RLMUser

Objective-C

@interface RLMUser : NSObject

Swift

class RLMUser : NSObject

A RLMUser instance represents a single Realm App user account.

A user may have one or more credentials associated with it. These credentials uniquely identify the user to the authentication provider, and are used to sign into a MongoDB Realm user account.

Note that user objects are only vended out via SDK APIs, and cannot be directly initialized. User objects can be accessed from any thread.

Sessions

Custom Data

  • The custom data of the user. This is configured in your MongoDB Realm App.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, readonly) NS_REFINED_FOR_SWIFT NSDictionary *customData;
    Show on GitHub

  • Refresh a user’s custom data. This will, in effect, refresh the user’s auth session.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)refreshCustomDataWithCompletion:
    (nonnull RLMUserCustomDataBlock)completion;

    Swift

    func refreshCustomData(completion: @escaping RLMUserCustomDataBlock)

  • Links the currently authenticated user with a new identity, where the identity is defined by the credential specified as a parameter. This will only be successful if this RLMUser is the currently authenticated with the client from which it was created. On success a new user will be returned with the new linked credentials.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)linkUserWithCredentials:(nonnull RLMCredentials *)credentials
                     completion:(nonnull RLMOptionalUserBlock)completion;

    Parameters

    credentials

    The RLMCredentials used to link the user to a new identity.
    completion

    The completion handler to call when the linking is complete. If the operation is successful, the result will contain a new RLMUser object representing the currently logged in user.

  • Removes the user

    This logs out and destroys the session related to this user. The completion block will return an error if the user is not found or is already removed.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)removeWithCompletion:(nonnull RLMUserOptionalErrorBlock)completion;

    Swift

    func remove(completion: @escaping RLMUserOptionalErrorBlock)

    Parameters

    completion

    A callback invoked on completion

  • Logs out the current user

    The users state will be set to Removed is they are an anonymous user or LoggedOut if they are authenticated by an email / password or third party auth clients If the logout request fails, this method will still clear local authentication state.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)logOutWithCompletion:(nonnull RLMUserOptionalErrorBlock)completion;

    Swift

    func logOut(completion: @escaping RLMUserOptionalErrorBlock)

    Parameters
