Authentication

Feddy is anonymous-first. Once you call Feddy.configure(...), every submission and vote is attributed to a per-install anonymous token (e.g. anon_a1b2c3d4). That works fine for apps without sign-in.

If your app does have accounts, call Feddy.identify(...) after sign-in and Feddy reconciles previous anonymous activity to the real user ID — nothing is lost.

Identify after sign-in

Call identify(...) once your app knows who the user is. Like other writes, it's synchronous, fire-and-forget, and never throws.

Feddy.identify(userId: "user_abc")

Feddy.identify(
    userId: "user_abc",
    email: "alice@example.com"
)

Feddy.identify(
    userId: "user_abc",
    email: "alice@example.com",
    displayName: "Alice Chen",
    avatarURL: URL(string: "https://example.com/avatar.jpg")
)

Only userId is required. email, displayName, and avatarURL are optional — pass them as you collect them.

Anonymous reconciliation

If a user submits feedback before signing in, then signs in later, the flow looks like this:

Feddy.configure(apiKey: "fed_xxxxxxxxxxxx")
Feddy.submitRequest(title: "Add dark mode")
// Attributed to anon_a1b2c3d4

Feddy.identify(userId: "user_abc", email: "alice@example.com")
// Server links anon_a1b2c3d4 → user_abc

Feddy.submitRequest(title: "Allow custom themes")
// Attributed directly to user_abc

Logout

Clear the configured client and any cached identity when the user signs out:

Feddy.logout()

After logout(), subsequent writes go back to a fresh anonymous token until you call configure(...) and identify(...) again.
