JS-Share - social and messengers sharing

Easy to use social media share library. This project is intended to help you integrate sharing within your code.

Key features

• Small size
• Vanilla javascript
• No dependency
• IE9+, Chrome, Safari, Firefox support
• CSS styling is up to you
• Supports AMD/CommonJS

Installation

Package Managers

JavaScript Share supports npm under the name js-share.

npm install js-share --save

Direct download

Download the script here and include it (unless you are packaging scripts somehow else):

<script src="/path/to/jsshare.js"></script>

Do not include the script directly from GitHub (http://raw.github.com/...). The file is being served as text/plain and as such being blocked in Internet Explorer on Windows 7 for instance (because of the wrong MIME type). Bottom line: GitHub is not a CDN.

Module Loaders

JavaScript Share can also be loaded as an AMD or CommonJS module.
