                })

Custom Share

To register a custom share add it to jsSocials.shares registry.

This is how the twitter share is defined:

jsSocials.shares.twitter = {
    label: "Tweet",
    logo: "fa fa-twitter",
    shareUrl: "https://twitter.com/share?url={url}&text={text}&via={via}&hashtags={hashtags}",
    countUrl: "https://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url={url}&callback=?",
    getCount: function(data) {
        return data.count;
    }
};

If you wish to get your share styling for all supported themes, add its name and color to _shares.scss and build css.

Currently _shares.scss contains following collections:

$share-names: ('twitter', 'facebook', 'googleplus', 'linkedin', 'pinterest', 'email', 'stumbleupon', 'whatsapp', 'telegram', 'line', 'viber', 'pocket', 'messenger', 'vkontakte', 'rss');
$share-colors: (#00aced, #3b5998, #dd4b39, #007bb6, #cb2027, #3490F3, #eb4823, #29a628, #2ca5e0, #25af00, #7b519d, #ef4056, #0084ff, #45668e, #ff9900);

Each share has following parameters:

label :String

The default value of share label to display on the share button.

logo :String

A default value of share logo. Accepts css class or image url.

shareUrl :String|function()

A string or a function returning a string specifying the sharing url. It can contain any parameters in curly braces {param}. These parameters will be taken from share config. The {url} and {text} parameters are taken from jsSocials config.

countUrl :String|function()

A string or a function returning a string specifying the url to request shares count. It can contain any parameters in curly braces {param}. These parameters will be taken from share config. The {url} parameter is taken from jsSocials config. The countUrl option should be specified only if you are going to show share count (showCount is not false).

getCount :function(data)

A function retrieving count value from response received from countUrl. Accepts response data. The response data is used as count if function is not specified. If getCount returns a number, it will be formatted (e.g. 1200 to 1.2K). Return a string value to avoid automatic formatting.

Adaptiveness

Options showLabel and showCount accept function(screenWidth) that has screen width as an input parameter and returns the value specifying whether to show label (or count).

By default showLabel function returns following values:

  • true for all screens wider than 1024px (large screen)
  • true for all screens wider than 640px (small screen) when showCount is false
  • false in all other cases

By default showCount function returns following values:

  • true for all screens wider than 640px (small screen)
  • "inside" for all screens with width less than 640px (small screen)

These breakpoints are defined with jsSocials config options:

{
    smallScreenWidth: 640,
    largeScreenWidth: 1024
}

Thus these breakpoint values can be redefined in jsSocials config.

The adaptive behavior can be easily redefined with custom showLabel and showCount functions.

In this example we show counter for all screens wider than 1024px hiding count for other screens, and show label for screens wider 1280px hiding for other screens:

$("#share").jsSocials({
    showCount: function(screenWidth) {
        return (screenWidth > 1024);
    },
    
    showLabel: function(screenWidth) {
        return (screenWidth > 1280);
    },
    
    ...
});

Custom Share Strategy

version added: 1.2

A custom share strategy can be used to redefine standard behavior of sharing or customize rendering of a sharing control.
The sharing strategy is a function that accepts a single parameter { shareUrl: "http://your.share.url" } and should return a jQuery element. It should be added to jsSocials.shareStrategies hash.

In the following example we define a sharing strategy that shares in a browser window with custom params and instead of link <a> uses custom <div> element:

jsSocials.shareStrategies["my_popup"] = function(args) {
    return $("<div>").click(function() {
            window.open(args.shareUrl, "MyShareWindow", 
                "width=800, height=600, location=1, resizeable=1, menubar=0, scrollbars=0, status=0, titlebar=0, toolbar=0");
        });
};

$("#share").jsSocials({
    shareIn: "my_popup",
    shares: ["twitter", "facebook", "googleplus"]
});
