How to configure a template?
Templates use a special kind of rules called routes. Routes are created by the SDK based on the deep links schemas that your app uses. Routes’ URLs have variables that define the expressions that vary in each URL. These expressions are defined by a : followed by a keyword.
When creating a template you will have to configure a route for every available platform. Doing so you will have to set the default URL and fallback.
For example, let’s assume that we created a template named “Product View” with following routes:
1. A desktop route with http://www.your-website.com/products/:id.
2. A mobile route with com.your-app://mobile/products/:id and its fallback method set to “desktop URL”.
Later, you enter a URL in the smart link builder that follows a pattern like this one:
http://www.your-website.com/products/5or/products/5orcom.your-app://mobile/products/5
The smart link builder will match any of these links with the “Product View” template and generate all the rules as follows:
- A desktop rule with
http://www.your-website.com/products/5. - A mobile rule with
com.your-app://mobile/products/5and its fallback method set to open the URL of the desktop rule.
Tip: In this case, you would have to code a route in your app using our SDK with the following pattern:
com.your-app://mobile/products/:id
