Native sharing mechanism for web 🤳🏼

Do you know you can build the same share functionality as android and ios?

Have you ever wanted to share a webpage with someone on social media or via email, but found it too tedious to copy and paste the URL? Well, good news! With the native sharing mechanism for the web, you can easily share web content with just a few clicks.

There is a very nice API Navigator.share() which we can use for sharing resources on the web, and trust me it will work the same as ios and android.

Please note share targets depend on what kind of device you are using (use your mobile phone)

Here is the code for that

if(navigator.share){
async () => {
  try {
    await navigator.share(shareData); //the data you want share
    resultPara.textContent = 'Shared successfully';
   } catch (err) {
    resultPara.textContent = `Error: ${err}`;
   }
  }
}

if you want the complete code check out the code pen link.

I hope you learn something new today. :)
