README

Social Profile Links for Laravel

This Laravel package provides easy-to-use functionalities to generate social media profile URLs and render social icon links directly in your Laravel applications.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require daikazu/social-links

Optionally, you can publish the views using

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="social-links-views"

Usage

Generating Social Profile URLs

You can generate a URL for a social media profile using the social_url helper function. Here's how you can use it:

Using Strings (Legacy Approach)

$url = social_url('facebook', 'username');

Replace 'facebook' with the desired platform and 'username' with the user's social media profile username.

Using Enums (Recommended)

You can also use the SocialNetwork enum for better type safety and IDE autocompletion:

use Daikazu\SocialLinks\Enums\SocialNetwork;

$url = social_url(SocialNetwork::FACEBOOK, 'username');

// Or directly from the enum
$url = SocialNetwork::FACEBOOK->getUrl('username');

Displaying Social Icons

To display a social icon link, use the Blade component included in the package. Here's an example:

Using Strings (Legacy Approach)

<x-social-links::social-link platform="facebook" name="username" icon-styles="size-12 hover:text-red-500 fill-current"/>

Using Enums (Recommended)

use Daikazu\SocialLinks\Enums\SocialNetwork;

// In your controller or view composer
$platform = SocialNetwork::FACEBOOK;

// In your Blade view
<x-social-links::social-link :platform="$platform" name="username" icon-styles="size-12 hover:text-red-500 fill-current"/>

Adjust the platform, name, and icon-styles attributes as necessary to fit your needs.
