GuestChat

Demo App using LooponKit and ChatWow to provide a chat session for hotel guests.

---

This project is meant for Loopon partners who are embedding support for Loopon Chat into their apps. In order to use this app properly, you will need an OAuth2 client–id and secret.

If you are interested into bringing Loopon Chat into your hospitality App, contact us at [email protected].

If you are already a Loopon partner and are having difficulties using this demo, get in touch with us at [email protected].

Running this Project

For this App to build and run properly, you will need to setup the Secrets.swift file, where you will insert the client–id and secret for the OAuth2 server. Please follow the steps below:

• Clone this project:

git clone https://github.com/LooponAB/GuestChat.git

• Navigate to the sources directory:

cd GuestChat/GuestChat

• Clone the Secrets.example.swift file into Secrets.swift:

cp Secrets.example.swift Secrets.swift

• Open the new Secrets.swift file and rename the struct to Secrets; then fill the placeholders with your OAuth2 client–id and secret:

struct Secrets
{
	// Example OAuth2 credentials:
	static let clientId: String		= "yadayada"
	static let clientSecret: String	= "jvUyVJb2FnDBiEY/61Ta1wYNjygtX8PHVN1FG4VBZJs="
}

• Compiler should finish successfully now.

How to use this app

The App will launch into the empty chat view. To get started, tap the "Setup" button. The Guest setup view should appear.

Select a Unit by tapping the "No Unit Selected" row.

Fill in the details of the guest. The only required field is the status, or "Journey Stage", which is always pre-selected as "Pre–Stay".

When you're done, tap "Done". The app should return to the Chat view. It will then automatically register the guest and start the chat session. If it works, the title of the view will change to the authorized guest's name. If nothing happens, check the error log in Xcode.

Important‼️

Do not use the HotelBackend class in a production environment. It is meant only to simulate the Hotel's app backend so that the App runs properly. In a real App, the Hotel's backend should register the guest stay and provide the stay object back to the App, and the App should communicate with Loopon's servers only through the chat websocket.
