Make SMS links compatible cross devices, without any other dependancies.
In the world of SMS URLs, iOS is making our life hard.
The standard way to write an SMS link in HTML is this one:
<a href="sms:+33102030405?body=Body Content">Your link text</a>This thing is, depending on which version of iOS you use, the ? separator must be changed to either a ;
or a &.
This library detect which version you're running and adapt the links accordingly.
Include sms-link.min.js and put a link in your html.
<a href="sms:+33102030405?body=Body Content">Your link text</a>Then just call the class in JavaScript
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (function () {
link = new SMSLink.link();
link.replaceAll();
}), false);This class is used to detect version of mobile OSes.
Only Android and iOS are detected.
It exposes various method :
- os : return either iOS or Android or null if nothing has been detected
- version : return the found version or null if nothing had been detected
- isMobile: return true if the OS has been detected
This class replace the links with correct URLS.
Methods:
- replace : Replace the href attribute to match the correct format used by the OS.
- replaceWithSelector : Call the replace method on all matching elements
- replaceAll : Replace all "sms:" url to a correct version.

The SMSLink.detector code is inspired by a StackOverflow post, so I guess it's under the MIT licence, anyway you'll find a link in the source code.
