Installation

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-dynamiclinks --variable APP_DOMAIN="example.com" --variable PAGE_LINK_DOMAIN="example.page.link"

Use variable APP_DOMAIN specify web URL where your app will start an activity to handle the link.

Use variable PAGE_LINK_DOMAIN specify your *.page.link domain.

Use variable FIREBASE_DYNAMIC_LINKS_VERSION and FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_VERSION to override dependency version on Android.

Quirks

On Android you have to add AndroidLaunchMode setting in order to prevent creating of multiple app activities:

<preference name="AndroidLaunchMode" value="singleTask" />

Firebase Dynamic Links SDK has an unresolved bug related to parsing deepLink for new app installs. In order to get it work your dynamic link MUST have an app preview page, which by default.

Methods

onDynamicLink(callback)

Registers callback that is triggered on each dynamic link click.

cordova.plugins.firebase.dynamiclinks.onDynamicLink(function(data) {
    console.log("Dynamic link click with data:", data);
});

Every create* method accepts dynamicLinkInfo object as the first argument. Read section below to understand all supported dynamic link parameters.

createDynamicLink(parameters)

Creates a Dynamic Link from the parameters. Returns a promise fulfilled with the new dynamic link url.

cordova.plugins.firebase.dynamiclinks.createDynamicLink({
    link: "https://google.com"
}).then(function(url) {
    console.log("Dynamic link was created:", url);
});

createShortDynamicLink(parameters)

Creates a shortened Dynamic Link from the parameters. Shorten the path to a string that is only as long as needed to be unique, with a minimum length of 4 characters. Use this method if sensitive information would not be exposed if a short Dynamic Link URL were guessed.

cordova.plugins.firebase.dynamiclinks.createShortDynamicLink({
    link: "https://google.com"
}).then(function(url) {
    console.log("Dynamic link was created:", url);
});

createUnguessableDynamicLink(parameters)

Creates a Dynamic Link from the parameters. Shorten the path to an unguessable string. Such strings are created by base62-encoding randomly generated 96-bit numbers, and consist of 17 alphanumeric characters. Use unguessable strings to prevent your Dynamic Links from being crawled, which can potentially expose sensitive information.

cordova.plugins.firebase.dynamiclinks.createUnguessableDynamicLink({
    link: "https://google.com"
}).then(function(url) {
    console.log("Dynamic link was created:", url);
});

Changelog 21 Dec 2020

• Pinning pod spec to 7 causes issues with Google sign-in pods so we've now kept it a bare minimum above the commit when UIWebview was removed i.e. Pinned at 6.8.0
• Since analytics is not used the pod dependancy has been removed
