Initialize Gameball Player Profile

Show your players's profile including all details and progress on your Flutter app.

Showing the GameBall widget on your mobile application is slightly different than showing it on the website. You have two options; first, if you want to design your customer interface, you will use our set of REST APIs. To know more information, you can follow this guide. The other option as this section elaborates, is through using our Flutter SDK.

Using the SDK, you can open the Gameball player profile from a button in your app, programmatically when someone does something, or from a persistent button that sits over your app’s UI.

When you trigger the Gameball player profile, your player is presented with a home screen. This is configurable inside Gameball to change how it looks and what’s presented.

From there, your player can check his progress across different Gameball programs as per your configurations.

Gameball’s views are accessible through the code below. You just need to use it on any button action.

// If you want to create/Update Player just create 
//Send with from string then convert it to json or create a json and sent it directly

let playerAttributesString =  '''
{
  "playerUniqueId": <PLAYER_ID>,
  "mobile": "+1234567",
  "email": "[e-mail]",
  "playerAttributes": {
    "displayName": "Jon Snow",
  },
  "referrerCode": null,
  "levelOrder": null
}
''';

 final Map<String, dynamic> playerData = jsonDecode(playerDataString);

     apiKey: <YOUR_API_KEY>,
     playerUniqueId: <YOUR_PLAYER_UNIQUE_ID>,
     lang: 'en',
     playerAttributes: playerData ,
     platform: <YOUR_PLATFORM>,
     shop: <YOUR_SHOP>
   );
 

// In your widget just path thr context for the sdk like 
 gameball.openGameballView(context);
   
   
   

Once the APIKey and playerUniqueId have been registered, Gameball views can be made visible to the player.

The below is description of Initialization params

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
APIKey	string	Yes	Client API key
playerUniqueId	string	Yes	Unique identifier for the player in your database. Could be database ID, random string, email or anything that uniquely identifies the player.
lang	string	No	Your platform language preference to view Gameball Widget with. Note: The language provided should be as per configured languages in your account. Example: "en", "fr".
playerAttributes	string	No	Your new player
platform	string	No	Your platform
shop	string	No	Your Shop

Everytime the Gameball View is initialized with a new PlayerUniqueId , the player profile is created or updated at Gameball side. You may consider enriching your Gameball's player profile with attributes that are not avialable to the UI by using server side Create\Update Player API

Choose an Unchangeable Player Unique ID

Gameball user profile gets created using the playerUniqueId. It is highly recommended to have the unique ID as an identifier that would NEVER be changed. If this unique ID changes for a given player, you risk losing all original data for that player and hence losing their points and rewards on Gameball. Accordingly, it is NOT recommended to use email address or mobile number as the unique ID as both can be changed by the user at anytime.
