A simple but robust social media share module that facilitates sharing content on some of the world's most popular social networks.

• Ease of Use: Simple API for integrating social sharing buttons.
• Customizable: Extensible styles and properties.
• Support for Multiple Platforms: Includes support for multiple platforms.
• Mobile Support: Detects mobile devices to optimize sharing links.

This module includes components for sharing via:

• Facebook
• WhatsApp
• Twitter
• LinkedIn
• Pinterest
• Telegram
• Email
• Print

The plan is to expand these components to accommodate other social media platforms. In the meantime, you can also extend the components yourself through a simple API.

npm install react-quick-share

or if you prefer yarn,

yarn add  react-quick-share

Simply import the component you want and wrap your child node with it. This gives you the power to decide exactly how your share component should look. The child node could be a simple text - as in the examples used here, an icon component, or a custom component. You only need to pass in the url you want to share.

If you do not pass the url prop, the component will share the url of the page where you render it.

import { Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp } from 'react-quick-share';

export const SocialMediaShare = () => {
    const url = 'www.the-url-you-want-to-share.com';

    return (
        <>
            <Facebook url={url}>
                <span className="up-to-you">Facebook</span>
            </Facebook>
            <Twitter url={url}>
                <span className="up-to-you">Twitter</span>
            </Twitter>
            <Whatsapp url={url}>
                <span className="up-to-you">Whatsapp</span>
            </Whatsapp>
        </>
    );
};

If you need to share to a social media domain not already supported out-of-the-box, you will need the extendShare object and the createSocialShareButton function. The extendShare object accepts a key of the name of the new domain, and an object value that contains shareType set to link, and url set to the new domain's share endpoint.

The createSocialShareButton component takes the newDomain string as argument.

import { extendShare, createSocialShareButton } from 'react-quick-share';

extendShare.newDomain = {
    shareType: 'link',
    url: 'https://www.newDomain.com/sharing/?url=',
};

const MyCustomShareButton = createSocialShareButton('newDomain');

export const SocialMediaShare = () => {
    const url = 'www.the-url-you-want-to-share.com';

    return <MyCustomShareButton url={url}>Share on My Domain</MyCustomShareButton>;
};

Each share button component accepts the following props along with regular ButtonHTMLAttributes:

In some rare cases you may want to style these base components to achieve certain stylistic goals. In that case you will need to create and pass in your styles object as a style prop.

However, it is best to simply wrap the react-quick-share components with your own appropriately styled components. You can also pass your custom components as children to the react-quick-share components.

import { Facebook, Twitter } from 'react-quick-share';

const style = {
    borderRadius: '4px',
    boxShadow: '0 3px 5px 2px rgba(255, 105, 135, .3)',
};

export const SocialMediaShare = () => {
    const url = 'www.the-url-you-want-to-share.com';

    return (
        <>
            <!-- wrap the share components with your own component -->
            <span className="up-to-you">
                <Twitter url={url} style={style}>
                Twitter
                </Twitter>
            </span>

            <!-- pass your own components as children -->
            <Facebook url={url} style={style}>
                <span className="up-to-you">Facebook</span>
            </Facebook>
        <>
    );
};
