Initiate User

To start using the LikeMinds Feed and enable personalized experiences for your users, you need to initate them within the system. This process associates a user in your application with a user in the LikeMinds Feed, allowing for seamless integration and personalized recommendations.

Steps to Initiate an User

1. Use the initiateUser() function provided by the lmFeedClient object created earlier.
2. Create an instance of InitiateUserRequest, as shown in the snippet and pass it to the above method.
3. Use the response as per your requirement

try {
  const initiateUserRequest = InitiateUserRequest.builder()
    .setUserName("ENTER_USER_NAME")
    .setUUID("ENTER_UUID")
    .setApiKey("ENTER_API_KEY")
    .setImageUrl("ENTER_USER_PROFILE_IMAGE_URL")
    .setIsGuest("ENTER_IS_GUEST")
    .build();
  const response = await lmFeedClient.initiateUser(initiateUserRequest);
  // Use the response as per your requirement.
} catch (error) {
  // Use the error as per your requirement.
}

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.
