I'm trying to add social sharing funtionallity (facebook, mail, etc) to my winjs application, but can't find the built in functionallity for it.
In a C#/ VB app, there is ShareLinkTask, but I can't find it for winjs. It should be possible since winjs can access phone functionallity.
You have to get the DataTransferManager
for the current view first and add a listener to datarequested
event. When this event triggers you can specify what data you want to share.
var dataTransferManager =
Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.DataTransferManager.getForCurrentView();
dataTransferManager.addEventListener("datarequested", dataRequested);
...
function dataRequested(e) {
var request = e.request;
request.data.properties.title = 'a title';
request.data.setText('Some text');
};
More on this sample here...
To show the share functionality from anywhere in your app just add a handler for the click event to an element and show the UI.
document.getElementById("share").addEventListener("click", function () {
Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.DataTransferManager.showShareUI();
}, false);
All info you need to share other things, like HTML can be found at the MSDN.
