NativePHP Mobile URL Launcher
=============================

[](#nativephp-mobile-url-launcher)

A NativePHP Mobile plugin for communicating with device functionalities like the browser, phone dialer, SMS, map apps, and deep linking schemes.

Similar to Flutter's `url_launcher`, but tailored for NativePHP mobile.

Browser functionalities are already provided by NativePHP, so this plugin is only for other functionalities, for browser functionalities use [NativePHP Mobile Borwser](https://github.com/NativePHP/mobile-browser)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.2+
- Laravel 11+
- NativePHP Mobile ^3.0

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require rajen/nativephp-url-launcher
```

Publish the configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="nativephp-url-launcher-config"
```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

The plugin exposes a Laravel Facade, making it extremely easy to use:

```
use Rajen\UrlLauncher\Facades\UrlLauncher;

// Send an email
UrlLauncher::openEmail('hello@nativephp.com', 'Support Request', 'Hello from my app!');

// Dial a phone number
UrlLauncher::openPhone('+1234567890');

// Send an SMS
UrlLauncher::openSms('+1234567890', 'Please reply to this message.');

// Open WhatsApp
UrlLauncher::openWhatsApp('+1234567890', 'Hello!');

// Open Maps
UrlLauncher::openMap('London, UK');

// Open custom app deep link
UrlLauncher::openCustomScheme('myapp://product/123');

// Check if a URL can be launched
if (UrlLauncher::canLaunch('twitter://user?screen_name=NativePHP')) {
    UrlLauncher::launch('twitter://user?screen_name=NativePHP');
}
```

Deep Linking Configuration
--------------------------

[](#deep-linking-configuration)

If your app needs to trigger external deep links (e.g. `twitter://`, `whatsapp://`) or needs to handle returns back into your app via Custom Schemes (`myapp://`), you must configure the native project manifests.

### Android Setup (`AndroidManifest.xml`)

[](#android-setup-androidmanifestxml)

Add the following `` to your manifest if you are targeting Android 11+ to `canLaunch` other apps:

```

```

### iOS Setup (`Info.plist`)

[](#ios-setup-infoplist)

For iOS, you need to whitelist URL schemes your app wants to open using `LSApplicationQueriesSchemes`.

Add this to your `Info.plist`:

```
LSApplicationQueriesSchemes

    whatsapp
    twitter
    mailto
    tel
    sms

```

Listening for Returns / Deep Links
----------------------------------

[](#listening-for-returns--deep-links)

You can listen to URL Launcher events using standard Laravel Event listeners:

- `Rajen\UrlLauncher\Events\UrlLaunched`
- `Rajen\UrlLauncher\Events\UrlLaunchFailed`
- `Rajen\UrlLauncher\Events\DeepLinkReceived`
- `Rajen\UrlLauncher\Events\UrlLaunchCompleted`
- `Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event`

Example:

```
use Rajen\UrlLauncher\Events\UrlLaunched;
use Rajen\UrlLauncher\Events\UrlLaunchFailed;
use Rajen\UrlLauncher\Events\DeepLinkReceived;
use Rajen\UrlLauncher\Events\UrlLaunchCompleted;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;

Event::listen(function (DeepLinkReceived $event) {
    // do something
});
```
