Custom Events

The PSPDFKit events pipeline can also be used to deliver custom events.

Extend the PDFAnalytics.EventName type with your custom events:

extension PDFAnalyticsEventName {
    static var someCustomAction = PDFAnalyticsEventName(rawValue: "some_custom_action")
}

PSPDF_EXPORT PSPDFAnalyticsEventName const PSPDFAnalyticsEventNameSomeCustomAction; // in *.h
PSPDFAnalyticsEventName const PSPDFAnalyticsEventNameSomeCustomAction = @"some_custom_action"; // in *.m

Then use the PDFAnalytics object to deliver them:

PSPDFKit.SDK.shared.analytics.logEvent(.someCustomAction)

[PSPDFKitGlobal.sharedInstance.analytics logEvent:PSPDFAnalyticsEventNameSomeCustomAction];

The event in the above example will be dispatched to all registered [PDFAnalyticsClient][] instances.
