enter the URL to this repo.
https://github.com/segment-integrations/analytics-swift-localytics
You'll then have the option to pin to a version, or specific branch, as well as which project in your workspace to add it to. Once you've made your selections, click the Add Package
button.
via Package.swift
Open your Package.swift file and add the following do your the dependencies
section:
.package(
name: "Segment",
url: "https://github.com/segment-integrations/analytics-swift-localytics.git",
from: "1.0.0"
),
Using the Plugin in your App
Open the file where you setup and configure the Analytics-Swift library. Add this plugin to the list of imports.
import Segment
import SegmentLocalytics // <-- Add this line
Just under your Analytics-Swift library setup, call analytics.add(plugin: ...)
to add an instance of the plugin to the Analytics timeline.
let analytics = Analytics(configuration: Configuration(writeKey: "<YOUR WRITE KEY>")
.flushAt(3)
.trackApplicationLifecycleEvents(true))
analytics.add(plugin: LocalyticsDestination())
Your events will now be given Localytics session data and start flowing to Localytics via Cloud Mode.

This template is resolved around ExampleDestination
(to be replaced by you).
What does the template provide
Data class for holding settings
To standardize fetching and using settings in your destination, we recommend using a Coable class to store your destination settings. If marked Codable
, it will enable you to retrieve your destination settings in a strongly typed construct.
Settings-related functions
We provide APIs to update your destination settings in update(settings:type:)
.
UpdateType.initial
lets you know if this is the intial or subsequent fetch.
Settings.isDestinationEnabled(key: String)
- check if your destination is enabled
Settings.integrationSettings(forKey: String)
- retrieve a typed destination object
Sample implementation for common destination functions
We have templated common destinations functions like track
, identify
, screen
, group
, alias
that you should modify to fit your vendor SDK implementation. Although these functions do not need to return the ending payload, its good practice to do so (for unit testing purposes).
Transforming events
Often times, destinations need to transform events (eg: change names, modify properties/traits etc.). We have templated an example of transformation in the track(event:)
example. we recommend you use this approach to perform any such transformations. This will make your code more legible plus improve code quality.
Testing functions for primary functions (to be expanded)
We have provided a very bare minimum template for testing the primary destination APIs. We recommend to use this as a starter and build upon it to get test coverage of most scenarios.
