GitHub - ayda-tech/react-share-lite: react-share-lite is a simple and easy-to-use library for adding social media share buttons to your React & Next applications.

React-Share-Lite

react-share-lite is a simple and easy-to-use library for adding social media share buttons to your React, Next and Preact applications. With react-share-lite, you can quickly integrate share buttons for popular social media platforms such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, and more.

react-share-lite ships share buttons only — it does not include share-count components. If you want share count functionality in your React, Next.js, or Preact projects built with JavaScript and TypeScript, react-share-kit is the solution. It seamlessly enhances your applications, allowing users to easily track the popularity of your content.

✨ What's new in v2.0.0

⚛️ React 19 ready — works with React 17, 18 and 19, including Next.js App Router server components.
🆕 New networks: XShare (the canonical X/Twitter button), BlueskyShare and ThreadsShare.
🎨 Styleable at last — className, style and all other standard button attributes are forwarded to the underlying <button>.
🧹 Dead networks removed: PocketShare (Pocket was shut down in July 2025) and WorkplaceShare (Meta Workplace was discontinued).

See the CHANGELOG for the full list, including breaking changes.

Requirements: React 17, 18 or 19.

Installation

To install react-share-lite, simply run:

npm install react-share-lite

or

yarn add react-share-lite

📕 Share Button Global Props

Each button supports a set of global props that are consistent across all buttons. However, in addition to these global props, each button also possesses its own unique set of specific properties. These specific properties are tailored to the individual functionality and customization options of each button.

Props	Type	Default	Description	Required
url	string		The URL of the shared page.	TRUE
title	string		The title of the shared page.	FALSE
windowWidth	number	550	Opened window width.	FALSE
windowHeight	number	400	Opened window height.	FALSE
windowPosition	string	windowCenter	Position of the share window: `windowCenter` or `screenCenter`.	FALSE
blankTarget	boolean	false	Open share window in a new tab if set to `true` (opened with `noopener,noreferrer`).	FALSE
bgColor	string	related color	Icon background color.	FALSE
round	boolean	false	The "round" attribute creates a fully circular button shape, giving it a 100% rounded appearance.	FALSE
borderRadius	number	0px	Custom round share.	FALSE
size	number	64px	The button size.	FALSE
buttonTitle	string		The title of button used instead of icon.	FALSE
style	CSSProperties		Custom style for the underlying `button` element.	FALSE
iconStyle	CSSProperties		Custom style for the icon.	FALSE
iconFillColor	string		Icon fill color.	FALSE
disabled	boolean	false	Disables the click action and applies `disabledStyle`.	FALSE
disabledStyle	CSSProperties	{ opacity: 0.6 }	Style applied to the button when `disabled` is `true`.	FALSE
openShareDialogOnClick	boolean	true	Open the share dialog on click.	FALSE
onClick	function		Custom click handler, called with `(event, shareLink)`.	FALSE
beforeOnClick	function		Takes a function that returns a Promise to be fulfilled before opening the share dialog.	FALSE
onShareWindowClose	function		Takes a function to be called after closing the share dialog.	FALSE
resetButtonStyle	boolean	true	Set to `false` to keep the browser's default `button` styling.	FALSE
forwardedRef	Ref		Ref forwarded to the underlying `button` element.	FALSE

💅 Styling: All standard button HTML attributes — className, style, aria-*, data-*, event handlers, etc. — are forwarded to the underlying <button> element, so you can style the buttons with your own CSS classes:

<FacebookShare url={shareUrl} className="my-share-button" data-testid="fb-share" />

👨‍💻 Example

import React from 'react'
import { FacebookShare } from 'react-share-lite'

const ShareButtons = () => {
  const shareUrl = 'https://github.com/ayda-tech/react-share-lite'
  const title = 'Check out this awesome website!'

  return <FacebookShare url={shareUrl} quote={title} />
}

FAQ

Why doesn't my shared link show an image preview?

Link previews (image, title, description) are generated by the social network from the Open Graph / Twitter Card meta tags of the shared page itself — not by this library. If a preview is missing or wrong, add the proper og:* / twitter:* meta tags to the page you are sharing.
