Deeplinking in Ionic application

Hello,

Deeplinking is a methodology for launching a native mobile application via a link.
Deeplinking connects a unique url to a defined action in a mobile app, seamlessly linking users to relevant content.


Now, we can also use deeplinking in ionic application.

Following are the commands for deeplinking in blank app-

ionic start myapp blank
cd myapp
ionic platform add android

Then we will add the following plugin for the deeplinking

cordova plugin add https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/LaunchMyApp-PhoneGap-Plugin.git --variable URL_SCHEME=myapp

Here in URL_SCHEME we will assign that name of app which we want in form of url.
So in our case url will be myapp:// 

Now we will add following lines of code in config.xml

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-customurlscheme" source="npm">
    <param name="URL_SCHEME" value="myapp"/>
  </plugin>

Here in value you will assign name as in URL_SCHEME.
So, now your config.xml  looklike-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<widget id="com.ionicframework.wgldeep641489" version="0.0.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
  <name>myapp</name>

  </platform>
</widget>

So, now your app will work with the url myapp://
