Get the share counts from various APIs

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

michielvaneerd / Backbone and JSONP
Last active November 4, 2021 16:27
Fetching a Backbone collection with JSONP is really simple. It turns out you only need to override the sync method (to set the dataType to jsonp). In this case I also had to override the parse method, because the response consists of more than the models. This example uses the Discogs API to search for artists.
var Artist = Backbone.Model.extend();
var Artists = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model : Artist,
url : "http://api.discogs.com/database/search?type=artist",
sync : function(method, collection, options) {
// By setting the dataType to "jsonp", jQuery creates a function
// and adds it as a callback parameter to the request, e.g.:
// [url]&callback=jQuery19104472605645155031_1373700330157&q=bananarama
// If you want another name for the callback, also specify the

check if element is in viewport - vanilla JS. Use by adding a “scroll” event listener to the window and then calling isInViewport().
// Determine if an element is in the visible viewport
function isInViewport(element) {
var rect = element.getBoundingClientRect();
var html = document.documentElement;
return (
rect.top >= 0 &&
rect.left >= 0 &&
rect.bottom <= (window.innerHeight || html.clientHeight) &&
rect.right <= (window.innerWidth || html.clientWidth)
);

Compilation of questions and answers about Relay from React.js Conf.

Disclaimer: I work on Relay at Facebook. Relay is a complex system on which we're iterating aggressively. I'll do my best here to provide accurate, useful answers, but the details are subject to change. I may also be wrong. Feedback and additional questions are welcome.

What is Relay?

Relay is a new framework from Facebook that provides data-fetching functionality for React applications. It was announced at React.js Conf (January 2015).
