# [`sharingbuttons.io`](http://sharingbuttons.io)

A web app to quickly generate social sharing buttons that do not track the user.

Built using `React.js` and utilising the `Flux` application architecture.

## Getting up and running

After cloning this repository, run `npm install` in the root directory to install the dependencies. As soon as all of them are installed, you can `npm start` in the root directory and open `0.0.0.0:3000` in your browser to see your local copy of the app.

## Structure

The main part of the application is rendered in the `App` component found at `js/components/App.react.js`. All of the components can dispatch actions to change things.

### Actions

The following actions are available:

* `AppActions.toggleNetwork(network)` - Toggles a social network on/off

* `AppActions.setURL(url)` - Sets the shared URL

* `AppActions.setText(text)` - Sets the shared text

* `AppActions.changeSize(size)` - Changes the size of the buttons

* `AppActions.changeIcon(type)` - Changes the icon type

For a more in-depth documentation of the available actions, have a look at the AppActions found at `js/actions/AppActions.js`. All of these actions get picked up by the `AppStore`, found at `js/stores/AppStore.js`. The AppStore then changes the data and emits that it changed, which prompts the app to rerender with the new data.

To define a new action, first add the action type to the `AppConstants` (`js/constants/AppConstants.js`), then pick up the dispatched action in the `AppStore.AppDispatcher.register()` function and change something according to the action.

### Components

The app is split up across 6 components, all found in `js/components`. The following components are rendered:

* `App.react.js` - The root component that renders the rest of the application. Contains most of the static text found on the page.

* `Generator.react.js` - Renders the Generator.

* `SelectionButton.react.js` - Renders the options of the Generator.

* `GeneratorCode.react.js` - Renders the code to be copied.

* `GeneratorPreview.react.js` - Renders the preview page.

* `Header.react.js` - Renders the header.

* `PreviewButton.react.js` - Renders a preview button.

* `Footer.react.js` - Renders the footer.
