⚠️ Deprecation Notice #

• DeepLinkFacade is now deprecated and will be removed in v3.0.0
• Use ShyunLinkService directly or the new ShyunLinkManager for convenience
• Existing code continues to work but will show deprecation warnings

---

🔧 Fixed #

• Critical Bug Fix: Fixed pageType and pageId parameters being sent as null in API requests
• URL Parsing Enhancement: Added intelligent URL parsing to extract pageType, pageId, and deepLinkPath from query parameters and URL paths
• DeepLinkFacade Improvement: Enhanced createLink() method to automatically detect and use appropriate factory methods based on URL content

✨ Enhanced #

• Automatic Parameter Extraction: The system now automatically extracts:
  • pageType from URL ?type= parameter
  • pageId from URL ?id= parameter
  • deepLinkPath from URL path (e.g., /curationDetail → curationDetail) or ?deepLinkPath= parameter
• Smart Factory Method Selection:
  • Curation URLs automatically use createCurationRequest()
  • Store URLs automatically use createStoreRequest()
  • Other URLs use createPageRequest() with extracted parameters
• Enhanced Factory Methods: Added optional deepLinkPath parameter to:
  • createCurationRequest()
  • createStoreRequest()

📚 Documentation #

• New Comprehensive Guide: Added SHORTLINK_GUIDE.md with complete usage examples
• Best Practices: Included troubleshooting tips and best practices for short link creation
• Real-world Examples: Added practical examples including ProductLinkService implementation

⚡ Performance #

• Fallback Strategy: Added robust error handling with graceful fallback to generic requests when URL parsing fails
• URL Validation: Enhanced URL format validation before processing

This update ensures that pageType and pageId are correctly included in all API requests, resolving the critical issue where these parameters were being sent as null.

---

💥 Breaking Changes #

• API Alignment: Refactored core data models (ShortLinkEntity, CreateShortLinkRequest) to align with the backend API specification. This is a major breaking change affecting how short links are created and parsed.
• Simplified Fields: Removed customAlias, expiresAt, and metadata from CreateShortLinkRequest to match the new API DTO.
• Entity Structure: ShortLinkEntity now includes pageType, pageId, and deepLinkPath directly, and no longer contains a nested ShortLinkStats object in its constructor for API responses.

🔧 Fixed #

• Compilation Errors: Fixed all compilation errors across the facade, factory, and repository layers caused by the data model refactoring.
• In-Memory Repository: Updated MemoryShortLinkRepository to correctly handle the new entity structure and request objects.

✨ Improved #

• API-First Design: The data models are now a direct reflection of the backend API, ensuring more reliable network communication.
• Code Consistency: Ensured that all layers of the application now use the same, consistent data structures for creating and handling short links.

---

🚀 Major Improvements #

• HTTP Repository: Enabled HTTP repository by default (useHttpRepository: true)
• Real HTTP Client: Replaced mock HTTP client with actual Dio implementation
• Network Logging: Added comprehensive request/response logging for debugging
• Error Handling: Enhanced DioException handling with detailed error messages

🔧 Fixed #

• NoSuchMethodError: Fixed createShortLink() method not existing (use createLink() instead)
• Mock HTTP Client: Replaced with real Dio-based HTTP client for actual network requests
• Network Requests: HTTP requests now actually reach the configured API server
• Debug Logging: Added detailed logging to track network requests and responses

📚 API Clarification #

• Correct Method: Use createLink(GenericLinkRequest) instead of non-existent createShortLink()
• Share Methods: share() and shareLink() return void (not null) - this is expected behavior
• GenericLinkRequest.curation(): Confirmed working correctly with curationType and id parameters

⚡ Performance #

• Real Network Requests: HTTP calls now use Dio client with proper timeout and error handling
• Request Interceptors: Added logging interceptors for debugging network issues
• Connection Management: Proper connection pooling and timeout configuration

🔧 Fixed #

• Repository Selection: Fixed HTTP repository not being used when useHttpRepository: true
• System Initializer: Added conditional repository initialization based on configuration
• Fallback Mechanism: Added graceful fallback to memory repository when HTTP repository fails

✨ Improved #

• Testing Support: Added repositoryType getter for testing repository selection
• Error Handling: Enhanced error handling with fallback strategies

Migration Guide #

From Custom Implementation #

If you're migrating from a custom deeplink implementation:

1. Install the package:

   dependencies:
     flutter_deeplink_architect: ^1.0.0
   

2. Initialize the system:

   final config = DeepLinkConfig.defaults(
     appScheme: 'your-app-scheme',
     baseUrl: 'https://your-domain.com',
   );
   await DeepLinkArchitect.initialize(config);
   

3. Replace deeplink handling:

   // Old way
   void handleDeepLink(String url) {
     // Custom parsing and routing logic
   }
      
   // New way
   final facade = DIContainer.get<DeepLinkFacade>();
   final success = await facade.handleDeepLink(url);
   

4. Update short link creation:

   // Old way
   final shortUrl = await createShortLink(originalUrl);
      
   // New way
   final shortUrl = await facade.createPageLink(
     pageType: 'product',
     pageId: productId,
     originalUrl: originalUrl,
   );
