Preview

Share Buttons — live renderblocks-sharebuttons--variants

Rendered from the story the storybook (a11y) CI gate runs axe against — the preview can't show something that hasn't been verified.

Install

Two equivalent paths — the URL works in any shadcn-CLI setup; the alias works once you've registered @interlace in your components.json.

Via shadcn URL
npx shadcn@latest add https://ds.interlace.tools/r/share-buttons.json
With the @interlace alias
npx shadcn@latest add @interlace/share-buttons

History

This component is at v1.1.0, first shipped in @interlace/ui 1.0.0. The version is stamped as a banner into the file the install writes, so the copy in your tree says which one you have — compare it with the number above before deciding whether to re-run the install.

Import

3 named exports — pull the parts you need.

Public API
import { MIN_VIEWPORT, ShareButtons, ShareNetwork } from '@/components/ui/patterns/share-buttons';

Anatomy

Extracted from the primitive's JSDoc header. The source is the only documentation that can't drift.

ShareButtons                       (Cluster — data-min-viewport=320)
    ├─ <a>   Button variant=ghost size=sm  (twitter — lucide Send icon)
    ├─ <a>   Button variant=ghost size=sm  (bluesky — lucide Cloud icon)
    ├─ <a>   Button variant=ghost size=sm  (linkedin — lucide Briefcase icon)
    └─ <button> Button variant=ghost size=sm  (copy — Copy / Check icon)
The three network glyphs are generic lucide icons, not the networks' own
brand marks — lucide ships no Twitter/X, Bluesky or LinkedIn logo, and the
`aria-label` (`"Share on Twitter"`) is what actually names each button.

API reference

Parsed from the type declarations in the source — the same file the install writes into your tree, so this table can't drift from the component you get.

ShareButtonsProps

Also accepts every <div> attribute.

PropTypeDescription
url*stringThe canonical URL being shared.
title*stringPage / post title — used as prefilled share text.
networksReadonlyArray<ShareNetwork>Which networks to render and in what order. Defaults to all four: `['twitter', 'bluesky', 'linkedin', 'copy']`.

Accessibility

Every story for this component is rendered headlessly and checked with axe-core (wcag2aa, wcag22aa, best-practice, ACT) on every PR. That gate has no continue-on-error, so what ships has zero known violations.

What follows is what static analysis can see. Axe cannot press a key and never sees an overlay open, so the operable-without-a-mouse claim lives in Behavior instead, where the keyboard path is replayed step by step.

Focus + keyboard behaviour
Native element semantics — no interaction layer to get wrong.
Focus ring (WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.13)
Not focusable — no focus indicator required.
Reduced motion
No animation to gate.
ARIA in the source
  • aria-label
  • aria-live

R-rule compliance

Every primitive in @interlace/ui models to the portable 26-rule floor enforced by the componentApi ESLint preset. The cells below pin exactly where each rule applies in this file.

Minimum viewport

This primitive declares MIN_VIEWPORT = 320 CSS px (DESIGN_PRINCIPLES #14). When mounted in a container narrower than this, the preflight contract draws a dev-mode outline so the regression is visible during local development.

Opt-in to the dev-mode warning
<body data-interlace-dev>...</body>

Add the data-interlace-dev attribute to the body in development builds only — preflight then outlines any primitive whose container is below its declared data-min-viewport.
