Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

NativeScript Social Share Plugin

A NativeScript plugin to use the native social sharing widget on Android and iOS. Currently this module supports image and text sharing.

Installation

Run the following command from the root of your project:

$ tns plugin add nativescript-social-share

This command automatically installs the necessary files, as well as stores nativescript-social-share as a dependency in your project's package.json file.

Usage

To use the social share module you must first require() it. After you require() the module you have access to its APIs.

// ------------ JavaScript ------------------
var SocialShare = require("nativescript-social-share");

// ------------- TypeScript ------------------
import * as SocialShare from "nativescript-social-share";

API

shareImage(ImageSource image, [optional] String subject)

The shareImage() method expects an ImageSource object. The code below loads an image from the app and invokes the share widget with it:

// ------------ JavaScript ------------------
var SocialShare = require("nativescript-social-share");
var imageSourceModule = require("image-source");

var image = imageSourceModule.fromFile("~/path/to/myImage.jpg");
SocialShare.shareImage(image);

// ------------- TypeScript ------------------
import * as SocialShare from "nativescript-social-share";
import { ImageSource } from "image-source";

let image = ImageSource.fromFile("~/path/to/myImage.jpg");
SocialShare.shareImage(image);

You can optionally provide a second argument to configure the subject on Android:

SocialShare.shareImage(image, "How would you like to share this image?");

shareText(String text, [optional] String subject)

The shareText() method expects a simple string:

SocialShare.shareText("I love NativeScript!");

Like shareImage(), you can optionally pass shareText() a second argument to configure the subject on Android:

SocialShare.shareText("I love NativeScript!", "How would you like to share this text?");

shareUrl(String url, String text, [optional] String subject)

The shareUrl() method excepts a url and a string.

SocialShare.shareUrl("https://www.nativescript.org/", "Home of NativeScript");

You can optionally pass shareUrl() a second argument to configure the subject on Android:

SocialShare.shareUrl("https://www.nativescript.org/", "Home of NativeScript", "How would you like to share this url?");
