Custom url protocol for OSX desktop app using electron by atom

Question

I am new to dekstop app by electron. However i built a desktop app using this source code and just changing the links to my site. Now I have a functional desktop app for mac.

But i want to open my app using a link say appName://and-some-link-follows

How can i implement custom url schema to open dekstop app whenever i click appName://....

For example: I want to do something like Slack desktop app which opens up by clicking slack://and-some-link

Any help please. Stuck here for 2 days. Thanks in advance.

I found it.

1. Do a build for your app
2. Right click -> show package content
3. In info.plist add the following

4. Open app once to register customURL into system.

In terminal enter /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -dump|egrep "(bindings.*:$)"|sort to check wheather yours is in the list.
