Web Share API polyfill for Cordova
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-web-share --save
- iOS
- Android
Plugin polyfills stadards-based Web Share API to trigger native platform-specific dialogs. The first argument in navigator.share is an options object, that might have title, text and url properties (all optional).
navigator.share({
title: "Share topic",
text: "Share message",
url: "Share url"
}).then(() => {
console.log("Data was shared successfully");
}).catch((err) => {
console.error("Share failed:", err.message);
});Method returns a Promise object that resolved on success.
Additionally to the standard, the plugin detects which activity was used to share. Resolved value is an array of selected activity names:
navigator.share({...}).then((packageNames) => {
if (packageNames.length > 0) {
console.log("Shared successfully with activity", packageNames[0]);
} else {
console.log("Share was aborted");
}
}).catch((err) => {
console.error("Share failed:", err.message);
});
