Global Notifications

VideoKitCore offers a variety of global notifications sent through NSNotification that give you the flexibility to react on certain events.

.VKSessionStateChanged​

This notification is fired after the session state changed. This could be the case after an authentication attempt or logout.

Register an observer for session state changes:

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector:  #selector(self.stateChanged(_:)), name: .VKAccountStateChanged, object: nil)

React on changed states:

func stateChanged(_ notification: NSNotification? = nil) {
    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        if let sessionData = notification?.userInfo?["sessionData"] as? [String: Any] {
            print(sessionData)
        }
        
        if VKSession.current.state == .connected {
            // self.sessionConnected()
        }
        else if VKSession.current.state == .disconnected {
            // self.sessionDisconnected()
        }
        else if VKSession.current.state == .error {
            // self.sessionError()
        }
        else if VKSession.current.state == .connecting {
            // self.sessionConnecting()
        }
    }
}

.VKVideoUploadsUpdated​

Triggered after video uploading has made some progress (upload started, progress, or finished). Userinfo is empty.

You can access all uploads through VKUploads.shared.uploads.

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector:  #selector(self.handleVideoUploadsUpdate(_:)), name: .VKVideoUploadsUpdated, object: nil)
@objc func handleVideoUploadsUpdate(notification: Notification) {
    let info = VKVideoUploads.shared.uploads.map({ upload in
        return "\(upload.progress) \(upload.isCompressed)"
    })
    
    print("Upload progress: \(info)")
}

Use this notification if your app can have multiple uploads at the same time and you want to handle their progress simultaneously.

.VKVideoUploadProgress​

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: .VKVideoUploadProgress, object: self, queue: nil) { [weak self] (notification) in

        print(upload.progress)
    }
}
