Compiled and production-ready code can be found in the dist directory. The src directory contains development code.

If you're not using the Kraken boilerplate, you might also need to include button styling.

Branded Buttons

A few simple classes turn button and a elements into branded social media buttons.

<a class="btn-tweet" href="#">Twitter</a>
<a class="btn-facebook" href="#">Facebook</a>
<a class="btn-google" href="#">Google+</a>
<a class="btn-linkedin" href="#">LinkedIn</a>
<a class="btn-pinterest" href="#">Pinterest</a>
<a class="btn-github" href="#">GitHub</a>
<a class="btn-vk" href="#">VK</a>
<a class="btn-xing" href="#">Xing</a>
<a class="btn-tumblr" href="#">Tumblr</a>
<a class="btn-reddit" href="#">Reddit</a>

Sharing Links

To include sharing links for Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn and more, just add your URL's and titles where indicated in these snippets. Combine with the branded buttons for sharing buttons.

<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=YOUR-TITLE&url=YOUR-URL&via=TWITTER-HANDLE">Tweet</a>

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=YOUR-URL">Share on Facebook</a>

<a target="_blank" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=YOUR-URL">Plus on Google+</a>

And that's it, you're done. Nice work!

You can install Social Sharing with your favorite package manager.

• NPM: npm install cferdinandi/social-sharing
• Bower: bower install https://github.com/cferdinandi/social-sharing.git
• Component: component install cferdinandi/social-sharing

If you would prefer, you can work with the development code in the src directory using the included Gulp build system. This compiles, lints, and minifies code, and runs unit tests. It's the same build system that's used by Kraken, so it includes some unnecessary tasks and Sass variables but can be dropped right in to the boilerplate without any configuration.

Make sure these are installed first.

• Node.js
• Gulp sudo npm install -g gulp

1. In bash/terminal/command line, cd into your project directory.
2. Run npm install to install required files.
3. When it's done installing, run one of the task runners to get going:
   • gulp manually compiles files.
   • gulp watch automatically compiles files when changes are made and applies changes using LiveReload.

Social Sharing works in all modern browsers, and IE 6 and above.

In lieu of a formal style guide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Please apply fixes to both the development and production code. Don't forget to update the version number, and when applicable, the documentation.
