Getting started

Step 1: Add required files from dist directory

Download the package from this repository and include needsharebutton.min.js and needsharebutton.min.css.

<!-- needPopup Javascript file -->
<script src="js/needsharebutton.min.js"></script>
<!-- needPopup CSS file -->
<link href="css/needsharebutton.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

###Step 2: Create HTML markup

Create an empty element, which will be the wrapper of our button and dropdown. You can add data-attributes to easily configure script.

<span id="share-button" class="need-share-button-default"></span>

Step 3: Call needShareButton initialization

Just place new needShareDropdown(document.getElementById('share-button')); in your javascript code.

new needShareDropdown(document.getElementById('share-button'));

Customization

There are two ways to set settings.

The first way is to add data-attributes with data-share prefix.

<div id="share-button" class="need-share-button-default" data-share-icon-style="box" data-share-networks="Mailto,Twitter,Pinterest,Facebook,GooglePlus,Linkedin"></div>

The second way is to send settings object with script initialization.

new needShareDropdown(document.getElementById('share-button'), {
  iconStyle: 'box',
  boxForm: 'vertical',
  networks: 'Mailto,Twitter,Pinterest,Facebook,GooglePlus,Linkedin'
});

To use your own stylized button to trigger social share dropdown, you need to put custom element inside wrapper and set shareButtonClass option

<div id="share-button" class="need-share-button-default" data-share-position="topCenter" data-share-share-button-class="custom-button"><span class="custom-button"><i class="share-icon"></i> Custom Share Button</span></div>

That's all. Please, enjoy to use.
