Maintainability Audit Test Test Coverage

Firebase Dynamic Link is a tool to create a deep link of your webpage. It can be a tool to create a short link like Bit.ly too

Setup

Before you begin, you need to register at Firebase, and find following data:

  1. Firebase API key

    Open Open the Settings page of the Firebase console. If you are prompted to choose a project, select your Firebase project from the menu. The API key is a Web API Key field, you need to a note this key.

  2. Dynamic Links domain

    In the Firebase console, open the Dynamic Links section, accept the terms of service if prompted, and copy the dynamic links host. Usually it's like https://xxx.page.link. You can use your own custom domain to make it shorter. Reference: https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/custom-domains

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'firebase_dynamic_link'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install firebase_dynamic_link

Usage

Configure the HTTP client

    FirebaseDynamicLink.configure do |config|
      # the adapter should be supported by Faraday
      # more info look at https://github.com/lostisland/faraday/tree/master/test/adapters
      # Faraday.default_adapter is the default adapter
      config.adapter = :httpclient # optional, default is net_http

      # required, taken as default firebase api key when api_key parameter isn't passed to FirebaseDynamicLink::Client constructor
      config.api_key = 'API_KEY'

      # default 'UNGUESSABLE'
      config.suffix_option = 'SHORT' or 'UNGUESSABLE'

      # required
      config.dynamic_link_domain = 'https://xyz.app.goo.gl'

      # default 3 seconds
      config.timeout = 3

      # default 3 seconds
      config.open_timeout = 3
    end

Shorten a link

This method shortens a link with up to the first parameter in tact. Use this method if you do not have more than one parameter in the URL. Shortening an URL with more than one parameters will result in truncation of parameters after the first one.

    client = FirebaseDynamicLink::Client.new
    link = "http://domain.com/path/path"
    options = {
      # optional, to override default suffix default config
      suffix_option: '',

      # optional, to override default dynamic_link_domain default config
      dynamic_link_domain: '',

      # optional, timeout of each request of this instance
      timeout: 10,

      # optional, open timeout of each request of this instance
      open_timeout: 10
    }

    # options argument is optional
    result = client.shorten_link(link, options)

Shorten parameters

This method allows shortening of an URL with multiple parameters.

    client = FirebaseDynamicLink::Client.new
    link = "http://domain.com/path/path?key1=value1&key2=val2&key3=val3"
    options = {
      # optional, to override default suffix default config
      suffix_option: '',

      # optional, to override default dynamic_link_domain default config
      dynamic_link_domain: '',

      # optional, timeout of each request of this instance
      timeout: 10,

      # optional, open timeout of each request of this instance
      open_timeout: 10
    }

    parameters = {
      link: link,
      android_info: {
        android_package_name: name,
      },
      ios_info: {},
      navigation_info: {},
      analytics_info: {},
      social_meta_tag_info: {}
    }

    # options argument is optional
    result = client.shorten_parameters(parameters, options)

If request successful, then the result should be like following hash object

Or if the request reached daily quota, client will throw FirebaseDynamicLink::QuotaExceeded error

    {
      :link=>"https://--.app.goo.gl/ukph",
      :preview_link=>"https://--.app.goo.gl/ukph?d=1",
      :warning=>[
           {
             "warningCode"=>"UNRECOGNIZED_PARAM",
             "warningMessage"=>"..."
           },
           {
             "warningCode"=>"..."
           },
           {
             "warningCode"=>"..."
           }
        ]
    }

Otherwise it will throw FirebaseDynamicLink::ConnectionError error, with message = http error message

More than one firebase project

If you have more than one firebase project you can pass your api_key to FirebaseDynamicLink::Client constructor additionally to FirebaseDynamicLink configuration. Api key provided by constructor has precendece over this provided by FirebaseDynamicLink configuration.

    client = FirebaseDynamicLink::Client.new(api_key: 'API_KEY')
