Make an invite with 10 redemptions and no expiry.
Make an invite that expires on a specific date.
Make an invite that expires in 14 days.
Redeem Invites
You can redeem an invite by calling the ` method. Providing the invite code and optionally an email address.
If invites is able to redeem the invite code it will increment the number of redemptions by 1, otherwise it will throw an exception.
- ` is thrown if the code does not exist in the database.
- ` is thrown if an expiry date is set and it is in the past.
- ` is thrown if the invite code has already been used the maximum number of times.
All of the above exceptions extend ` so you can catch that exception if your application does not need to do anything specific for the above exceptions.
Check Invites without redeeming them
