What is it?
</h2>
<p>
<code>shareon</code> are share buttons for popular social networks.
</p>
<div class="shareon" data-title="shareon — lightweight, stylish and ethical share buttons"
style="text-align: center">
<a class="facebook"></a>
<a class="linkedin"></a>
<a class="mastodon" data-via="@NickKaramoff@fosstodon.org"></a>
<a class="messenger" data-fb-app-id="3619024578167617"></a>
<a class="odnoklassniki"></a>
<a class="pinterest"></a>
<a class="pocket"></a>
<a class="reddit"></a>
<a class="telegram"></a>
<a class="twitter" data-via="NickKaramoff"></a>
<a class="viber"></a>
<a class="vkontakte"></a>
<a class="whatsapp"></a>
</div>
<p>
Unlike many other share buttons, <code>shareon</code> are:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>lightweight</b>, clocking in at only 6 KB gzipped code (JS+CSS)</li>
<li><b>stylish</b>, by having no visual features other than official colors and logos</li>
<li><b>ethical</b>, since they do not insert any pesky tracking code</li>
</ul>
<p>
The whole JavaScript code is quick and simple: it only populates the buttons with set up links. The
speed
and easy customization make <code>shareon</code> the perfect choice for your blog, news site or project
page!

<a id="install" href="#install" aria-hidden="true"></a>
Install
</h2>
<p>
Include the link to shareon's JS and CSS in your website:
</p>
<pre><code>&lt;link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/shareon@1/dist/shareon.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"&gt;
&lt;script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/shareon@1/dist/shareon.min.js"
type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code></pre>
<p>or install it via NPM and use it in a JS file that you will later bundle:</p>
<pre><code>const shareon = require('shareon');</code></pre>
<pre><code>import shareon from 'shareon';</code></pre>
</article>
<article>
<h2>
<a id="initialization" href="#initialization" aria-hidden="true"></a>
Initialization
</h2>
<p>
By default, shareon will initialize every button after page load.
It also exports the <code>shareon</code> function, that will let
you repopulate your buttons with updated information (for example,
if you changed the page title):
</p>
<pre><code>// shareon auto-initializes
window.title = "Cool new window title";
shareon();</code></pre>
<p>
If you want to postpone the initialization, you can import the
<code>noinit</code>-version of the package. You'll need to
manually call the <code>shareon</code> function when you want the
buttons to be initialized:
</p>
<pre><code>&lt;!-- notice the 'noinit' section of the url for JS --&gt;
&lt;script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/shareon@1/dist/noinit/shareon.min.js"
type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/shareon@1/dist/shareon.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
// do something important
shareon();
&lt;/script&gt;</code></pre>
<p>
or, if you're using Node:
</p>
<pre><code>const shareon = require('shareon');
// or
import shareon from 'shareon';
// do something important
shareon();</code></pre>

Usage
</h2>
<aside>
<p>
<code>shareon</code> was heavily inspired by
<a href="https://ilyabirman.net/projects/likely/">Likely</a>,
and has a backwards-compatible API
</p>
</aside>
<p>
Create a container with class <code>shareon</code> and populate it with elements, whose classes match
the
names of social networks:
</p>
<pre><code>&lt;div class="shareon"&gt;
&lt;a class="facebook"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="linkedin"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="mastodon"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;!-- FB App ID is required for the Messenger button to function --&gt;
&lt;a class="messenger" data-fb-app-id="0123456789012345"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="odnoklassniki"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="pinterest"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="pocket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;button class="reddit"&gt;&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;button class="telegram"&gt;&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;button class="twitter"&gt;&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;button class="viber"&gt;&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;button class="vkontakte"&gt;&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;button class="whatsapp"&gt;&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
<div class="shareon">
<a class="facebook"></a>
<a class="linkedin"></a>
<a class="mastodon"></a>
<a class="messenger" data-fb-app-id="3619024578167617"></a>
<a class="odnoklassniki"></a>
<a class="pinterest"></a>
<a class="pocket"></a>
<button class="reddit"></button>
<button class="telegram"></button>
<button class="twitter"></button>
<button class="viber"></button>
<button class="vkontakte"></button>
<button class="whatsapp"></button>
</div>
<p>
If you use <code>&lt;a&gt;</code>, the buttons will get a `href`-attribute to them. In other cases they
will get a listener on <code>click</code> event, so you can use <code>&lt;button&gt;</code>s if you
wish.
</p>
<p>
By default, the URL and the title of the page will be used in sharing dialogs. To change this, you can
use
the <code>data-url</code> and <code>data-title</code> attributes. Use them on the whole container or on
the specific buttons:
</p>
<pre><code>&lt;div class="shareon" data-url="https://example.com"&gt;
&lt;a class="whatsapp" data-title="Custom WhatsApp title"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="twitter" data-title="Custom Twitter title"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
<div class="shareon" data-url="https://example.com">
<a class="whatsapp" data-title="Custom WhatsApp title"></a>
<a class="twitter" data-title="Custom Twitter title"></a>
</div>
<p>
Apart from the URL and title, some networks support extra parameters:
</p>
<ul>
<li>you <strong>have to</strong> add <code>data-fb-app-id</code> to the FB Messenger button to make sharing even possible</li>
<li>add <code>data-media</code> to an Odnoklassniki, Pinterest, or VK button to customize the pinned picture</li>
<li>add <code>data-text</code> to a WhatsApp, Mastodon, Telegram, or Viber button to add custom message text</li>
<li>add <code>data-via</code> to a Twitter or Mastodon button to mention a user</li>
</ul>
<p>
Here are all the custom parameters in their glory:
</p>
<pre><code>&lt;div class="shareon" data-url="https://example.com/custom-url"&gt;
&lt;a class="facebook" data-title="Custom Facebook title"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="messenger" data-fb-app-id="0123456789012345"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="pinterest" data-media="https://picsum.photos/500"&gt;Pin&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="telegram" data-text="Check this out!"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="twitter" data-via="MyNickname"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="mastodon" data-via="@MyNickname@myserver.social"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a class="whatsapp" data-url="https://my-cool-website.com"&gt;Send&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div></code></pre>
<div class="shareon" data-url="https://example.com/custom-url">
<a class="facebook" data-title="Custom Facebook title"></a>
<a class="messenger" data-fb-app-id="3619024578167617"></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="mastodon" data-via="@MyNickname@myserver.social"></a>
<a class="whatsapp" data-url="https://my-cool-website.com">Send</a>
