Convert any button to a share button using this directive, it is very useful for integration with Material/Bootstrap or your existing button style.

Usage:

<button [shareButton]="'facebook'"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></button>
<button [shareButton]="'twitter'" [sbUrl]="'https://example.com'" [sbTags]="'angular awesomeness'">
  Tweet
</button>
<button [shareButton]="'pinterest'" [sbImage]="image" [sbDescription]="description">
    Pin it!
</button>

Options:

  • [sbUrl]: If URL is not valid or not presented, it will use your page title (window.location.href)
