Add new properties to User iOS 3.0

How can I add new properties / attributes to a user that is created. The example code in the documentation does not seem to work or I am having problems following it. Thanks!

Mark,

Refer to the documentation here for a CustomUser class:
http://devcenter.kinvey.com/ios-v3.0/guides/users#CustomAttributesCustomUserObject


Lets say, you wanted to add a ‘city’ field to as well. Here is what you would do:

class CustomUser: User {

    var address: String?
    var city: String?

    override func mapping(map: Map) {
        super.mapping(map)

        address <- map["address"]
        city <- map["city"]
    }

}

// Set the userType to “CustomUser”
Kinvey.sharedClient.userType = CustomUser.self

// Then you would set the variables appropriately
 user2.address = “2011 Apt B"
 user2.city = “Chicago”

// Then save it
user2.save()

// You should see both the fields added to the user entity in “Users” collection

Thanks Pranav..Now it is working fine.

 

Kannan,

Take a look at this code, it should help.

 

User.signup(username: “username", password: “password", client: Kinvey.sharedClient) { user, error in
       
            if let _ = user {
                var user2: CustomUser?
                user2 = (user as! CustomUser)
                user2?.address = “Boston"
                user2!.save()
                       
                } else {
                        //do something!
                }
        }
