});

    </social-sharing>
</some-component>

Note that the social_shares_close event is not fired for the Whatsapp, SMS and Email sharers.

Extending the network list

Since version 2.3.1 you can extend and override the list of available networks by passing the additional networks as attribute. You can see a working example of the feature in the examples/vue2-example.html file:

<social-sharing :networks="overriddenNetworks" inline-template>
    <div>
        <network network="custom">
            Custom network
        </network>
    </div>
</social-sharing>

<script>
    ...
    
    new Vue({
      data: {
        overriddenNetworks: {
          "custom": {
            "sharer": "https://mycustomdomain.com",
            "type": "popup"
          },
        }
      }
    });
</script>

There are two available network types:

Type	Effect
popup	Open the sharing link in a new popup
direct	Open directly the sharing link (suitable for mobile apps sharing, emails, sms, ...)
