Initiate User

To start using the LikeMinds Chat and enable personalized experiences for your users, you need to initiate them within the system. This process associates a user in your application with a user in the LikeMinds Chat, allowing for seamless integration and real-time messaging in your application.

Steps to initiate a User

1. Create an InitiateUserRequest object using user credentials.
2. Call the initiateUser() function using the instance of the LMChatClient class.
3. Use the response (LMResponse<InitiateUserResponse>) as per your requirement.

InitiateUserRequest request = (InitiateUserRequestBuilder()
                    ..userName("ENTER_USER_NAME")
                    ..userId("ENTER_USER_ID"))
                    .build();

final LMResponse<InitiateUserResponse> response = await lmChatClient.initiateUser(request);

if (response.success) {
  // your function to process the response data
  processResponse(response);
} else {
  // your function to process error message
  processError(response);
}

tip

We suggest that you use the unique ID from your database for the user so that you do not have to save the one we generate.
