Have a look at the QA/Demo app

Additional api / helpers

Thers added an extra api of helpers making it easy to send data to the app:

• link(path, data) generates a url string
• browserLink(path, data) (requires url to be set)
• open(path, data) opens app using window.open
• iosBanner(path, data) add/update ios banner meta tag

Example code

1  var myCoolApp = new DeepLink('mycoolapp', {
2    // Optional
3    appId: 'me.dispatch.qa.test.deep.link',
4    url: 'http://foo.com', // Homepage with intent support
5    fallbackUrl: 'http://meteor.com' // Only android
6  });
7
8  myCoolApp.link('', { foo: 'bar' }); // This will generate the url to the app
9  myCoolApp.open('', { foo: 'bar' }); // This will open via window.open
10  myCoolApp.iosBanner('', { foo: 'bar' }); // This will add/update the meta tag for ios users
11
12  // This will use base64 ejson to carry the data - because it contains nested data
13  myCoolApp.link('path', { foo: 'bar', date: new Date() });
14
15  // To create a browser intent
16  myCoolApp.browserLink('', { foo: 'bar' });
