<strong>Installation Guide</strong><a class="tag is-success ml-2" href="{% post_path demo/share/AddThis %}">Preview</a>
</div>

1. Register for [AddThis](https://www.addthis.com/). 
   Select the "Share Buttons" on the "Select a Tool" page after submitting the registration form.

   {% img "box px-0 py-0 ml-auto mr-auto" /gallery/screenshots/addthis-select-tool.png 360 '"Select Tool - AddThis" "Select Tool - AddThis"' %}
   <br>

2. Select the style and buttons on the "Select a Tool Type" page and click "Continue".

   {% img "box px-0 py-0 ml-auto mr-auto" /gallery/screenshots/addthis-select-tool-type.png 360 '"Select Tool Type - AddThis" "Select Tool Type - AddThis"' %}
   <br>

3. Make further customizations on the next page and click the "Activate Tool" button when finished.

   {% img "box px-0 py-0 ml-auto mr-auto" /gallery/screenshots/addthis-customize-share.png 360 '"Customize Share Buttons - AddThis" "Customize Share Buttons - AddThis"' %}
   <br>

4. Find the HTML code from the "Get The Code" page, copy the URL in the `src` attribute to the share button configuration. 

   {% img "box px-0 py-0 ml-auto mr-auto" /gallery/screenshots/addthis-get-code.png 360 '"Get Code - AddThis" "Get Code - AddThis"' %}
   <br>
   
   For example, the URL in the following AddThis code:

    {% codeblock "AddThis Code" lang:html %}
    <!-- Go to www.addthis.com/dashboard to customize your tools -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-xxxxxxxxxxxxx"></script>
    {% endcodeblock %}

    maps to the following theme configuration:

    {% codeblock themes/icarus/_config.yml lang:yaml %}
    share:
        type: addthis
        install_url: //s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-xxxxxxxxxxxxx
    {% endcodeblock %}


## AddToAny

<div>
<strong>Installation Guide</strong><a class="tag is-success ml-2" href="{% post_path demo/share/AddToAny %}">Preview</a>
</div>

1. You can activate AddToAny without user registration.
   Just put the following code to your theme configurations:

    {% codeblock themes/icarus/_config.yml lang:yaml %}
    share:
        type: addtoany
    {% endcodeblock %}

Take the following steps if you want to customize the share buttons:

1. Visit [AddToAny](https://www.addtoany.com/)
   official site and click on the "Get the Share Button".

2. Then, select "Any Website" and complete the configuration of the buttons.

   {% img "box px-0 py-0 ml-auto mr-auto" /gallery/screenshots/addtoany-select-platform.png 360 '"Select Platform - AddToAny" "Select Platform - AddToAny"' %}
   <br>

3. Click "Get Button Code" after you finish.

   {% img "box px-0 py-0 ml-auto mr-auto" /gallery/screenshots/addtoany-get-code.png 360 '"Get Code - AddToAny" "Get Code - AddToAny"' %}
   <br>

4. Since the share buttons of Icarus is provided by 
   [ppoffice/hexo-component-inferno](https://github.com/ppoffice/hexo-component-inferno),
   You need to copy the layout file 
   ([src/view/share/addtoany.jsx](https://github.com/ppoffice/hexo-component-inferno/blob/0.2.2/src/view/share/addtoany.jsx)) 
   of AddToAny from this repository
   to `themes/icarus/layout/share/addtoany.jsx`.
   Then, replace the AddToAny code in `addtoany.jsx` and fix the package import in the file header.

   For example, assume the following code is what you get from the last step:

    {% codeblock "AddToAny Code" lang:html >folded %}
    <!-- AddToAny BEGIN -->
    <div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 a2a_default_style">
    <a class="a2a_dd" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a>
    <a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a>
    <a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a>
    <a class="a2a_button_email"></a>
    </div>
    <script async src="https://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"></script>
    <!-- AddToAny END -->
    {% endcodeblock %}

    You should make the following changes to `addtoany.jsx`:

    {% codeblock themes/icarus/layout/share/addtoany.jsx lang:diff >folded %}
    const { Component, Fragment } = require('inferno');
    - const { cacheComponent } = require('../../util/cache');
    + const { cacheComponent } = require('hexo-component-inferno/lib/util/cache');

    ...Some code is skipped here...

    class AddToAny extends Component {
        render() {
            return <Fragment>
    -           <div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 a2a_default_style">
    -               <a class="a2a_dd" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a>
    -               <a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a>
    -               <a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a>
    -               <a class="a2a_button_telegram"></a>
    -               <a class="a2a_button_whatsapp"></a>
    -               <a class="a2a_button_reddit"></a>
    -           </div>
    -           <script src="https://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js" defer={true}></script>
    +           <!-- AddToAny HTML code you just got... -->
    +           <div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 a2a_default_style">
    +               <a class="a2a_dd" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a>
    +               <a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a>
    +               <a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a>
    +               <a class="a2a_button_email"></a>
    +           </div>
    +           <script async src="https://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"></script>
            </Fragment>;
        }
    }

    ...The following code is skipped here...
    {% endcodeblock %}
