Question 1

How to set up Crossroad for Universal Links in an iOS app?

Accepted Answer

Define a LinkSource with .universalLink and add it to the router initialization, then handle URL opening in SceneDelegate or AppDelegate as shown in the README's modern app example.

Question 2

Crossroad vs URLNavigator: which is better for deep linking?

Accepted Answer

Crossroad excels in type-safe argument parsing and multiple link source support, while URLNavigator might be lighter for basic routing; choose Crossroad if you need strict type checking and complex source management.

Question 3

Can Crossroad parse query parameters as arrays or sets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports comma-separated query strings as Array or Set types, as demonstrated in the README with parsing types like [Type] from a comma-separated list.

Question 4

How to add custom argument parsing for a struct in Crossroad?

Accepted Answer

Implement the Parsable protocol for your struct by defining an init?(from string: String) method, as shown in the User struct example in the README.

Question 5

Does Crossroad work with SwiftUI navigation?

Accepted Answer

It can integrate with SwiftUI by handling URL routing in AppDelegate or SceneDelegate, but direct SwiftUI navigation integration requires manual bridging, as Crossroad focuses on URL parsing rather than UI frameworks.

Question 6

What's the best way to handle routing errors in Crossroad?

Accepted Answer

Use try-catch blocks for argument parsing and route initialization errors, and throw custom errors in route closures to manage fallbacks, as illustrated in the PokedexError handling example.
