Add navigation app link in status card

[dough29]

Hello,

I often need to reach the position of my trackers but I prefer to use Waze.

Before, I had to open the link for Google Maps, copy latlon coordinates, open Waze manually and paste the coordinates.

With this query we add a "Waze" entry to the status card menu:

This will trigger the Waze app to open on the smartphone.

I have successfully tested this locally with an Android phone.

I don't think it makes sense to hardcode something like this. Waze is not ubiquitous enough. Maybe a better option is a customizable menu option there where you can provide a custom URL with location placeholder.

btw you should only add English string.

Thanks for your quick review.

Ok, I can spend a little more time making it customizable 👍

Could you give me an idea how I could interpret a specific format in the attribute string so that I can replace it with latitude and longitude values ​​🤔

I should create custom user and server attributes like:

• state.session.server.attributes.navigationAppLink
• state.session.server.attributes.navigationAppTitle
• state.session.user.navigationAppLink
• state.session.user.navigationAppTitle

navigationAppLink should have a value like "https://www.waze.com/ul?ll=${position.latitude}%2C${position.longitude}" but I don't know how to handle the position.latitude and position.longitude in the string so that they are replaced with their value.

Two attributes is probably enough. I recommend just navigationAppLink and navigationAppTitle.

The link can include placeholders. For example https://example.com?lat={latitude}&lon={longitude}. And then you just replace those placeholders when you format the URL.

Ok, navigationAppLink and navigationAppTitle should be in server attributes or only for user attributes?

[tananaev]

They should be in useCommonUserAttributes.js. That way they will apply to both server and user.

Merged, thanks.
