Share Button Directive

Convert any element to a share button using [shareButton] directive.

Installation

NPM

npm i ngx-sharebuttons @angular/cdk

Usage

Import ShareModule in your module

import { ShareModule } from 'ngx-sharebuttons';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ShareModule
  ]
})

The most basic usage to create a share button is shareButton={{buttonName}} on a button

<button shareButton="facebook">Share</button>
<button shareButton="twitter">Tweet</button>
<button shareButton="pinterest">Pin</button>

To get the default icons and colors, you can get a reference to the share button directive and access its color directly from the template

<button mat-fab shareButton="facebook" #fbBtn="shareButton"
        [style.backgroundColor]="fbBtn?.color">
  <fa-icon *ngIf="fbBtn.icon" [icon]="fbBtn.icon"></fa-icon>
</button>

<button mat-fab shareButton="twitter" #twtBtn="shareButton" 
        [style.backgroundColor]="twtBtn?.color">
  <fa-icon *ngIf="twtBtn.icon" [icon]="twtBtn.icon"></fa-icon>
</button>
