can you send PrivateMessage by name?

I see how to send by ID, is there a way of sending by name of the recipient?

Code: Select all

    func sendPrivateMessage(recipientID: Int, message: String) {
        smartFox.send(PrivateMessageRequest.request(withMessage:message, recipientId: recipientID) as? IRequest)
    }

Hi,
no, it's by id, which you can obtain from the SFSUser object.
If you have the name you should also have the ID, since both these properties come from the SFSUser object.

Can you assign an ID during connection/log in as long as it is unique? Or are they always assigned by the server? I'm assuming they are always integers as well? Thanks.

Yes, they're auto-assigned.
Can you explain what are you trying to achieve?

Thanks
