How to Use

Basic Use

Advanced Use

For now zodiva lets you set the current user. All you have to do is pass the current users email, gender and name. Something like this -

cordova.zodiva.open('app_id','secret_key','device token','[email protected],dn=Test Sdk,gender=male');

Zodiva SDK will use the email, name and gender provided by the app. Gender can be only male or female

This third and fourth paremeters are optional.

Third parameter is the device token for the user. This will be used to send push notification to the user. You can set it up in your Dashboard
