# Reset User

# State

You can get information such as account status and number of unread messages from Smartsupp.shared.state.

class SmartsuppState {
    var unreadMessages: Int
    var status: Smartsupp.AccountStatus
    var userIsBlocked: Bool
}

If you want to observe changes of these values, just add a delegate Smartsupp.shared.state.delegate.add(self).

protocol SmartsuppStateDelegate: AnyObject {
    func smartsuppState(unreadMessages: Int)
    func smartsuppState(status: Smartsupp.AccountStatus)
    func smartsuppState(userIsBlocked: Bool)
}
