Jekyll-Share

This is a Jekyll plugin that provides the Liquid tags to render the sharing services links through the ShareWith gem.

Using the config section, or defining variables from within the layout template, the target fields can be customized entirely.

Can install the gem either manually or using Bundler.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add jekyll-share-plugin --group jekyll_plugins

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install jekyll-share-plugin

Then, add the following code within the Gemfile of your Jekyll project:

```ruby
group :jekyll_plugins do
  ...
  gem 'jekyll-share-plugin'
end
```

Inside the _config.yml file, set up some or all of the following fields under the jekyll-share section:

```yaml
jekyll-share:
  paths:
  - $HOME/.jekyll-share/services
  mappings:
    twitter:hashtags: '@tags'
    email:subject: '@title'
    # These variables below must be setup in your layout file
    twitter:related: '@related'
    linkedin:summary: '@summary'
    pinterest:media_url: '@media_url'
    email:body: '@str_body'
  post_selector: include.post
  groups:
    default:
      wrappers:
        service_start: '<li class="list-inline-item">'
        service_end: '</li>'
        group_start: '<ul class="list-inline">'
        group_end: '</ul>'
      extend_with:
      - icons.font_awesome
      icon_size: 'medium'
      template: 'icon'
      services:
      - twitter
      - facebook
      - linkedin
      - reddit

```

paths : It is the path where other services can be found

mappings : Associate the not standard params with the variables within the layout or include template, or as a field part of the front matter in the current document.

post_selector : This is how the script will read the post data inside a paginator layout.

groups : Define the groups of services to render, every group can specify other parameters:

wrappers : Defines the HTML tags that wrap the group of links or the single link.

extend_with : This implementes the extensions provided by share_with gem.

icon_size : The size of the icons among the ones defined by share_with.

Jekyll-Share provides two Liquid tags that can be used to render the service links:

{% share_single name='email' %}

share_group : Recall the group of services as specified in the .config.yml file.

{% share_group name='default' icon_size=icon_size %}
