vaknl-user 1.0.3

User class that defines a user based on clickstream data.

vaknl-user

Defines the vaknl User class. A user (here identified by a dmp_user_id) is a object that is defined by website clickstream data as a basis. The User class contains functions that can transform raw Firestore website clickstream data to well defined Event dataclasses. These Event dataclasses are read and translated into user information. The User class also includes functions to write the user to Firestore.
