README

The enflow/laravel-social-share package provides an easy way to add social share links to your templates:

The main advantage of implementing it this way instead of using a service like AddThis, is this doesn't use any JavaScript and does not have any privacy concerns.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require enflow/laravel-social-share

The package will auto-register. You may add the SocialShareFacade to your app.aliases array:

'SocialShare' => \Enflow\SocialShare\SocialShareFacade::class,

CSS

This package includes a CSS file for deafult styling. You can copy this file to your own CSS structure and modify it, or import it in your app.css / app.scss file to use the default variant. The advantage of including it is that it will be automatically updated if changes are made in upcoming versions.

@import "../../vendor/enflow/laravel-social-share/dist/css/social-share.css";

Usage

You can use the Facade in your templates as follows:

{{ SocialShare::facebook()->x()->linkedin()->whatsapp()->render() }}

You can chain multiple services next to each other. The following services are currently supported. Pull requests are welcome to expand this.

Facebook
X (previously Twitter)
LinkedIn
WhatsApp
Pinterest
Reddit
Telegram
Email
Twitter (deprecated) - automatically replaced with x

You can increase the size or set styling options as follows:

{{ SocialShare::facebook()->square()->render() }} // Style: square
{{ SocialShare::facebook()->rounded()->render() }} // Style: rounded (default)
{{ SocialShare::facebook()->circle()->render() }} // Style: circle
{{ SocialShare::facebook()->normal()->render() }} // Normal size (default)
{{ SocialShare::facebook()->large()->render() }} // Large size

You may want to pass along text to the different sharing options. This text will be appended to the current URL:

{{ SocialShare::facebook()->text($page->title)->render() }}

You can combine all options:

{{ SocialShare::facebook()->x()->reddit()->square()->large()->text('Lorem ipsum!')->render() }}

Config

You can publish the config to tweak the services and their colors.

Pushing the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Enflow\SocialShare\SocialShareServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Testing

$ composer test
