Initiate User

To start using the LikeMinds Feed 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 Feed, allowing for seamless integration and personalized recommendations.

Steps to Initiate User Session

1. Build an InitiateUserRequest object using the InitiateUserRequestBuilder class.

2. Call the initiateUser() function using the instance of the LMFeedClient class.

3. Use the response as per your requirement.

   // Provide user details for initiating the session
   String userName = "user_name_here";
   String userId = "user_id_here";
   String imageUrl = "user_profile_image_url_here";
   
   // Build the request object
   InitiateUserRequest request = (InitiateUserRequestBuilder()
           ..userName(userName)
           ..userId(userId)
           ..imageUrl(imageUrl))
         .build();
   
    // Get the response from calling the function
    final InitiateUserResponse response = await lmFeedClient.initiateUser(request);
   
    // Process the response, as per requirement
    if(response.success){
        // your function to process post liked action
        processInitiateUserSuccess(response);
    }else{
        // your function to process error message
        processError(response.errorMessage);
    }
