Earlier this week, I walked through how to build a “copy to clipboard” button using HTML Web Components.
Over on my YouTube channel, I ended up working on a similar project: how to build a “Share This” button.
This one uses the navigator.share() method: an asynchronous function that triggers the OS-native share card in supporting browsers.
In this video, you’ll see me…
- Add basic functionality
- Check for browser support
- Add accessibility features
- Provides options and settings for customization
You can grab the full source code on GitHub, and watch on YouTube to see me code it in real-time.
Need front-end help but don't need a full-time employee? I now offer subscription front-end engineering. Ship faster and build better systems. Pause or cancel any time.
Cheers,
Chris
