How to give next line in text attribute of navigator.share method

[@MsDeadasdodo]

hey, looking for a solution, as whole internet did not give me an answer... when user *cancels* the sharing action sheet used (i.e. instead of picking an app to share via, they close the sheet by clicking outside or slide it down) the promise is NOT resolved. it resolves as an error but only on another click on the trigger link. this causes a lot of trouble on my side as you can imagine, as neither error or success handling gets triggered

[@TheSanjay1234]

hey, I'm trying to use this api but I'm getting an error "Failed to execute 'share' on 'Navigator': Must be handling a user gesture to perform a share request" on an android browser and I couldn't find any solution for this. could you please help me out on this?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

It means that you can't call the method unless your code is triggered by a user action. If the user clicks on something then you can call a function that does the share.

Can you do video on web share target api to share to a PWA?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

As far as I know you can't share to a PWA. A PWA is still a website, which means that app you share to is the browser.

[@fourteensierra]

Two years later and still unofficial with less than 50% support. Bummer, I wonder why?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

caniuse says Safari is the only official support. However, web.dev/web-share/ the Google Developer site says it is supported for PWAs which means Chrome, FF, Opera, and now Chromium Edge too.

How to change "Share Via" with whatever i want?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

This API still does not have decent support in the browsers.

[@edwinfernando1270]

Will this work with PHP? Cause I tried it, it was working with HTML, but now after creating my site(using PHP) it's not working. That shouldn't be the issue I think, but still need some sort of confirmation.

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

It still has extremely limited support unfortuately - caniuse.com/web-share It's for client-side only scripting. You can't call it from the server.

[@Gorr1995]

hm "can I use" show the different result as You are showing here

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

It changes over time. This video is two years old.

[@AlazTetik]

Still not supported by majority (at the end of 2020)

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

Yep. ☹

[@Chapaez]

is it possible to share image?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

You can share whatever url you want. The url can point to anything

[@suvendubiswal6820]

I need only point video why you all get this type of unusefull video I don't know,,, i want to share only images and videos to social platforms that's it if u know any good api then mention or go away

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

Every social platform has its own API. If you want to be able to upload your own content to them then you need to learn their APIs.

[@suvendubiswal6820]

@@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3 Thank you sir, sorry for being rude and for my rude comment because no api was working fine in my project so. Finally sorry.
