With Laravel Share you can generate these links in just seconds in a way tailored for Laravel. ### Available services [](#available-services) - Facebook - X(Twitter) - Linkedin - WhatsApp - Reddit - Telegram Installation via composer: -------------------------- [](#installation-via-composer) ``` composer require alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons ``` If you don't use auto-discovery, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php ``` // config/app.php 'providers' => [ Alfthegreates\Share\Providers\ShareServiceProvider::class, ]; ``` And optionally add the facade in config/app.php ``` // config/app.php 'aliases' => [ 'Share' => Alfthegreatest\Share\ShareFacade::class, ]; ``` Publish the package config & resource files. ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Alfthegreatest\Share\Providers\ShareServiceProvider" ``` > You might need to republish the config file when updating to a newer version of Laravel Share This will publish the `laravel-share.php` config file to your config folder, `share.js` in `public/js/` and `laravel-share.php` in your `resources/lang/vendor/en/` folder. ### Fontawesome [](#fontawesome) Since this package relies on Fontawesome, you will have to require it's css, js & fonts in your app. You can do that by requesting a embed code [via their website](http://fontawesome.io/get-started/) or by installing it locally in your project. Laravel share supports Font Awesome v5. For Font Awsome 4 support use version \[3\] of this package. ### Javascript [](#javascript) Load jquery.min.js & share.js by adding the following lines to your template files. ``` ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Creating one share link [](#creating-one-share-link) #### Facebook [](#facebook) ``` Share::page('https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons')->facebook(); ``` #### X(Twitter) [](#xtwitter) ``` Share::page('https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons', 'Your share text can be placed here')->x(); ``` #### Reddit [](#reddit) ``` Share::page('https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons', 'Your share text can be placed here')->reddit(); ``` #### Linkedin [](#linkedin) ``` Share::page('https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons', 'Share title')->linkedin('Extra linkedin summary can be passed here') ``` #### Whatsapp [](#whatsapp) ``` Share::page('https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons')->whatsapp() ``` #### Telegram [](#telegram) ``` Share::page('https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons', 'Your share text can be placed here')->telegram(); ``` ### Sharing the current url [](#sharing-the-current-url) Instead of manually passing an url, you can opt to use the `currentPage` function. ``` Share::currentPage()->facebook(); ``` ### Creating multiple share Links [](#creating-multiple-share-links) If want multiple share links for (multiple) providers you can just chain the methods like this. ``` Share::page('https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons', 'Share title') ->facebook() ->x() ->linkedin('Extra linkedin summary can be passed here') ->whatsapp(); ``` This will generate the following html ``` ``` ### Getting the raw links [](#getting-the-raw-links) In some cases you may only need the raw links without any html, you can get these by calling the `getRawLinks` method. **A single link** ``` Share::page('https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons', 'Share title') ->facebook() ->getRawLinks(); ``` Outputs: ``` https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons ``` **Multiple links** ``` Share::page('https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons', 'Share title') ->facebook() ->x() ->linkedin('Extra linkedin summary can be passed here') ->whatsapp() ->getRawLinks(); ``` Outputs: ``` [ "facebook" => "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons", "x" => "https://x.com/intent/tweet?text=Share+title&url=https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons", "linkedin" => "http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons&title=Share+title&summary=Extra+linkedin+summary+can+be+passed+here", "whatsapp" => "https://wa.me/?text=https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons", ] ``` ### Optional parameters [](#optional-parameters) #### Add extra classes, id's or titles to the social buttons [](#add-extra-classes-ids-or-titles-to-the-social-buttons) You can simply add extra class(es), id('s), title(s) or relationship(s) by passing an array as the third parameter on the page method. ``` Share::page('https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons', null, ['class' => 'my-class', 'id' => 'my-id', 'title' => 'my-title', 'rel' => 'nofollow noopener noreferrer']) ->facebook(); ``` Which will result in the following html ``` ``` #### Custom wrapping [](#custom-wrapping) By default social links will be wrapped in the following html ``` ``` This can be customised by passing the prefix & suffix as a parameter. ``` Share::page('https://github.com/alfthegreatest/laravel_social-share-buttons', null, [], '', '') ->facebook(); ``` This will output the following html. ``` ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
