Mobile Native Share

Mobile Native Share adds a native share button to Drupal entities, leveraging the Web Share API with graceful fallbacks for unsupported browsers.

Features

• Provides a configurable share button for multiple entity types.
• Works out of the box with nodes, taxonomy terms, and comments.
• Extendable to additional entity types (e.g. paragraphs or custom) via hook_mobile_native_share_entity_types_alter.
• Graceful fallback logic - uses Web Share API when available, falls back to Clipboard API or prompt dialog otherwise
• Configurable title and description per bundle of entity.
• Global configuration for icon and style.
• Token support for dynamic values in titles and descriptions.
• Theme suggestions for entity type and bundle, allowing easy template overrides.

Developer API

The module provides a dedicated, heavily optimized rendering service (mobile_native_share.renderer). Developers can easily inject this service via Dependency Injection or call it directly via the \Drupal wrapper to generate the share button programmatically for custom blocks, controllers, or bespoke routes:

// 1. Render using a specific entity (node, term, etc.)
$share_button = \Drupal::service('mobile_native_share.renderer')->render($entity);

// 2. Or render without an entity (will automatically fallback to the current page title and URL)
$share_button = \Drupal::service('mobile_native_share.renderer')->render();

Configuration

1. Navigate to Configuration → Search and metadata → Mobile Native Share or go directly to /admin/config/search/mobile-native-share.
2. Enable the share button for the required entity types and bundles.
3. Configure display options:Title and Description per entity/bundle (supports tokens), global Icon and Style settings.
4. Adjust display modes to control where the share button appears.

Use cases

• Add a native share button to articles, taxonomy pages, or comment threads.
• Extend sharing to custom entities like paragraphs or bespoke content types.
• Ensure consistent UX across modern and legacy browsers.
