Feedback

A framework to measure an application's usability

---

Feedback allows developers to create their own data points for iOS applications.

Snippets of code are provided below on how to use the framework. However, there is no project located in this repository because Feedback was created while I was interning at State Farm. This is a sample of the markdown file I wrote for the team.

Setting the Data Points

• In viewDidLoad() within your desired ViewController, set the Data Points by adding them to the "main" environment.
  • The "main" environment can be thought of as your default set of data points. However, if your application needs more than one type of feedback, other environments can be created.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    FeedbackEnvironment.add(with: [Emoji.bad, Emoji.ok, Emoji.good])
}

Presenting and Handing the Callbacks

@IBAction func showFeedback(_ sender: UIButton) {
    // 1.
    present()

    // 2.
    _ = FeedbackEnvironment.main.vc?.onSubmit { (choice, text, completion) in
        _ = "Your app is \(String(describing: choice))"
        _ = "The feedback message: \(String(describing: text))"

        completion()
    }

    // 3.
    _ = FeedbackEnvironment.main.vc?.onCancel {
        self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

1. This function presents FeedbackViewController.
2. onSubmit is a Closure that is called when a user "sends" feedback. Three things are available to you at this time.
   
   
   1. choice: The currently selected data point.
   2. text: The text the user has entered in the UITextView.
   3. completion: Performs a segue to the FeedbackCompletionViewController.
      
      
3. onCancel is a Closure that is called when a user "cancels" out of feedback. It is up to you how you want to handle this action.

Creating Custom Data Points

All work must be done in the master branch of Feedback for your changes to persist.

1. Navigate to Feedback/Feedback/Models/DataPoints.swift.
2. Create your enumeration (this must conform to FeedbackChoiceProtocol).

FeedbackChoiceProtocol

public protocol FeedbackChoiceProtocol {
    var image: UIImage? { get }
    var title: String? { get }
}

CustomDataPoint

public enum CustomDataPoint: FeedbackChoiceProtocol {
    // 1.
    case bad
    case good
    case great

    // 2.
    public var title: String? { return nil }

    // 3.
    public var image: UIImage? {

        switch self {
        case .bad:
            return UIImage(named: "bad", in: Bundle(for: FeedbackViewController.self), compatibleWith: nil)
        case .ok:
            return UIImage(named: "good", in: Bundle(for: FeedbackViewController.self), compatibleWith: nil)
        case .good:
            return UIImage(named: "great", in: Bundle(for: FeedbackViewController.self), compatibleWith: nil)
        }
    }
}

1. These are the choices used to measure your application's usability.
2. Note: As of July 27, 2017, setting the title has not been tested and is still needs to be developed. The purpose of title was if you wanted to set a literal character for a data point (e.g. "😊 ").
   • In other words, only set the image property when creating custom data points.
3. You must set an image that will be mapped to each case.
