sendView

The sendView() method records a screen view on your mobile app. The screen view is similar to the page view on a website.

Syntax

Call sendView(view:) when the screen appears, for example from the .onAppear modifier on a View, or from viewDidAppear in a UIViewController.

struct WelcomeView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Welcome")
            .onAppear {
                PiwikTracker.sharedInstance()?.sendView(view: "view")
            }
    }
}

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)
    PiwikTracker.sharedInstance()?.sendView(view: "view")
}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    [[PiwikTracker sharedInstance] sendView:@"view"];
}

Parameters

view string, required - The name of the screen to track. Example: Welcome.

Examples

Use .onAppear for a View named Welcome:

struct WelcomeView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Welcome")
            .onAppear {
                PiwikTracker.sharedInstance()?.sendView(view: "Welcome")
            }
    }
}

From viewDidAppear in a view controller:

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)
    PiwikTracker.sharedInstance()?.sendView(view: "Welcome")
}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    [[PiwikTracker sharedInstance] sendView:@"Welcome"];
}

Tip: If you track many screens, define a small View modifier helper. See Advanced usage > Using the SDK with SwiftUI.

Notes

The SDK builds a synthetic URL for each screen view: http://{appName}/{path}, where appName comes from your app bundle (display name, or bundle name if missing), with spaces removed. When isPrefixingEnabled is true (the default), screen is inserted first, then your view name, for example http://MyApp/screen/Welcome.
