Usage

Parsing a deep link

Just call Deeplink.parse with a deep link String and then you can read the scheme and path.

deeplink = Deeplink.parse('foursquare://checkins/12932')

deeplink.scheme # => "foursquare"
deeplink.path   # => "/checkins/12932"
deeplink.to_s   # => "foursquare://checkins/12932"

Query string

To get the query parameters of a link use query method.

deeplink = Deeplink.parse('foursquare://checkins/209823?test=true')

deeplink.query # => { :test => "true" }

Adding a query parameter

You can add one or more query parameters sending a Hash to add_query.

deeplink = Deeplink.parse('foursquare://checkins/20982')

deeplink.add_query(foo: 'bar') # => { :foo => "bar" }
deeplink.to_s                  # => "foursquare://checkins/20982?foo=bar"

deeplink = Deeplink.parse('foursquare://checkins/20982')

deeplink.add_query(foo: 'bar', biz: 'baz') # => { :foo => "bar", :biz => "baz" }
deeplink.to_s                              # => "foursquare://checkins/20982?foo=bar&biz=baz"

Removing a query parameter

To remove query parameters call remove_query with the key (or list of keys) that you want to remove. The method will return the value of the deleted key(s).

deeplink = Deeplink.parse('foursquare://checkins/20982?foo=bar')

deeplink.remove_query(:foo) # => "bar"
deeplink.to_s               # => "foursquare://checkins/20982"

deeplink = Deeplink.parse('foursquare://checkins/20982?foo=bar&fu=baz')

deeplink.remove_query(:foo, :fu) # => ["bar", "baz"]
deeplink.to_s                    # => "foursquare://checkins/20982"
