Shariff ? Give Social Media Buttons Some Privacy

Shariff enables website users to share their favorite content without compromising their privacy. Demo

Shariff Logo © 2015 Heise Medien

Facebook, Google+ and Twitter supply official sharing code snippets which quietly siphon personal data from all page visitors. Shariff enables visitors to see how popular your page is on Facebook and share your content with others without needless data leaks.

Shariff (/?????f/) is an open-source, low-maintenance, high-privacy solution maintained by German computer magazine c't and heise online.

Shariff consists of two parts: a simple JavaScript client library and an optional server-side component. The latter fetches the number of likes, tweets and plus-ones. Share buttons and share counts work without a connection between your visitors' browsers and social networks (unless they decide to share, of course).

Getting Started
  1. Download the latest release
  2. Include CSS in <head>:
    • build/shariff.complete.css contains all dependencies
    • use build/shariff.min.css, if Font Awesome is already included in your site
  3. Include JavaScript right before </body>:
    • build/shariff.complete.js contains all dependencies
    • use build/shariff.min.js, if jQuery is already included in your site
  4. Insert one or more <div class="shariff"> elements.
  5. Customize the look using data-* attributes.

To enable the counters in the buttons, see section Backends.

Usage example:

CTYPE html>
l>
d>
<link href="/path/to/shariff.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
ad>
y>
<h1>My article</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</p>

<h2>Minimum buttons:</h2>
<div class="shariff"></div>

<h2>More advanced buttons:</h2>
<div class="shariff" data-backend-url="/path/to/backend" data-url="http://www.example.com/my-article.html" data-theme="grey" data-orientation="vertical"></div>

<!-- immediately before </body> -->
<script src="/path/to/shariff.min.js"></script>
dy>
ml>
Getting Started using npm

You can also use Shariff's node package by installing it via npm:

 my-project
m install shariff --save

Edit your JS main script, include Shariff and initialize it in one or more containers:

y-app.js
Shariff = require('shariff');
$ = require('jquery');
buttonsContainer = $('.some-selector');
Shariff(buttonsContainer, {
orientation: 'vertical'

Running demo site

After downloading Shariff, install its dependencies by running npm install.

t clone https://github.com/heiseonline/shariff.git
 shariff
m install
unt demo

Make sure you have installed the Grunt CLI. Run grunt demo to start a local web server which displays several button configurations. The demo page uses shariff-backend-node to request and display share counts.

Backends

In order to display share counts with Shariff, you need one of the following backends:

Third-party backends:

Once you have one of these backends up and running, insert its URL into the data-backend-url attribute. For example, if the backend runs under http://example.com/my-shariff-backend/, the data-backend-url should be /my-shariff-backend/. The script will handle the rest.
