sharingbuttons.io

A web app to quickly generate social sharing buttons that do not track the user.

Built using React.js and utilising the Flux application architecture.

Getting up and running

After cloning this repository, run npm install in the root directory to install the dependencies. As soon as all of them are installed, you can npm start in the root directory and open 0.0.0.0:3000 in your browser to see your local copy of the app.

Structure

The main part of the application is rendered in the App component found at js/components/App.react.js. All of the components can dispatch actions to change things.

Actions

The following actions are available:

• AppActions.toggleNetwork(network) - Toggles a social network on/off

• AppActions.setURL(url) - Sets the shared URL

• AppActions.setText(text) - Sets the shared text

• AppActions.changeSize(size) - Changes the size of the buttons

• AppActions.changeIcon(type) - Changes the icon type

For a more in-depth documentation of the available actions, have a look at the AppActions found at js/actions/AppActions.js. All of these actions get picked up by the AppStore, found at js/stores/AppStore.js. The AppStore then changes the data and emits that it changed, which prompts the app to rerender with the new data.

To define a new action, first add the action type to the AppConstants (js/constants/AppConstants.js), then pick up the dispatched action in the AppStore.AppDispatcher.register() function and change something according to the action.

Components

The app is split up across 6 components, all found in js/components. The following components are rendered:

• App.react.js - The root component that renders the rest of the application. Contains most of the static text found on the page.

• Generator.react.js - Renders the Generator.

• SelectionButton.react.js - Renders the options of the Generator.

• GeneratorCode.react.js - Renders the code to be copied.

• GeneratorPreview.react.js - Renders the preview page.

• Header.react.js - Renders the header.

• PreviewButton.react.js - Renders a preview button.

• Footer.react.js - Renders the footer.
