Description

## 🎯 Direction

SocialShareButton is a **lightweight, zero-dependency, framework-agnostic** social sharing component. Hugo and Jekyll are the most widely used static site generators for open-source project sites, documentation, and blogs — exactly the type of pages where a social share button adds the most value. No wrapper file is needed; integration is entirely CDN-based and dropped into the site's base layout template.

## 📁 Files to Create / Modify

### ℹ️ No New Wrapper File Needed

Hugo and Jekyll generate static HTML — integration is done via CDN `` and `<link>` tags placed in the base layout template. No JavaScript framework wrapper is required.

---

### ✅ Existing File: `index.html` — Add Hugo / Jekyll Integration Section

Add a new section with:
- Section heading: `📄 Hugo / Jekyll Integration`
- Step 1: Add CDN links to the base layout template
- Step 2: Add the container element and initialization script to the layout or a shortcode/include

**Hugo** (`layouts/_default/baseof.html`):

```html
<!-- In <head> -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/social-share-button/dist/social-share-button.css">

<!-- Before </body> -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/social-share-button/dist/social-share-button.js">

new SocialShareButton({
container: '#share-button',
url: window.location.href,
title: document.title,
description: '{{ .Description }}',
theme: 'dark',
buttonText: 'Share'
});

```

**Jekyll** (`_layouts/default.html`):

```html

new SocialShareButton({
container: '#share-button',
url: window.location.href,
title: document.title,
description: '{{ page.description }}',
theme: 'dark',
buttonText: 'Share'
});

```

---

## ✅ Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] No new wrapper file required — integration is HTML/CDN only
- [ ] `index.html` updated with a Hugo / Jekyll section containing separate code snippets for both generators
- [ ] Copy-to-clipboard button present on new code blocks in `index.html`
- [ ] README updated to list Hugo and Jekyll as supported integration patterns
