Buffer

Each sharer component has its own

data-*

attributes. Checkout specific elements below based on each social media site.

All sharer objects can accept the following attributes:

data-title - sharer text
data-url - url to be shared
data-width - popup width
data-height - popup height
data-link - share element will work as a link
data-blank (requires data-link combined) - share element will work as a link in a new tab

Manual event binding

Manual event binding is now supported from versions 0.3.1 and above through the window.Sharer object.

You can now dynamically bind share events using the sharer.js library. Example using jQuery:

                
$(elem).on('click', function() {
    // add new buttons with share behaviour
    $('#someDiv').append('<button class="twitter" data-title="Some button" data-url="somesite.com"></button>');
    window.Sharer.init();
})
