DeepLinkKit is a powerful iOS library that simplifies deep linking integration in your app. With DeepLinkKit, you can easily handle incoming deep links and route users to specific pages or perform certain actions within your app. This documentation will guide you through the installation process, usage, and advanced features of DeepLinkKit.
Installation
To integrate DeepLinkKit into your iOS app, follow the steps below:
1. Open your project in Xcode.
2. Navigate to the target's General settings tab.
3. Scroll down to the 'Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content' section.
4. Click the '+' button to add a new framework.
5. Search for 'DeepLinkKit'.
6. Select the latest version and click 'Add'.
7. Ensure 'Embed & Sign' option is selected.
8. Click 'Finish' to complete the installation process.
Initialization
After successfully installing DeepLinkKit, follow the steps below to initialize and configure it in your app:
- Create a new Swift file, e.g., ‘DeepLinkManager.swift’, in your project’s directory.
- Add the following code to the file:
import DeepLinkKit
class DeepLinkManager {
static let sharedInstance = DeepLinkManager()
private init() {
// Configure DeepLinkKit here
}
func handleDeepLink(_ deepLink: DPLDeepLink) {
// Handle the incoming deep link
}
}
- Replace the comment “// Configure DeepLinkKit here” with your desired configuration code.
- Add the following code to your AppDelegate’s `didFinishLaunchingWithOptions` method:
let deepLinkManager = DeepLinkManager.sharedInstance
DPLDeepLinkRouter.default().handle(url, withCompletion: deepLinkManager.handleDeepLink)
Usage
With DeepLinkKit integrated and initialized, you can now start handling deep links within your app. Follow the steps below to configure and handle deep links:
- Define a custom URL scheme in your app’s ‘Info.plist’ file. This will be used to handle incoming deep links.
- Implement the appropriate deep link handling code in the `handleDeepLink` method within your `DeepLinkManager` class. This method will be called whenever a deep link is triggered.
Advanced Features
DeepLinkKit provides additional advanced features to enhance your deep linking integration. Some of these features include:
- Link routing and parameter extraction
- Deferred deep linking
- Custom URL schemes
- Universal links
With DeepLinkKit, handling deep links in your iOS app becomes a breeze. By following the steps mentioned in this documentation, you can easily integrate the library, configure it to your needs, and handle deep links effectively.
