);The react-social-sharing package provides a set of social media sharing buttons for React applications. It supports fewer platforms compared to react-share but offers a simpler API and easier customization options.
The react-social-icons package offers a collection of social media icons that can be used for sharing purposes. It focuses more on providing a wide range of icons rather than the sharing functionality itself, making it a good complement to other sharing packages.
The react-share-buttons package provides a set of customizable share buttons for various social media platforms. It offers similar functionalities to react-share but with a different set of customization options and styling capabilities.
Easy social media share buttons and share counts.

All share count components take in only one mandatory prop: url, which is the
URL you are sharing. className prop is optional.
Example:
<FacebookShareCount url={shareUrl} />
If you want to render anything else but the count,
you can provide a function as a child element that takes in shareCount as an
argument and returns an element:
<FacebookShareCount url={shareUrl}>
{shareCount => (
<span className="myShareCountWrapper">{shareCount}</span>
)}
</FacebookShareCount>
const FacebookIcon = generateShareIcon('facebook');
const TwitterIcon = generateShareIcon('twitter');
const GooglePlusIcon = generateShareIcon('google');
const LinkedinIcon = generateShareIcon('linkedin');
const PinterestIcon = generateShareIcon('pinterest');
const VKIcon = generateShareIcon('vk');
Props:
size: Icon size in pixels (number)
round: Whether to show round or rect icons (bool)
iconBgStyle: customize background style, e.g. fill (object)
logoFillColor: customize logo's fill color (string, default = 'white')
