StitchAppClient

public protocol StitchAppClient

The fundamental set of methods for communicating with a MongoDB Stitch application. Contains methods for executing Stitch functions and retrieving clients for Stitch services, contains a StitchAuth object to manage the authentication state of the client, and contains a StitchPush object to register the current user for push notifications. An implementation can be instantiated using the Stitch utility class.

Authentication

  • The StitchAuth object representing the authentication state of this client. Includes methods for logging in and logging out.

    Important

    Authentication state can be persisted beyond the lifetime of an application. A StitchAppClient retrieved from the Stitch singleton may or may not be authenticated when first initialized.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var auth: StitchAuth { get }

Push Notifications

  • The push notifications component of the app. This is used for registering the currently signed in user for push notifications.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var push: StitchPush { get }

Services

  • Retrieves the service client for the Stitch service associated with the specified name and factory.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func serviceClient<T>(fromFactory factory: AnyNamedServiceClientFactory<T>, withName serviceName: String) -> T

    Parameters

    fromFactory

    An AnyNamedServiceClientFactory object which contains a NamedServiceClientFactory class which will provide the client for this service. Each available service has a static factory which can be used for this method.
    withName

    The name of the service as defined in the MongoDB Stitch application.

    Return Value

    a service client whose type is determined by the T type parameter of the AnyNamedServiceClientFactory passed in the fromFactory parameter.

  • Retrieves the service client for the Stitch service associated with the specificed factory.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func serviceClient<T>(fromFactory factory: AnyNamedServiceClientFactory<T>) -> T

    Parameters

    fromFactory

    An AnyNamedServiceClientFactory object which contains a NamedServiceClientFactory class which will provide the client for this service. Each available service has a static factory which can be used for this method.

    Return Value

    a service client whose type is determined by the T type parameter of the AnyNamedServiceClientFactory passed in the fromFactory parameter.

  • Retrieves the service client for the Stitch service associated with the service type with the specified factory.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func serviceClient<T>(fromFactory factory: AnyThrowingServiceClientFactory<T>) throws -> T

    Parameters

    fromFactory

    An AnyThrowingServiceClientFactory object which contains a ThrowingServiceClientFactory class which will provide the client for this service. Each available service has a static factory which can be used for this method.

    Return Value

    a service client whose type is determined by the T type parameter of the AnyThrowingServiceClientFactory passed in the fromFactory parameter.

Functions

  • Calls the MongoDB Stitch function with the provided name and arguments, and decodes the result of the function into a Decodable type as specified by the T type parameter.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func callFunction<T: Decodable>(withName name: String, withArgs args: [BsonValue], _ completionHandler: @escaping (StitchResult<T>) -> Void)

    Parameters

    withName

    The name of the Stitch function to be called.
    withArgs

    The BSONArray of arguments to be provided to the function.
    completionHandler

    The completion handler to call when the function call is complete. This handler is executed on a non-main global DispatchQueue. If the operation is successful, the result will contain a T representing the decoded result of the function call.

  • Calls the MongoDB Stitch function with the provided name and arguments, ignoring the result of the function.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func callFunction(withName name: String, withArgs args: [BsonValue], _ completionHandler: @escaping (StitchResult<Void>) -> Void)

    Parameters

    withName

    The name of the Stitch function to be called.
    withArgs

    The BSONArray of arguments to be provided to the function.
    completionHandler

    The completion handler to call when the function call is complete. This handler is executed on a non-main global DispatchQueue.

  • Calls the MongoDB Stitch function with the provided name and arguments, and decodes the result of the function into a Decodable type as specified by the T type parameter. Also accepts a timeout. Use this for functions that may run longer than the client-wide default timeout (15 seconds by default).

    Declaration

    Swift

    func callFunction<T: Decodable>(withName name: String, withArgs args: [BsonValue], withRequestTimeout requestTimeout: TimeInterval, _ completionHandler: @escaping (StitchResult<T>) -> Void)

    Parameters

    withName

    The name of the Stitch function to be called.
    withArgs

    The BSONArray of arguments to be provided to the function.
    withRequestTimeout

    The number of seconds the client should wait for a response from the server before failing with an error.
    completionHandler

    The completion handler to call when the function call is complete. This handler is executed on a non-main global DispatchQueue. If the operation is successful, the result will contain a T representing the decoded result of the function call.

  • Calls the MongoDB Stitch function with the provided name and arguments, ignoring the result of the function. Also accepts a timeout. Use this for functions that may run longer than the client-wide default timeout (15 seconds by default).

    Declaration

    Swift

    func callFunction(withName name: String, withArgs args: [BsonValue], withRequestTimeout requestTimeout: TimeInterval, _ completionHandler: @escaping (StitchResult<Void>) -> Void)

    Parameters

    withName

    The name of the Stitch function to be called.
    withArgs

    The BSONArray of arguments to be provided to the function.
    withRequestTimeout

    The number of seconds the client should wait for a response from the server before failing with an error.
    completionHandler

    The completion handler to call when the function call is complete. This handler is executed on a non-main global DispatchQueue.
