Silent Mode Guide

Configure which in-app notifications the StreamLayer iOS SDK displays, or disable all notifications with Silent Mode.

The StreamLayer SDK supports flexible notification configuration through SLRNotificationsMode. You can enable or disable specific notification types individually, or suppress all notifications at once using Silent Mode.

Notification Types

SLRNotificationsMode is an OptionSet, so you can combine types as needed:

/// StreamLayer SDK support different notification modes for different modules.
/// You can combine/disable/enable notifications as you want.
public struct SLRNotificationsMode: OptionSet {
  public let rawValue: Int

  public init(rawValue: Int) {
    self.rawValue = rawValue
  }

  /// Chat notifications
  static let messaging = SLRNotificationsMode(rawValue: 1)

  /// Notifications with promotions
  static let promotion = SLRNotificationsMode(rawValue: 1 << 1)

  /// Notifications about friends online
  static let arrival = SLRNotificationsMode(rawValue: 1 << 2)

  /// Twitter module notifications
  static let twitter = SLRNotificationsMode(rawValue: 1 << 3)


  /// Notifications from voting/trivias modules
  static let vote = SLRNotificationsMode(rawValue: 1 << 4)

  /// Enabling all notifications. It's a default mode
  static let all: SLRNotificationsMode = [.messaging,
                                          .promotion,
                                          .arrival,
                                          .twitter,
                                          .vote
                                          ]

  /// All notifications are disabled
  static let silent: SLRNotificationsMode = []

}

Enable Silent Mode

You can enable Silent Mode in two ways.

Option 1: Set the notification mode directly

StreamLayer.config.noticationMode = SLRNotificationsMode.silent

Option 2: Use the built-in silent configuration

The SDK provides StreamLayerSilentModeConfig, a pre-built configuration that disables all notifications and hides social features:

public struct StreamLayerSilentModeConfig: StreamLayerConfig {

  public init() {}

  public var isAlwaysOpened: Bool = false
  public var phoneContactsSyncEnabled: Bool = true
  public var whoIsWatchingEnabled: Bool = false
  public var isUserProfileOverlayHidden: Bool = true
  public var notificationsMode: SLRNotificationsMode = .silent

  public var appStyle: SLRStyle = .blue {
    didSet {
      applyStyle()
    }
  }
}

Apply it with:

StreamLayer.config = StreamLayerSilentModeConfig()
