Remote Configs​

GameAnalytics offers the option to setup remote configs in your dashboard that can be changed on the whim without needing to release a new version of the game. The remote configs are a custom set of key-pair values.

class MyOnRemoteConfigsListener : public IRemoteConfigsListener
{
public:
    MyOnRemoteConfigsListener() {}
    void onRemoteConfigsUpdated();
};

void MyOnRemoteConfigsListener::onRemoteConfigsUpdated()
{
    // add your code here
}

// in your function
auto myOnRemoteConfigsListener = std::make_shared<MyOnRemoteConfigsListener>();
gameanalytics::GameAnalytics::addRemoteConfigsListener(myOnRemoteConfigsListener);

To manually check if Remote Configs are ready (if they have been populated with values from the server) you can use the following method:

if(gameanalytics::GameAnalytics::isRemoteConfigsReady())
{
    // the remote configs is ready, add your code here
}

After the remote configs have been populated you can retrieve their values by using the following function:

// Without custom default value (using normal default value)
std::string value = gameanalytics::GameAnalytics::getRemoteConfigsValueAsString("key");
// With custom default value
std::string valueWithCustomDefaultValue = gameanalytics::GameAnalytics::getRemoteConfigsValueAsString("key", "myDefaultValue");
caution

If the specified key is not found in the Remote Configs it will return the default value of either “normal” or “custom” value.

A/B Testing​

After configuring an A/B test in your GameAnalytics dashboard you can retrive the testing ids with the following methods:

// A/B testing id
auto abTestingId = gameanalytics::GameAnalytics.getABTestingId();

// A/B testing variant id
auto abTestingVariantId = gameanalytics::GameAnalytics.getABTestingVariantId();
info

Remember that the A/B testing ids are first available when the Remote Configs are ready.
