Viber

Viber is a messaging app and bot platform. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate Viber URL scheme links for bot and Chat Extension workflows.

Usage

There are two ways to use this library:

• On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
• Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.

Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.
