npm install react-share --save

Browser

ShareButtons work on all browsers.

ShareCounts works on all browsers, with the exception of Goolge Plus share count working only on IE11 and newer (XHR CORS problem).

Compatibility

Compatible with React versions 0.13.x and 0.14.x.

API

import {
  ShareButtons,
  ShareCounts,
  generateShareIcon
} from 'react-share';

Share buttons

const {
  FacebookShareButton,
  GooglePlusShareButton,
  LinkedinShareButton,
  TwitterShareButton
} = ShareButtons;

Required props for all:

• children: A React node (e.g. string or element)
• url: URL of the shared page (string)

Required props for LinkedinShareButton, TwitterShareButton and FacebookShareButton:

• title: Title of the shared page (string)

Share counts

const {
  FacebookShareCount,
  GooglePlusShareCount,
  LinkedinShareCount,
  TwitterShareCount
} = ShareCounts;

All share count components take in only one mandatory prop: url, which is the URL you are sharing. className prop is optional.

Example:

<TwitterShareCount url={shareUrl} />

If you want to render anything else but the count, you can provide a function as a child element that takes in shareCount as an argument and returns an element:

<TwitterShareCount url={shareUrl}>
  {shareCount => (
    <span className="myShareCountWrapper">{shareCount}</span>
  )}
</TwitterShareCount>

Icons

const FacebookIcon = generateShareIcon('facebook');
const TwitterIcon = generateShareIcon('twitter');
const GooglePlusIcon = generateShareIcon('google');
const LinkedinIcon = generateShareIcon('linkedin');

Props:

• size: Icon size in pixels (number)
• round: Whether to show round or rect icons (bool)

Example:

<TwitterIcon size={32} round={true} />
