Custom Assignments

Warning

Events with custom assignments are counted as eligible events by the ABsmartly statistics engines. If you are using these methods for development purposes (to force a particular variant for yourself or somebody else on the team) it is likely that you need the context.override methods instead.

Javascript

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the context.customAssignment() method.

const chosenVariant = 1;

context.customAssignment("experiment_name", chosenVariant);

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the customAssignments method.

const assignments = {
  experiment_name: 1,
  another_experiment_name: 0,
  a_third_experiment_name: 2,
};

context.customAssignments(assignments);

Python3

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the set_custom_assignment() method.

    context.set_custom_assignment("exp_test_not_eligible", 3)

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the set_custom_assignments() method.

    context.set_custom_assignments({"db_user_id2": 1})

React

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the context.customAssignment() method.

const chosenVariant = 1;

context.customAssignment("experiment_name", chosenVariant);

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the customAssignments method.

const assignments = {
  experiment_name: 1,
  another_experiment_name: 0,
  a_third_experiment_name: 2,
};

context.customAssignments(assignments);

Swift

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the context.setCustomAssignment() method.

let chosenVariant = 1

context.setCustomAssignment("experiment_name", chosenVariant)

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the setCustomAssignments method.

let assignments = ["experiment_name": 1,
                   "another_experiment_name": 0,
                   "a_third_experiment_name": 2]

context.setCustomAssignments(assignments)

Vue2

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the customAssignment() method.

const chosenVariant = 1;

this.$absmartly.customAssignment("experiment_name", chosenVariant);

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the customAssignments() method.

const assignments = {
  experiment_name: 1,
  another_experiment_name: 0,
  a_third_experiment_name: 2,
};

this.$absmartly.customAssignments(assignments);

Vue3

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the customAssignment() method.

const chosenVariant = 1;

this.$absmartly.customAssignment("experiment_name", chosenVariant);

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the customAssignments() method.

const assignments = {
  experiment_name: 1,
  another_experiment_name: 0,
  a_third_experiment_name: 2,
};

this.$absmartly.customAssignments(assignments);

Java

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the setCustomAssignment() method.

final int chosenVariant = 1;

context.setCustomAssignment("experiment_name", chosenVariant);

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the setCustomAssignments() method.

final Map<String, Integer> assignments = Map.of(
    "experiment_name", 1,
    "another_experiment_name", 0,
    "a_third_experiment_name", 2,
)

context.setCustomAssignments(assignments);

Go

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the SetCustomAssignment() method.

var chosenVariant = 1;

context.SetCustomAssignment("experiment_name", chosenVariant);

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the SetCustomAssignments() method.

var assignments = map[string]int{
    "experiment_name": 1,
    "another_experiment_name": 0,
    "a_third_experiment_name": 2,
}

context.SetCustomAssignments(assignments)

.NET

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the SetCustomAssignment() method.

var chosenVariant = 1;

context.SetCustomAssignment("experiment_name", chosenVariant);

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the SetCustomAssignments() method.

var assignments = new Dictionary<string,int>(){
    {"experiment_name", 1},
    {"another_experiment_name", 0},
    {"a_third_experiment_name", 2}
}

context.SetCustomAssignments(assignments)

PHP

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the Context->setCustomAssignment() method.

$chosenVariant = 1;
$context->setCustomAssignment("experiment_name", $chosenVariant);

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the Context->setCustomAssignments() method.

$assignments = [
    "experiment_name" => 1,
    "another_experiment_name" => 0,
    "a_third_experiment_name" => 2
];

$context->setCustomAssignments($assignments);

Ruby

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the set_custom_assignment() method.

chosen_variant = 1
context.set_custom_assignment('experiment_name', chosen_variant)

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the set_custom_assignments() method.

assignments = [
    'experiment_name' => 1,
    'another_experiment_name' => 0,
    'a_third_experiment_name' => 2
]

context.set_custom_assignments(assignments)

Flutter/Dart

Sometimes it may be necessary to override the automatic selection of a variant. For example, if you wish to have your variant chosen based on data from an API call. This can be accomplished using the setCustomAssignment() method.

    context.setCustomAssignment("experimentName", 1);

If you are running multiple experiments and need to choose different custom assignments for each one, you can do so using the setCustomAssignments() method.

    context.setCustomAssignments({"experimentName": 1});

info

These methods can be called before or after the context is ready.
