Customization ------------- [](#customization) Publish the package config: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider='Chencha\Share\ShareServiceProvider' ``` Add a new service in config/social-share.php: ``` 'mynewservice' => [ 'view' => 'share.mynewservice' ] ``` Add Blade templating code in *share.mynewservice* view file to generate a URL for *mynewservice*. You have access to: - service - the service definition (shown above). - sep - separator used between parameters, defaults to '&'. Configurable as *social-share.separator*. - url - the URL being shared. - title - the title being shared. - media - media link being shared. Example: ``` https://mynewservice.example.com?url={{ rawurlencode($url) }}title={{ rawurlencode("Check this out! $title. See it here: $url") }} ``` Another example for the *email* service. Change the service config to be *\[ 'view' => 'whatever' \]* and put this in the view file: ``` mailto:?subject={{ rawurlencode("Wow, check this: $title") }}body={{ rawurlencode("Check this out! $title. See it here: $url") }} ``` Localizing? Easy, use Laravel's trans() call: ``` mailto:?subject={{ rawurlencode(trans('share.email-subject', compact('url', 'title', 'media'))) }}body={{ rawurlencode(trans('share.email-body', compact('url', 'title', 'media'))) }} ``` Create a file at resources/lang/en/share.php with your choice of subject and body. URLs arguably have a maximum length of 2000 characters. Notice the use of . It's the only way to print out an unencoded ampersand (if configured that way). ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 68.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~93 days Recently: every ~44 days Total 7 Last Release 3543d ago PHP version history (3 changes)5PHP >=5.3.0 5.1.0PHP >=5.6.0 5.2.0PHP >=5.4.0 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/07b416c8ebc8ff341bc61164970eec2a9bcc0ffa00a7250603985a762d2f7593?d=identicon)[hilioski](/maintainers/hilioski) --- Top Contributors [![datashaman](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/59514?v=4)](https://github.com/datashaman "datashaman (24 commits)")[![prodeveloper](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1224225?v=4)](https://github.com/prodeveloper "prodeveloper (11 commits)") --- Tags laravelgeneratorsociallaravel5metashareog ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/hilioski-social-share-and-meta-generator/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/hilioski-social-share-and-meta-generator/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/hilioski-social-share-and-meta-generator) ``` ### Alternatives [brexis/laravel-workflow Integerate Symfony Workflow component into Laravel. 283125.6k](/packages/brexis-laravel-workflow)[torann/laravel-meta-tags A package to manage Header Meta Tags 65273.3k4](/packages/torann-laravel-meta-tags)[dcblogdev/laravel-module-generator Generate Laravel Modules from a template. 7710.1k1](/packages/dcblogdev-laravel-module-generator)[ryannielson/shareable A Laravel 4 package to make it easy to add social sharing buttons to your application. 222.8k](/packages/ryannielson-shareable)[linkxtr/laravel-qrcode A clean, modern, and easy-to-use QR code generator for Laravel 295.1k](/packages/linkxtr-laravel-qrcode)[fomvasss/laravel-meta-tags A package to manage SEO (meta-tags, xml-fields, etc.) 3028.9k](/packages/fomvasss-laravel-meta-tags) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
