useLinkPressHandler - Javascript

useLinkPressHandler is a React hook that allows you to add custom behavior to link clicks in your application. It can be used to implement things like analytics tracking, preventing certain links from being clicked, or adding custom routing behavior.

Usage

import { useLinkPressHandler } from "react-native-navigation-hooks";

function MyScreen() {
  const onLinkPress = useLinkPressHandler(({ url }) => {
    // Handle link press here
  });

  return (
    <View>
      <Text onPress={() => onLinkPress("https://example.com")}>Click me</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

The useLinkPressHandler hook takes a callback that will be called when a link is pressed. The callback receives an object with the url and target properties. The url property is the URL of the link that was pressed, and the target property is the target attribute of the link.

The hook returns a function that you can call with a URL to trigger the link press behavior. You can use this function to attach the link press behavior to any element that can trigger an onPress event.

Example

Here's an example of using useLinkPressHandler to add analytics tracking to link clicks:

import { useLinkPressHandler } from "react-native-navigation-hooks";
import Analytics from "../analytics";

function MyScreen() {
  const onLinkPress = useLinkPressHandler(({ url }) => {
    Analytics.trackEvent("Link clicked", { url });
  });

  return (
    <View>
      <Text onPress={() => onLinkPress("https://example.com")}>Click me</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

In this example, we're using an analytics library to track link clicks. We pass a callback to useLinkPressHandler that calls the trackEvent method with the URL of the clicked link. We then use the function returned by useLinkPressHandler to attach the link press behavior to a Text element.
