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>

This library uses the standard semver convention. However, the share buttons and and counts are prone to lots of changes that are not in control of this library. For example: if Facebook decides to change or deprecate it's API in a major way, this library will not get a major version bump just because of that. Keep this in mind when you are planning the maintenance of your application.
