Usage

Recommended integration with DetourService

DetourService is the recommended orchestration layer. It:

• configures native bridge once,
• merges initial and runtime link handling into one pending intent queue,
• exposes startup readiness via isInitialLinkProcessed,
• uses explicit consume semantics (consumePendingIntent()),
• suppresses short-window duplicate emissions.

import 'package:detour_flutter_plugin/detour_flutter_plugin.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  State<MyApp> createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  final detour = DetourService();

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    detour.addListener(_onDetourChanged);
    _startDetour();
  }

  Future<void> _startDetour() async {
    await detour.start(
      const DetourConfig(
        apiKey: '<REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_API_KEY>',
        appID: '<REPLACE_WITH_APP_ID_FROM_PLATFORM>',
        shouldUseClipboard: true,
        linkProcessingMode: LinkProcessingMode.all,
      ),
    );
  }

  void _onDetourChanged() {
    final intent = detour.pendingIntent;
    if (intent == null) return;

    // Route once, then mark as consumed.
    // context.go(intent.link.route);
    detour.consumePendingIntent();
  }
}

Link processing mode

DetourConfig.linkProcessingMode controls link sources:

Value	Universal/App links	Deferred links	Custom scheme links
LinkProcessingMode.all (default)	Yes	Yes	Yes
LinkProcessingMode.webOnly	Yes	Yes	No
LinkProcessingMode.deferredOnly	No	Yes	No

DetourResult and routing fields

DetourResult contains:

processed

link

Type DetourLink?

If link != null, routing payload is:

link.route

Path + query.

link.pathname

Path only.

link.params

Type Map<String, String>

link.url

Raw URL string.

link.type

Type deferred | verified | scheme

Manual processing

You can process arbitrary URLs explicitly:

final result = await detour.processLink(
  'https://example.godetour.link/abc123?source=push',
);

if (result.link != null) {
  // Navigate with result.link!.route
}

Use emitIntent: false when you need result inspection without pushing intent into service queue.

Low-level API (DetourFlutterPlugin)

If you need full manual control, use DetourFlutterPlugin directly:

final plugin = DetourFlutterPlugin();

await plugin.configure(
  const DetourConfig(
    apiKey: '<REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_API_KEY>',
    appID: '<REPLACE_WITH_APP_ID_FROM_PLATFORM>',
  ),
);

final initial = await plugin.resolveInitialLink();
final stream = plugin.linkStream;
final processed = await plugin.processLink('https://example.godetour.link/path');

Analytics

Use predefined enum events only:

await detour.logEvent(
  DetourEventName.purchase,
  data: {'value': 9.99, 'currency': 'USD'},
);

await detour.logRetention('home_screen_viewed');

logEvent accepts DetourEventName (not arbitrary event strings).
