Add URL scheme support

Open timonus opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

What Currently Happens?

There's no way to open GitPoint to a specific GitHub entity via URL scheme.

What Would You Like To Happen?

It would be nice if you could launch GitPoint to specific GitHub entities (repos, users, commits, etc.) via a URL scheme, requested on Twitter here.

Would Deep Linking be what we are looking for?

Yeah, that would probably be sufficient. I need to be able to fire a URL with an app-specific scheme like gitpoint:// that can open particular GitHub entities.

That's exactly it @SammyIsra :)

So in our routes file, we already have our prefix set. It's only a matter of adding paths to each of screens as well (see here: https://reactnavigation.org/docs/deep-linking.html)

Will definitely need some testing (both iOS and Android) once the paths are in but I don't think it should be too complicated!

Can get to it by next week at the latest if no one hops on this first 🚀
