VSAppLink

A handy little method that will default to the app store if an app that you want to deep link into is not installed on the device.

Demo

openOnDevice

import VSAppLink from '@vivintsolar-oss/native-vs-app-link';

const config = {
  appName: 'Vivint Solar',
  appStoreId: 'id1289441541',
  playStoreId: 'com.vivintsolar.hea',
  appStoreLocale: 'us',
};

VSAppLink.openOnDevice('vslr://+', config)

This is the method you'll want to use most of the time since it will attempt to open up the app on the device and if it doesn't succeed then it will try either openInStore or openInBrowser. You can specify it to use openInBrowser by passing it a downloadLink in the config object.

openInStore

import VSAppLink from '@vivintsolar-oss/native-vs-app-link';

const config = {
  appStoreId: 'id1289441541',
  playStoreId: 'com.vivintsolar.hea',
};

VSAppLink.openInStore(config)

openInBrowser

import VSAppLink from '@vivintsolar-oss/native-vs-app-link';

const config = {
  downloadLink: 'https://www.vivintsolar.com',
};

VSAppLink.openInBrowser(config)

Store ID's

appStoreId can be found in the developer console of itunes but the most common way to find it is via the app store itself via the url. For example for this app, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vivint-solar/id1289441541?mt=8 the appStoreId would be id1289441541

playStoreId can be found in a similar manner, so for https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivintsolar.hea the playStoreId would be com.vivintsolar.hea
