vue-social-sharing is a render-less Vue js component for sharing links to social networks. It is also compatible with SSR. You can view its demo here

What is a renderless component?

Renderless components give you the highest possible control over your markup and styling. This means that vue-social-sharing ship with minimal HTML and no CSS to let you adapt the look and feel of the components to your needs.

Understanding social sharing

Before using this package it is important to understand how Social Networks handle sharing links on their platform. When you share a link on a Social Network, the Social Network will crawl the link to detect Open Graph meta tags. If you share links that do not contain Open Graph meta tags, the Social Network will not be able to display rich content for your link. You can refer to the Available properties section of the documentation to check which Social networks accept which properties without Open Graph tags.

Installation

You can install this component via Npm Or Yarn:

yarn add vue-social-sharing

Or

npm install --save vue-social-sharing

Vue 3 support

Vue 3 support is available in Alpha build, you can try it with the following command:

//Yarn
yarn add vue-social-sharing@next

//NPM
npm install --save vue-social-sharing@next

Remember that this is an alpha build, not all features are available yet and you will certainly encounter some bugs.

  networks: {
    fakeblock: 'https://fakeblock.com/share?url=@url&title=@title'
  }
