Using

You should use the widget for adding the share links on page

    <?= \bl\socialShare\widgets\SocialShareWidget::widget([
        'componentId' => 'socialShare',
        'url' => Url::toRoute(['site/index'], true),
        'title' => 'Black Lamp - digital agancy',
        'description' => 'Black Lamp provides a comprehensive range of services for development...',
        'image' => Url::toRoute(['/logo.png'], true)
    ]) ?>

Widget configuration properties

What if i want to add a new social network?

You must create class and extend it from bl\socialShare\base\SocialNetwork abstract class

use bl\socialShare\base\SocialNetwork;

class LinkedIn extends SocialNetwork
{

}

and implement the method getLink()

class LinkedIn extends bl\socialShare\base\SocialNetwork
{
    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function getLink($url, $title, $description, $image, $component)
    {
    }
}

this method must initialize route to the social network and return initLink() method with $component argument

/**
 * @inheritdoc
 */
public function getLink($url, $title, $description, $image, $component)
{
    $this->_route = "https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true"
                    ."&url=$url"
                    ."&title=$title"
                    ."&summary=$description";
                    
    return $this->initLink($component);
}

UPDATE

This fork fixes the conflict of using Object in classes since in PHP 7.2 Object is a reserved keyword.
