Question 1

How to use react-native-deep-link with Redux?

Accepted Answer

Define a callback that dispatches Redux actions, as shown in the example. The handler receives props including dispatch, allowing integration with thunks or other Redux logic.

Question 2

react-native-deep-link vs react-navigation deep linking: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Use react-native-deep-link if you need custom logic like dispatching actions on deep links. React-navigation is sufficient for navigation-only use cases and has better integration out-of-the-box.

Question 3

How to handle universal links on iOS with this library?

Accepted Answer

Follow the iOS configuration in the README by adding code to AppDelegate.m for continueUserActivity. The library processes the URL once it's passed by the system, but you must handle the platform setup manually.

Question 4

Can I use react-native-deep-link without any state management?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's framework agnostic. Use it with a NavigationService or direct component props, as demonstrated in the non-Redux example folder, allowing flexibility without dependencies.

Question 5

What happens if a deep link doesn't match any route?

Accepted Answer

The onCannotHandleUrl callback is invoked, letting you log or handle unsupported URLs gracefully, as described in the API section for error scenarios.

Question 6

How to test deep links during development with this package?

Accepted Answer

Set up your schemes in the config and use React Native's Linking API or platform-specific tools to simulate deep links, ensuring that your handlers are triggered and error callbacks work as expected.
