Universal Linking component #4546

chirag04 · 2015-12-03T19:00:40Z

A lot of code is redundant in IntentAndroid and LinkingIOS. This bridges that gap.
Not sure what we should do with IntentAndroid.js and LinkingIOS.js if we merge this.

cc @dmmiller who's running the effort of unifying iOS and Android apis :)

philikon · 2015-12-03T19:08:26Z

Could the diff be expressed as a rename of LinkingIOS.js to Linking.js please?

satya164 · 2015-12-04T02:38:20Z

I think we should show a warning when someone tries to use the events on Android.

Also, deep linking on Android is not supported on master, I've a pull request open here #4320 . However, I need to test it with my latest changes before I get it merged.

satya164 · 2015-12-04T02:43:19Z

BTW, currently we have 3 different files, LinkingIOS, IntentAndroid and Linking. We could merge them to a single Linking.js file and just export it as LinkingIOS, IntentAndroid and Linking for backward compatibility.

nicklockwood · 2015-12-04T15:46:28Z

Is "Linking" a good name for this? I can't say I'm a fan of it. If we're renaming it anyway, might as well pick something we like.

satya164 · 2015-12-04T15:48:12Z

@nicklockwood Any ideas for a Good name?

nicklockwood · 2015-12-04T15:56:10Z

Something like Routing? or URLRouting?

I don't know. Names are hard ¯_(ツ)_/¯

satya164 · 2015-12-04T15:57:52Z

@nicklockwood Routing sounds like it has something to do with React (Native) Router :|

Yeah, names are pretty damn hard :(

chirag04 · 2015-12-04T16:37:22Z

Agree with you guys. How about url or history?

@satya164: having one file and exporting it as linkingios, intentAndroid etc sounds like a good plan

satya164 · 2015-12-04T16:39:34Z

@chirag04 Nah, URL means, well URL (URL.openURL(url: string) is kinda weird), and History is more like what the Navigators does.

chirag04 · 2015-12-04T16:41:16Z

yeah. let's wait for more suggestions. I will update the PR accordingly. My plan was to start a discussion around this with this PR :)

mkonicek · 2015-12-09T22:02:36Z

Thanks for doing this! We should remove LinkingIOS and IntentAndroid in a followup PR, will need to update internal fb code with that.

I don't mind the name Linking - it's used to open external "links".

Looks like you need to rebase, sorry for the delay. Have many PRs in the queue and doing the branch cut for 0.17.

mkonicek · 2015-12-09T22:02:58Z

Adding a label so I don't forget about this PR.

chirag04 · 2015-12-10T17:44:56Z

@mkonicek I'm on vacation till 26th Dec. I will try to rebase and submit the follow up PR soon. Keeping it open till then.

mkonicek · 2015-12-13T14:35:53Z

No problem, enjoy your vacation @chirag04 :)

@chirag04 IntentAndroid doesn't have a popInitialURL method. It has a getInitialURL method which accepts a callback.

bozzmob · 2015-12-30T18:31:47Z

How about the name LinkTo sound?

Link to open URL
Link to open app

to here is more like referring to something.

chirag04 · 2015-12-30T19:26:37Z

@satya164 Seems like it was added recently. Thoughts on how we can support both the platforms?

cc @mkonicek

satya164 · 2015-12-30T20:06:15Z

@chirag04 May be the cross-paltform one can have the callback based getInitialURl as both scenarios can be supported by this. Android cannot have a synchronous method because of reasons outlined here - #4320

satya164 · 2015-12-30T20:07:13Z

@bozzmob Not a fan of it. There are method like getInitialURL and addEventListener, which don't sound quite right.

bozzmob · 2015-12-31T05:45:28Z

@satya164 Agree with you.

mkonicek · 2016-01-06T13:34:34Z

I'm not familiar with how the initial URL works on Android. @satya164, @chirag04 you have more knowledge, feel free to decide on a solution and ship this.

mkonicek · 2016-01-06T13:37:24Z

Looks like it's a constant on iOS and a method on Android? Don't have a strong preference - if it's hard to make it a constant on Android can we just make it a function with a callback in Linking, returning the constant on iOS and calling the method on Android? Up to you.

nicklockwood · 2016-01-06T13:43:58Z

Couldn't you implement popInitialURL on Android by calling getInitialURL internally and then popping to it?

satya164 · 2016-01-06T14:39:45Z

@nicklockwood We could. But it can change, and having it in a constant will be confusing.

mkonicek · 2016-01-06T15:06:26Z

Yeah, I'm not sure when to call getInitialURL. Having a function instead of a constant might be easier?
