react-share-on-social

:smiling_face_with_three_hearts::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::money_mouth_face::sunglasses::partying_face:

Native sharing if supported, beautiful fallback if not.

A ~8kb package for effortless social media sharing, originally forked from react-web-share.

Features

• Uses the Web Share API for supported browsers
• Copy to clipboard functionality using copy-to-clipboard
• Uses React Portal to render the component outside the parent DOM hierarchy

Installation

npm install react-share-on-social

or, if you're using yarn:

yarn add react-share-on-social

Usage

Passing the linkFavicon prop drastically improves UX for devices that use the fallback. Without linkFavicon, the fallback renders a grey box instead.

Note: The Web Share API only works in secure contexts (HTTPS). Read more here.

import React from "react";
import ShareOnSocial from "react-share-on-social";
import favicon from "../assets/favicon.png";

const Example = () => {
  return (
    <ShareOnSocial
      textToShare="Check out this new wardrobe I just found from IKEA!"
      link="https://ikea.com/wardrobes/kalle"
      linkTitle="KALLE Wardorbe which chooses your clothes for you using AI - IKEA"
      linkMetaDesc="Stop going through the agony of choosing clothes that fit the weather and your mood."
      linkFavicon={favicon}
      noReferer
    >
      <button>Share this product</button>
    </ShareOnSocial>
  );
};

Required props

Optional props

Supported socials

The supported props are passed in the sharing URL to each service, and will appear in the post draft.

What is the difference between react-share-on-social and react-web-share?

• The fallback is more rich with a header and an improved copy-to-clipboard functionality

• Props are restructured for better usability

• Pinterest is supported

• Social media services are opened in a minimal window instead of a new tab
