Nativescript social-share

ns plugin add @nativescript/social-share

Usage

To use the social share module you must first require() it. After you require() the module you have access to its APIs.

// ------------ JavaScript ------------------
var SocialShare = require("@nativescript/social-share");

// ------------- TypeScript ------------------
import * as SocialShare from "@nativescript/social-share";

API

shareImage(ImageSource image, [optional] String subject)

The shareImage() method expects an ImageSource object. The code below loads an image from the app and invokes the share widget with it:

// ------------ JavaScript ------------------
var SocialShare = require("@nativescript/social-share");
var imageSourceModule = require("@nativescript/core");

var image = imageSourceModule.fromFile("~/path/to/myImage.jpg");
SocialShare.shareImage(image);

// ------------- TypeScript ------------------
import * as SocialShare from "@nativescript/social-share";
import { ImageSource } from "@nativescript/core";

let image = ImageSource.fromFile("~/path/to/myImage.jpg");
SocialShare.shareImage(image);

You can optionally provide a second argument to configure the subject on Android:

SocialShare.shareImage(image, "How would you like to share this image?");

shareText(String text, [optional] String subject)

The shareText() method expects a simple string:

SocialShare.shareText("I love NativeScript!");

Like shareImage(), you can optionally pass shareText() a second argument to configure the subject on Android:

SocialShare.shareText("I love NativeScript!", "How would you like to share this text?");

shareUrl(String url, String text, [optional] String subject)

The shareUrl() method excepts a url and a string.

SocialShare.shareUrl("https://www.nativescript.org/", "Home of NativeScript");

You can optionally pass shareUrl() a second argument to configure the subject on Android:

SocialShare.shareUrl("https://www.nativescript.org/", "Home of NativeScript", "How would you like to share this url?");
