API Reference

This document lists the public APIs available in the Messaging extension for implementing content card with UI.

getContentCardsUI

The getContentCardsUI method retrieves an array of ContentCardUI objects for the provided surface. These ContentCardUI objects provide the user interface for templated content cards to your application.

Parameters

surface - The Surface for which the content cards should be retrieved.
customizer - An optional ContentCardCustomizing object to customize the appearance of the content card template. If you do not need to customize the appearance of the content card template, this parameter can be omitted.
listener - An optional ContentCardUIEventListening object to listen to UI events from the content card. If you do not need to listen to UI events from the content card, this parameter can be omitted.
completion - A completion handler that is called with a Result containing either:
- success - An array of ContentCardUI objects representing the content cards to be displayed.
- failure - An Error object indicating the reason for the failure, if any.

data-variant=info

data-slots=text

Calling this API will not download content cards from Adobe Journey Optimizer; it will only retrieve the content cards that are already downloaded and cached by the Messaging extension. You must call the updatePropositionsForSurfaces API with the desired surfaces prior to calling this API.

Syntax

              data-slots=heading, code

              data-repeat=1

              Swift
            
              public static func getContentCardsUI(for surface: Surface,
                                     customizer: ContentCardCustomizing? = nil,
                                     listener: ContentCardUIEventListening? = nil,
                                     _ completion: @escaping (Result<[ContentCardUI], Error>) -> Void)

Example

              data-slots=heading, code

              data-repeat=1

              Swift
            
              // Download the content cards for homepage surface using Messaging extension
let homePageSurface = Surface(path: "homepage")
Messaging.updatePropositionsForSurfaces([homePageSurface])

// Get the content card UI for the homepage surface
Messaging.getContentCardsUI(for: homePageSurface) { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let contentCards):
        // Use the contentCards array to display UI for templated content cards in your application
    case .failure(let error):
        // Handle the error
    }
}
