Initialization

To create a VWO Client instance, you need to initialize the VWO FME Flutter SDK. This client instance serves as the core interface for conducting feature management and experimentation(A/B and personalization) within your application.

Usage

import 'package:vwo_fme_flutter_sdk/vwo/models/vwo_init_options.dart';
import 'package:vwo_fme_flutter_sdk/vwo/models/vwo_context.dart';
import 'package:vwo_fme_flutter_sdk/vwo/models/get_flag.dart';
import 'package:vwo_fme_flutter_sdk/vwo.dart';

// Create a VWOOptions object.
final vwoOptions = VWOInitOptions(
  sdkKey: 'your-sdk-key',
  accountId: 12345
);

// Initiliaze the SDK
VWO? vwoClient = await VWO.init(initOptions);

The init() method is called with the sdkKeyand accountId. It initializes and returns a VWO Client ObjectvwoClient, which can be used to perform feature
This client object allows you to run experiments, track events, and enable/disable feature flags.

Parameter Definitions

ParameterTypeDescription
accountId
Required
NumberYour VWO application's Account ID.
sdkKey
Required
StringA unique environment key is provided to you inside the Websites & Apps section in the VWO application, under Default Project.
pollInterval
Optional
NumberTime (in milliseconds) at which VWO should check with the server for any updates to the feature flag or rules in the VWO Dashboard. Useful to keep your VWO Client instance up-to-date with any changes made in the VWO Application. For more details, please check -Polling
logger
Optional
ObjectAn optional logger object that defines the logging behavior. For more details, please check - Logger
integrations
Optional
ObjectA callback function that receives data which can be pushed to any external tool that you need to integrate with. For more details, please check - Integrations

Poll Interval (Keeping VWO client up-to-date)

When you initialize the vwoClient on your mobile, it pulls the latest configurations you've done in the VWO application.
If/when you make any changes to the feature flags or rules within VWO after the vwoClient has been initialized on your mobile, there needs to be some way to update your vwoClient with the latest settings from VWO. This can be done via polling.

The poll interval is an optional parameter that allows the SDK to automatically fetch and update settings from the VWO server at specified intervals. Setting this parameter ensures your application always uses the latest configuration.

// Create a VWOOptions object.
final vwoOptions = VWOInitOptions(
  sdkKey: 'your-sdk-key',
  accountId: 12345,
  pollInterval: 600000  // in milliseconds
);

// Initiliaze the SDK
VWO? vwoClient = await VWO.init(initOptions);

Logger

VWO by default logs all ERROR level messages to your mobile console. To gain more control over VWO's logging behavior, you can use the logger parameter in the init configuration.

// Create a VWOOptions object.
final vwoOptions = VWOInitOptions(
  sdkKey: 'your-sdk-key',
  accountId: 12345,
  logger: {
    "level": "DEBUG",
  }
);

// Initiliaze the SDK
VWO? vwoClient = await VWO.init(initOptions);

Integrations

VWO FME SDKs provide seamless integration with third-party tools like analytics platforms, monitoring services, customer data platforms (CDPs), and messaging systems. This is achieved through a simple yet powerful callback mechanism that receives VWO-specific properties and can forward them to any third-party tool of your choice.

// Create a VWOOptions object.
final vwoOptions = VWOInitOptions(
  sdkKey: 'your-sdk-key',
  accountId: 12345,
  integrationCallback: (Map<String, dynamic> properties) {
    print('VWO: Integration callback received: $properties');
  }
);

// Initiliaze the SDK
VWO? vwoClient = await VWO.init(initOptions);
