react-simple-share

Add social media sharing buttons to your React app for a number of popular social media sites.

This component leverages the URL sharing features of each service, so no third-party code needs to be loaded. This results in less network requests and a better loading experience for your users.

Supported networks:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Tumblr
• Reddit
• Pinterest
• LinkedIn
• Google+

By default, the buttons will share the link to the current page. However, you can pass in a custom prop for a specific URL instead (along with some other customization options, too).

Installation

Use npm to install:

npm install react-simple-share --save

Or, if you're using yarn:

yarn add react-simple-share
