Methods

Plugin polyfills stadards-based Web Share API to trigger native platform-specific dialogs. The first argument in navigator.share is an options object, that might have title, text and url properties (all optional).

navigator.share({
    title: "Share topic",
    text: "Share message",
    url: "Share url"
}).then(() => {
    console.log("Data was shared successfully");
}).catch((err) => {
    console.error("Share failed:", err.message);
});

Method returns a Promise object that resolved on success.

Additionally to the standard, the plugin detects which activity was used to share. Resolved value is an array of selected activity names:

navigator.share({...}).then((packageNames) => {
    if (packageNames.length > 0) {
        console.log("Shared successfully with activity", packageNames[0]);
    } else {
        console.log("Share was aborted");
    }
}).catch((err) => {
    console.error("Share failed:", err.message);
});
