What is Protocol Launcher?
Protocol Launcher is a TypeScript library designed to generate "Quick Launch" URLs (Deep Links) for various applications.
These URLs allow users to trigger specific actions in applications with a single click, such as installing plugins, configuring servers, or setting up API keys.
Key Features
- Type-Safe: Strict TypeScript types validate payloads and prevent malformed links.
- Multi-App Ready: Extensible design to support many apps via URL schemes.
- On-Demand / Tree-shakable: Import only what you need; small bundle footprint.
- Secure Encoding: Encodes configs safely to avoid injection. Supports Unicode characters including Chinese.
- Zero Runtime Dependencies: Lightweight library with no external runtime dependencies.
- ESM First: Modern ES Modules, works in Node and bundlers.
