Usage

shareon was heavily inspired by Likely, and has a backwards-compatible API (excluding themes and sizes).

Create a container with class shareon and populate it with elements, whose classes match the names of social networks:

<div class="shareon">
    <a class="facebook"></a>
    <a class="messenger"></a>
    <a class="pinterest"></a>
    <a class="telegram"></a>
    <a class="twitter"></a>
    <a class="vkontakte"></a>
    <a class="whatsapp"></a>
</div>

If you use <a>, the buttons will get a href-attribute to them. In other cases they will get a listener on click event, so you can use <button>s if you wish.

By default the URL and the title of the page will be used in sharing dialogs. To change this, you can use the data-url and data-title attributes. Use them on the whole container or on the specific buttons:

<div class="shareon" data-url="https://example.com">
    <a class="facebook" data-title="Custom Facebook title"></a>
    <a class="twitter" data-title="Custom Twitter title"></a>
</div>

Apart from the URL and title, some networks support extra parameters:

  • add data-media to a Pinterest or VK button to customize the pinned picture
  • add data-text to a WhatsApp or Telegram button to add custom message text
  • add data-via to a Twitter button to mention a user

Here are all the custom parameters in their glory:

<div class="shareon" data-url="https://example.com/custom-url">
    <a class="facebook" data-title="Custom Facebook title"></a>
    <a class="messenger" data-url="https://my-cool-website.com"></a>
    <a class="pinterest" data-media="https://picsum.photos/500">Pin</a>
    <a class="telegram" data-text="Check this out!"></a>
    <a class="twitter" data-via="MyNickname"></a>
    <a class="whatsapp">Send</a>
</div>
