Shortcut on the desktop

Using the native dialog, you can offer the user to add a shortcut to the desktop — a link to the game.

Before displaying the dialog, make sure that the option is available.

Checking the ability to add a shortcut ​

The availability of the option depends on the platform, the browser's internal rules, and the restrictions of the Yandex Games platform. To make sure that you can add a shortcut, use the ysdk.shortcut.can_show_prompt() method:

ysdk.shortcut.can_show_prompt(function (self, can_show)
  if can_show then
    -- Here you can show a button to add a shortcut
  end
end)

Calling the dialog ​

After checking, you can show a button (or another interface element) in the game, which, when pressed, will call the shortcut addition dialog. To call the dialog, use the ysdk.shortcut.show_prompt() method:

ysdk.shortcut.show_prompt(function (self, accepted)
  if accepted then
    -- Here you can reward the user for adding a shortcut
  end
end)
