External Url Registration

Chromely allows custom url to be registered. This is different from custom scheme handling registration.

There are 2 types of custom urls:

• Custom url
• External custom url

A class is provided to instantiate a custom url.

public class UrlScheme
{
  ....

   public string Scheme { get; set; }
   public string Host { get; set; }
   public bool IsExternal { get; set; }

   ....
}
where IsExternal determines whether it is custom scheme or an external scheme.

Custom Url Scheme

This is left to the developer to decide what it could be used for.

A custom url scheme is registered in ChromelyConfiguration.

ChromelyConfiguration config = ChromelyConfiguration()
                              .Create()
                              ....
                              .RegisterCustomrUrlScheme("http", "chromely.com")
                              .RegisterCustomrUrlScheme("test", "test.com")
                              .....

External Url Scheme

An external url is used to launch a url/website in an external browser. As the examples below, both www.google.com and https://github.com/mattkol/Chromely will be launched in an external default browser.

A custom external url scheme is registered in ChromelyConfiguration.

ChromelyConfiguration config = ChromelyConfiguration()
                              .Create()
                              ....
                              .RegisterExternaleUrlScheme("https", "google.com")
                              .RegisterExternaleUrlScheme("https", "github.com")
                              .....
