Install documentation for Rails 6

[samerawada92]

Any documentation on the setup of this gem on a rails 6 application? Mainly requiring the CSS/JS files.

Requiring the CSS isn't a problem, just add the following line to your application.css file:
*= require social-share-button

However, I couldn't find a way to import the JS files. I tried to add require("social-share-button")in the javascript/application.js file but I get the following error:

Error: Cannot find module 'social-share-button'

Yes, same issue here.

I guess this gem is not maintained?

@nicolrx did you find a workaround?

I did my own setup with font-awesome icons ;)

This is for the .scss file
What about importing the JS files when using webpack in rails 6?

Here's the solution for rails 6

@samerawada92 @ja-meel

1. run rails webpacker:install:erb, it will generate a hello_erb.js.erb in javascript/pack folder, you can easily change it into social-share-button.js.erb

2. edit social-share-button.js.erb and copy paste the following line.

import "<%= File.join(Gem.loaded_specs['social-share-button'].full_gem_path, 'app', 'assets', 'javascripts', 'social-share-button.coffee') %>"

3. run rails webpacker:install:coffee, it will also generate a hello_coffee.coffee file which you can delete or ignore it.

4. edit application.js file under app/javascript/packs, add the following line

require('packs/social-share-button.js.erb')

5. restart rails server, then it should work.

Thanks. Following this I ended with the error Uncaught ReferenceError: SocialShareButton is not defined at HTMLAnchorElement.onclick when clicking Share button

Any idea what could be wrong?

edit application.js file under app/javascript/packs, add the following line

require('packs/social-share-button.js.erb')

I'm having an issue getting the css working. JS works fine after following the steps above. https://github.com/ruby-china/homeland/blob/master/app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss#L4 doesn't exist anymore. I've tried with the usual *= require social-share-button but i'm using Rails 6. Thanks

I found this which might help someone https://github.com/Bunlong/rails-social-share-button/blob/master/app/assets/stylesheets/rails-social-share-button.css.erb

First, thanks for the above solution, it really helped :)
One more thing nevertheless, it doesn't work with coffee-loader v2.0.0.
If any trouble, use this gem version in your Gemfile:

"coffee-loader": "^1.0.1",
