GitHub npm crates.io

API Reference

Set your Tauri application as the default handler for an URL.

Supported Platforms

• Android
• iOS

Setup

This plugin requires a Rust version of at least 1.75

Install the deep-link plugin to get started.

Automatic

Use your project’s package manager to add the dependency:

npm

npm run tauri add deep-link

yarn

yarn run tauri add deep-link

pnpm

pnpm tauri add deep-link

bun

bun tauri add deep-link

cargo

cargo tauri add deep-link

Manual

1. Run cargo add tauri-plugin-deep-link to add the plugin to the project’s dependencies in Cargo.toml.

2. Modify lib.rs to initialize the plugin:

   lib.rs

   #[cfg_attr(mobile, tauri::mobile_entry_point)]
   fn run() {
       tauri::Builder::default()
           .plugin(tauri_plugin_deep_link::init())
           .run(tauri::generate_context!())
           .expect("error while running tauri application");
   }

3. Install the JavaScript Guest bindings using your preferred JavaScript package manager:

   npm

   npm install @tauri-apps/plugin-deep-link

   yarn

   yarn add @tauri-apps/plugin-deep-link

   pnpm

   pnpm add @tauri-apps/plugin-deep-link

   bun

   bun add @tauri-apps/plugin-deep-link

Setting up

Android

For app links, you need a server with a .well-known/assetlinks.json endpoint that must return a text response in the given format:

.well-known/assetlinks.json

[
  {
    "relation": ["delegate_permission/common.handle_all_urls"],
    "target": {
      "namespace": "android_app",
      "package_name": "$APP_BUNDLE_ID",
      "sha256_cert_fingerprints": [
        $CERT_FINGERPRINT
      ]
    }
  }
]

Where $APP_BUNDLE_ID is the value defined on tauri.conf.json > identifier with - replaced with _ and $CERT_FINGERPRINT is a list of SHA256 fingerprints of your app’s signing certificates, see verify android applinks for more information.

iOS

Server

For universal links, you need a server with a .well-known/apple-app-site-association endpoint that must return a text response in the given format:

.well-known/apple-app-site-association

{
  "applinks": {
    "details": [
      {
        "appIDs": ["$DEVELOPMENT_TEAM_ID.$APP_BUNDLE_ID"],
        "components": [
          {
            "/": "/open/*",
            "comment": "Matches any URL whose path starts with /open/"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Where $DEVELOPMENT_TEAM_ID is the value defined on tauri.conf.json > tauri > bundle > iOS > developmentTeam or the TAURI_APPLE_DEVELOPMENT_TEAM environment variable and $APP_BUNDLE_ID is the value defined on tauri.conf.json > identifier. See applinks.details for more information.

App

You also need to add the associated domains to your app’s entitlements file:

src-tauri/gen/apple/[App Name]_iOS/[App Name]_iOS.entitlements

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key>
  <array>
    <string>applinks:your.website.com</string>
    <string>applinks:nother.site.br</string>
  </array>
</dict>
</plist>

See supporting associated domains for more information.

Configuration

Under tauri.conf.json > plugins > deep-link, configure the domains you want to associate with your application:

tauri.conf.json

{
  "plugins": {
    "deep-link": {
      "domains": [
        { "host": "your.website.com", "pathPrefix": ["/open"] },
        { "host": "another.site.br" }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Usage

The deep-link plugin is available in both JavaScript and Rust.

JavaScript

import { onOpenUrl } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-deep-link';

await onOpenUrl((urls) => {
  console.log('deep link:', urls);
});

Rust

src-tauri/src/lib.rs

use tauri_plugin_deep_link::DeepLinkExt;

#[cfg_attr(mobile, tauri::mobile_entry_point)]
fn run() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_deep_link::init())
        .setup(|app| {
            app.listen("deep-link://new-url", |url| {
              dbg!(url);
            });
            Ok(())
        })
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

Permissions

By default all plugin commands are blocked and cannot be accessed. You must define a list of permissions in your capabilities configuration.

See Permissions Overview for more information.

src-tauri/capabilities/main.json

{
  "$schema": "../gen/schemas/mobile-schema.json",
  "identifier": "mobile-capability",
  "windows": ["main"],
  "platforms": ["iOS", "android"],
  "permissions": [
    // Usually you will need event:default to listen to the deep-link event
    "event:default",
    "deep-link:default"
  ]
}

Permission	Description
deep-link:default	Allows reading the opened deep link via the get_current command.
deep-link:allow-get-current	Enables the get_current command without any pre-configured scope.
deep-link:deny-get-current	Denies the get_current command without any pre-configured scope.
