facebook(), twitter(), linkedIn()

all three take the same params:

url <string> URL to share description <?string> optional description (only supported for twitter ATM, other providers won't break, it just won't affect the) extraParams <?array> K/V string pairs of other params to append to the url

{# get an intent URL #}
{{ craft.sharingIntents.facebook(entry.url) }}
