Best Practices

  • Don't use the share tool with a page's related sections
  • Implement any "stickiness" and placement functionality on the platform the component is being used in
  • For larger screens, ease-in opacity from 0% to 100% on scroll. The placement should be lower right-hand side and fixed until the main page content is scrolled pass
  • Don't have the fixed position of the component overlap any "related content"
  {% include "@bolt-components-share/share.twig" with {
  sources: [
    {
      name: "facebook",
      url: "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://boltdesignsystem.com&amp;src=sdkpreparse"
    },
    {
      name: "twitter",
      url: "https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://boltdesignsystem.com&text=Sample%20Share%20Text&via=pega&hashtags=boltDesignSystemRocks!"
    },
    {
      name: "linkedin",
      url: "https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?url=https://boltdesignsystem.com"
    },
    {
      name: "email",

    }
