PSPDFUsernameHelper

Objective-C


@interface PSPDFUsernameHelper : NSObject

Swift

class UsernameHelper : NSObject

A helper that can be used to present a dialog, allowing the user to specify the annotation author name.

  • Access or set the default annotation username.

    This property uses NSUserDefaults for storage (the PSPDFDocumentDefaultAnnotationUsernameKey key).

    The default will be inferred based on the device name and some internal logic. This is also the value that will be used if the property is reset by setting nil.

    Note

    The username set here will be used as the default value of PSPDFDocument.defaultAnnotationUsername for newly created documents. Updating this value will not update the value on existing documents.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (class, nonatomic, assign, unsafe_unretained, readwrite,
          null_resettable) NSString *defaultAnnotationUsername;

    Swift

    class var defaultAnnotationUsername: String! { get set }

  • Checks for PSPDFDocumentDefaultAnnotationUsernameKey.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (class, nonatomic, readonly) BOOL isDefaultAnnotationUserNameSet;

    Swift

    class var isDefaultAnnotationUserNameSet: Bool { get }

  • Asks for the default new annotation username.

    This will only display UI if enabled in the controller configuration and if the username is not already set.

    Use this call if you’re presenting a custom annotation creation UI (e.g., a custom toolbar). Present your UI / toolbar inside the completion block. The behavior above ensures that the UI action is not performed if the dialog is canceled.

    Note

    The completionBlock will not be called if the dialog is already visible or if the user cancels it without confirming.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    + (void)askForDefaultAnnotationUsernameIfNeeded:
            (nonnull PSPDFViewController *)pdfViewController
                                completionBlock:
                                    (nonnull void (^)(NSString *_Nonnull))
                                        completionBlock;

    Swift

    class func ask(forDefaultAnnotationUsernameIfNeeded pdfViewController: PSPDFViewController, completionBlock: @escaping (String) -> Void)

    Parameters

    pdfViewController

    The view controller to use as the presenting view controller.
    completionBlock

    Called when the user confirms the username and dismisses the dialog.

  • Asks for a new default username on the provided view controller.

    Note

    The completionBlock will not be called if the dialog is already visible or if the user cancels it without confirming.
