fabiomux / share_with

Ruby library to print sharing link towards the most popular networks and configurable through YAML files.

ShareWith

This is a Ruby gem thought to render the sharing links for the most popular networks.

ShareWith also introduces a syntax, built upon a YAML file, to declare parameters and templates, and elements to self-describe the service itself.

This YAML file will be used to generate the object that renders the templates in plain HTML text.

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add share_with

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install share_with

Usage

As first step must require the gem:

require "share_with"

Then we can instantiate the Collection class and the list of services to load:

@collection = ShareWith::Collection.new(services: ["twitter", "facebook"])

Once filled the params required to render the template:

@collection.set_value_to_all("url", "https://freeaptitude.altervista.org/projects/share-with.html")

Finally we get the HTML code as a text string:

@collection.render_all("icon")
