What is it?
Shareon are share buttons for popular social networks.
Unlike many other share buttons, Shareon are:
-
lightweight, clocking in at only 6 KB brotlied code (JS+CSS),
-
stylish, using official vector logos and colours with no
visual mess, and
-
ethical, since they do not insert any pesky tracking code.
The whole JavaScript code is quick and simple: it only populates the
buttons with share links. This makes Shareon the perfect choice for
your blog, news site, or project page!
Install
Simply load the needed files from the CDN:
<link
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/shareon@2/dist/shareon.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
>
<script
src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/shareon@2/dist/shareon.iife.js"
defer
init
></script>
or install it via NPM and bundle it in a JS file:
import * as Shareon from "shareon";
import "shareon/css";
Shareon.init();
Usage
Create a container with class shareon
and populate it
with elements, class names of which match the names of the social
networks:
<div class="shareon">
<a class="facebook"></a>
<a class="linkedin"></a>
<a class="mastodon"></a>
<!-- FB App ID is required for the Messenger button to function -->
<a class="messenger" data-fb-app-id="0123456789012345"></a>
<a class="odnoklassniki"></a>
<a class="pinterest"></a>
<a class="pocket"></a>
<a class="reddit"></a>
<a class="teams"></a>
<a class="telegram"></a>
<a class="tumblr"></a>
<a class="twitter"></a>
<a class="viber"></a>
<a class="vkontakte"></a>
<a class="whatsapp"></a>
<a class="copy-url"></a>
</div>
You can customize the shared URL and page title with
data-
attributes:
<div class="shareon" data-url="https://custom.url/for-this-page">
<a class="facebook" data-title="Custom Facebook title"></a>
<a class="twitter" data-title="Custom Twitter title"></a>
</div>
