I know this a basic question, but I can't work out how to log a custom event with custom parameters using facebook analytics. For example, I would like to log the following:
Please see the below code (which does not work):
let dict = AppEvent.ParametersDictionary(AppEventParameterName.Custom("title), AppEventParameterName.Custom("artist"))
AppEvent.ViewedContent(contentType: "test", contentId: "test", extraParameters: dict)
I get the error message:
"Cannot invoke value of type 'ParametersDictionary.Type' (aka 'Dictionary.Type') with argument list '(AppEventParameterName, AppEventParameterName)"
I have also tried:
let dict = AppEvent.ParametersDictionary(AppEventParameterName.Custom("title"), "test")
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As mentioned in the documentation, the dictionary needs to be of type [AppEventParameterName : AppEventParameterValueType]
.
You can construct the dictionary like:
[.Custom["Song Played]: "Sunday Morning", .Custom["Artist"]: "Maroon 5"]
Then just input it into the AppEventsLogger log call like this:
AppEventsLogger.log("trackedNewSong", parameters: dictionary, valueToSum: nil, accessToken: nil)
, where "trackedNewSong"
would be the event you are logging and the parameters you are attaching to it are embedded in the dictionary.
Hope this helps!
