# ShareSelectedText.js
*share selected text on twitter, buffer, and some others. Inspired by [medium.com](https://medium.com)*

I made this small javascript library for [my personal blog](http://vincent-loy.fr), the existing
libraries doesn't fit my needs, so I created that one.
ShareSelectedText.js currently support the following social medias & services:
- twitter
- buffer
- reddit
- stumbleupon
- tumblr
- digg
- linkedin
- facebook
*You can open an issue or follow [the contribution guidelines](#contribution-guidelines) if you want to add another service or social media*
## Getting started
Add the CSS file (you have to put the `dist/fonts` directory and the `shareSelectedText.min.css` file in the same directory)
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/shareSelectedText.min.css"/>
```
Add the Javascript file before `body` HTML closing tag.
```html
<script src="dist/shareSelectedText.js"></script>
```
Then, you can init the plugin :
```javascript
// plugin initialization with default options
shareSelectedText('.my-super-selector', {
tooltipClass: '', // cool, if you want to customize the tooltip
sanitize: true, // will sanitize the user selection to respect the Twitter Max length (recommended)
buttons: [ // services that you want to enable you can add :
'twitter', // - twitter, tumblr, buffer, stumbleupon, digg, reddit, linkedin, facebook
'buffer'
],
anchorsClass: '', // class given to each tooltip's links
twitterUsername: '', // for twitter widget, will add 'via @twitterUsername' at the end of the tweet.
facebookAppID: '', // Can also be an HTML element inside the <head> tag of your page : <meta property="fb:APP_ID" content="YOUR_APP_ID"/>
facebookDisplayMode: 'popup', //can be 'popup' || 'page'
tooltipTimeout: 250 //Timeout before that the tooltip appear in ms
});
```

## Contribution Guidelines
To contribute please consider to respect the following rules:
- Work in a different branch, well named, based on current `develop` branch (I personally use [git-flow](http://danielkummer.github.io/git-flow-cheatsheet/)).
- respect the `.erLintrc` rules.
- If you add a new social media or service:
- add the service or social media SVG icon in dev/icons
- compile the font using [fontcustom](https://github.com/FontCustom/fontcustom) install fontcustom the run `fontcustom compile` in the icons directory, the run `gulp build:copy:fonts` in project root directory.
- Don't forget to add service's name and url.
- small changes are better than huge changes.
And don't forget that you are awesome!
