Hi, team!
We can generate a great shareable link with an OG preview that leads to a nice page with useful information, for example: https://shop.app/mc/nAssIQbo3cKG. Thank you for that!
However, if the recipient has the Shop app installed, the link opens directly in the mini instead of the web page.
Is there a way to display the same content inside the mini?
Thank you @steve-t-shopify!
Am I correct in understanding that when a link is passed to the app, the WebView will add query parameters? The link itself looks like this: https://shop.app/mc/b5aTBE8c386h, without any query parameters.
Yes deeplinks are transformed and you should see a public_id when using useDeeplink - we might change this in future as it’s not exactly how we want it and it’s undocumented but you can rely on it for now
@steve-t-shopify Is it correct search param for dev debbuging ? http://localhost:9001/?public_id=BzZXkkxvEUqp (seted up with useEffect(() => {
const url = new URL(window.location.href)
url.searchParams.set(‘public_id’, ‘BzZXkkxvEUqp’)
window.history.replaceState(null, ‘’, url.toString())
}, ))
I recive empty object in console for queryParams from useDeeplink()
Yes this is why I say to mock it - our dev mode deeplinks have a bug with this public_id. Hardcode it for now to test locally then replace with useDeeplink to make a submission - once your mini is in testing mode we can try it for real
Hi! Is there an option to clear the value or remove public_id in the navigating through pages? My logic is redirecting from the start page to the custom route to display the image if public_id exists, but when I navigate to the start page again, the app redirects me back to the route to display the image again.
You mean to reset what useDeeplink returns? No there’s no way to do that - if you need to only handle the deeplink once but you call useDeeplink repeatedly you will need ro store some state on your side to know to skip it
Thank you for the clarification that. We did it exactly that way.
