ImpressionKit

This is a user behavior tracking (UBT) tool to analyze impression events for UIView (exposure of UIView) in iOS.

How it works: Hook the didMoveToWindow method of a UIView by SwiftHook, periodically check the view is on the screen or not.

How to use ImpressionKit

Main APIs

It's quite simple.

// UIKit

UIView().detectImpression { (view, state) in
    if state.isImpressed {
        print("This view is impressed to users.")
    }
}

// SwiftUI

Color.red.detectImpression { state in
    if state.isImpressed {
        print("This view is impressed to users.")
    }
}

Use ImpressionGroup for UICollectionView, UITableView, List or other reusable view cases.

// UIKit

var group = ImpressionGroup.init {(_, index: IndexPath, view, state) in
    if state.isImpressed {
        print("impressed index: \(index.row)")
    }
}

...

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
    let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath) as! Cell
    self.group.bind(view: cell, index: indexPath)
    return cell
}

// SwiftUI

var group = ImpressionGroup.init { (_, index: Int, _, state) in
    if state.isImpressed {
        print("impressed index: \(index)")
    }
}

var body: some View {
    List(0 ..< 100) { index in
        CellView(index: index)
            .frame(height: 100)
            .detectImpression(group: group, index: index)
    }
}

More APIs

Modify the detection (scan) interval (in seconds). Smaller detectionInterval means higher accuracy and higher CPU consumption.

UIView.detectionInterval = 0.1  // apply to all views
UIView().detectionInterval = 0.1    // apply to the specific view. `UIView.detectionInterval` will be used if it's nil.
ImpressionGroup().detectionInterval = 0.1   // apply to the group. `UIView.detectionInterval` will be used if it's nil.

Modify the threshold (seconds) for the duration of a view on the screen. If the view's duration on the screen exceeds this threshold, it may trigger an impression.

UIView.durationThreshold = 2  // apply to all views
UIView().durationThreshold = 2    // apply to the specific view. `UIView.durationThreshold` will be used if it's nil.
ImpressionGroup().durationThreshold = 2   // apply to the group. `UIView.durationThreshold` will be used if it's nil.

Modify the threshold (from 0 to 1) for the area ratio of the view on the screen. If the percentage of the view's area on the screen exceeds this threshold, it may trigger an impression.

UIView.areaRatioThreshold = 0.4  // apply to all views
UIView().areaRatioThreshold = 0.4    // apply to the specific view. `UIView.areaRatioThreshold` will be used if it's nil.
ImpressionGroup().areaRatioThreshold = 0.4   // apply to the group. `UIView.areaRatioThreshold` will be used if it's nil.

Modify the threshold (from 0 to 1) for the view opacity. If the view's opacity exceeds this threshold, it may trigger an impression.

UIView.alphaThreshold = 0.4  // apply to all views
UIView().alphaThreshold = 0.4    // apply to the specific view. `UIView.alphaThreshold` will be used if it's nil.
ImpressionGroup().alphaThreshold = 0.4   // apply to the group. `UIView.alphaThreshold` will be used if it's nil.

Retrigger the impression event in some situations.

// Retrigger the impression event when a view left from the screen (The UIViewController (page) is still here, Just the view is out of the screen).
public static let leftScreen = Redetect(rawValue: 1 << 0)

// Retrigger the impression event when the UIViewController of the view disappear.
public static let viewControllerDidDisappear = Redetect(rawValue: 1 << 1)

// Retrigger the impression event when the App did enter background.
public static let didEnterBackground = Redetect(rawValue: 1 << 2)

// Retrigger the impression event when the App will resign active.
public static let willResignActive = Redetect(rawValue: 1 << 3)

UIView.redetectOptions = [.leftScreen, .viewControllerDidDisappear, .didEnterBackground, .willResignActive]  // apply to all views
UIView().redetectOptions = [.leftScreen, .viewControllerDidDisappear, .didEnterBackground, .willResignActive]    // apply to the specific view. `UIView.redetectOptions` will be used if it's nil.
ImpressionGroup().redetectOptions = [.leftScreen, .viewControllerDidDisappear, .didEnterBackground, .willResignActive]   // apply to the group. `UIView.redetectOptions` will be used if it's nil.

How to integrate ImpressionKit

ImpressionKit can be integrated by cocoapods.

pod 'ImpressionKit'

Or use Swift Package Manager. SPM is supported from 3.1.0.
