VolatileData Module | Modules |Tealium Developer Docs

Usage

The VolatileData module allows data variables to be stored in main memory (RAM). Data is stored and added to all dispatches/tracking calls until the app is restarted.

Usage of this module is mandatory. If you do not implement it, vital variables become missing from tracking calls.

The following platforms are supported:

iOS
tvOS
watchOS
macOS

Install

Install the VolatileData module with CocoaPods or Carthage.

CocoaPods

To install the VolatileData module with CocoaPods, add the following pod to your Podfile:

pod 'tealium-swift/TealiumVolatileData'

The framework is auto-instantiated. It has a dependency on the TealiumCore pod. Learn more about CocoaPods installation for iOS.

Carthage

To install the VolatileData module with Carthage, following these steps:

Go to the app target’s General configuration page in Xcode.
Add the following framework to the Embedded Binaries section:
```
TealiumVolatileData.framework
```
To store volatile data through the VolatileData API, add the following required import statement to your project:
```
import TealiumVolatileData
```

The framework is auto-instantiated. It has a dependency on TealiumCore. No additional import statements are necessary. Learn more about Carthage installation for iOS.
