New Sharethis implementation and Turbolinks' incompatibility about turbolinks-compatibility

[amenon]

The new sharethis implementation does not have an official JS API. I was able to reinitialize the share buttons on new pages, by calling the library's init method after turbolinks loads the page:

    document.addEventListener("turbolinks:load", function () {
        // Note: This is undocumented API for the sharethis widget. Reload the widget when we
        // visit a new page after a turbolinks load event.
        if (__sharethis__ && __sharethis__.config) {
            __sharethis__.init(__sharethis__.config);
        }
    })

Well, the butons show up and that great BUT...

The current url is not properly updated. If I click Twitter (or any other) button, the Twitter page will open but the embeded URL is the one stored when the code has loaded (usually the home page) not the current page location.

UPDATE:

Just update the sharethis.href BEFORE calling sharethis.init

So:

   document.addEventListener("turbolinks:load", function () {
        // Note: This is undocumented API for the sharethis widget. Reload the widget when we
        // visit a new page after a turbolinks load event.
        if (__sharethis__ && __sharethis__.config) {
           __sharethis__.href = document.location.href 
           __sharethis__.init(__sharethis__.config);
        }
    })
