Methods

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((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);
});

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 used for sharing.
