Version Support

This is an advanced plugin and due to that it works on videojs versions 6+ see here.

Installation

npm install --save videojs-share

Usage

To include videojs-share on your website or web application, use any of the following methods.

<script> Tag

This is the simplest case. Get the script in whatever way you prefer and include the plugin after you include video.js, so that the videojs global is available.

<script src="//path/to/video.min.js"></script>
<script src="//path/to/videojs-share.min.js"></script>

Browserify/CommonJS

When using with Browserify, install videojs-share via npm and require the plugin as you would any other module.

var videojs = require('video.js');

// The actual plugin function is exported by this module, but it is also
// attached to the `Player.prototype`; so, there is no need to assign it
// to a variable.
require('videojs-share');

RequireJS/AMD

When using with RequireJS (or another AMD library), get the script in whatever way you prefer and require the plugin as you normally would:

require(['video.js', 'videojs-share'], function(videojs) {
  var player = videojs('my-video');

  player.share();
});

Plugin initialization

var player = videojs('my-video');

var shareOptions = {
  socials: ['fb', 'tw', 'reddit', 'gp', 'messenger', 'linkedin', 'telegram', 'whatsapp', 'viber', 'vk', 'ok', 'mail'],

  url: window.location.href,
