If web address doesn't start with http then https:// will be pasted before the address.

Create your own handlers​

All the previously described openers extend abstract BaseUrlOpener which uses Linking.openURL under the hood when trying to open your params.

You can create your own class extend it from BaseUrlOpener, set your own constructor and generateUrl, like so:

export class MyParamUrl extends BaseUrlOpener {
  //Define your parameters
  constructor(private myParam: string | null) {
    super();
  }

  protected generateUrl(): string | null {
    if (this.myParam == null) {
      return null;
    } else {
      //Do some action here
      return "do something";
    }
  }
}
