Social Microshare Buttons

v0.0.5

Customizable social media buttons for microsharing content on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Pinterest, compiled with Browserify.

First, install this repo as a Node module:

npm install TimeMagazine/social-buttons

var social = require("social-buttons");

var fb = social.facebook(_your_facebook_app_id_);
var tw = social.twitter();
var li = social.linkedin();
var pn = social.pinterest();

You can either make your own buttons or use the ones in the template.html, which include some styling;

Custom share example

$("body").on("click", "#fbbutton", function() {
    fb.share({
        title: "I got Carmela on this @TIME quiz!",
        description: "See which member of the Sopranos you are.",
        image: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/25/CarmelaSoprano.jpg"
        link: "http://time.com/sopranosquiz" // not a real thing
    });
});

Every social function takes a title argument and an optional link argument. The URL to the page will automatically be used for link if none is otherwise provided. Facebook and LinkedIn can take a description field as well while Facebook and Pinterest require an image argument as a URL.
