redirect users from your website to your app
Except for some minor revisions, this is the original documentation from appURL.org before they stopped supporting appurl.js and took the library and documentation offline.
Even if you AppURL-enable your app, users who have your app installed might still end up on your website:
- Users might not have AppURL clients.
- Users might not link to your website through appurl.org/go.
You can redirect users from your website to your app (if installed on their device) using our JavaScript library at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/barsh/AppURL/master/appurl.js.
Under the <head> tag in your HTML, add the following to import the AppURL.openUrl function.
To automatically call this function on page load, add it to an onload event handler:
if (window.addEventListener) {
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
AppURL.openUrl();
});
} else { // For IE support
window.attachEvent('onload', function() {
AppURL.openUrl();
});
}Or if you use jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
AppURL.openUrl();
});Any of the following would open the Grid6 app from http://grid6.us/bbbbbbaa:
/*
1. Make an API call to AppURL.org
2. Compute transformation for this URL
3. Perform the redirect
*/
AppURL.openUrl('http://grid6.us/bbbbbbaa')/*
Calling without arguments uses location.href
If you are on http://grid6.us/bbbbbbaa
this is equivalent to:
AppURL.openUrl('http://grid6.us/bbbbbbaa')
*/
AppURL.openUrl();/*
If you already know the native URL,
simply provide it as a second argument
*/
AppURL.openUrl(
'http://grid6.us/bbbbbbaa',
'grid6.us:/bbbbbbaa')Implements an AppURL client at the JavaScript level.
Takes two optional arguments:
webUrl- The URL to open. Defaults to the current page's URL.nativeUrl- The custom-scheme URL to attempt to open in an app. If this argument is omitted, the library makes a call to the AppURL.org API's /transform method and uses thenativeUrlfield in the API response.
If AppURL.openUrl() doesn't successfully launch an app on your user's device, it fails silently and doesn't needlessly refresh your page. If you have an AppURL-enabled app, we recommend making an AppURL.openUrl() call at load time everywhere on your website.
