How to open external url using WKWEBVIEW - swift

Question

I have an app which for example the domain is hello.example.com, but when the user click on a link which is example.com/example it has to open it as external link. I am using swift 5 and WKwebview
I have this code, but I need that when the url contains hello, the url opens in the webview otherwise open safari, but it doesn't work. I am looking for url contains something like that but i did not find something useful for my case.
I have this code , but obviously does not do what I need.
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: #escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) {
if let url = navigationAction.request.url {
if url.host != "example.com" {
UIApplication.shared.open(url)
decisionHandler(.cancel)
return
}
}
decisionHandler(.allow)
}

You were on the right track.
Replace if url.host != "example.com" with if url.path.contains(…) and it should work.
Using url.path.contains(…) we can check the existence of a given string.
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: #escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) {
if let url = navigationAction.request.url {
let trigger = "example" // or "hello"
if url.path.contains(trigger) {
UIApplication.shared.open(url)
decisionHandler(.cancel)
return
}
}
decisionHandler(.allow)
}
