00:10 so in this video we're going to be
00:11 looking at the share launch or the share
00:14 Launchpad stack um within sheret so here
00:18 we have three examples here and let's
00:21 have a look at what sherit Launchpad
00:23 does right so as you see we can have it
00:25 open on scroll um and then it will when
00:28 we hover over basically all of these
00:31 actions um can be configured okay so
00:35 let's look at this existing
00:36 implementations that we have inside this
00:38 demo project that ships with the
00:41 stack when we look at share launch um
00:45 the top section allows us to configure
00:47 the Launchpad okay that is the main icon
00:50 that triggers the actual action so here
00:53 we can customize the icon so we have
00:56 four different icons that we can use uh
00:58 three different types of share icons
01:00 link as well as a custom SVG that you
01:03 can Define so like here is example here
01:05 in this demo I used a custom SVG that
01:08 has the question mark I just pasted that
01:10 directly into um the custom setting so
01:14 here for the Launchpad you can then
01:16 Define the size of that icon okay it's
01:18 actually the size the the total size of
01:21 the actual button so the icon size
01:23 itself will actually be half the size of
01:25 this because we need a little bit of
01:26 padding for everything to look good then
01:29 you can configure your colors so your
01:31 background your border options your SVG
01:34 color as well as Shadow now if you don't
01:37 want a border or a shadow it's simply
01:40 just go into the color settings and set
01:42 the opacity all the way to zero that
01:44 will effectively remove the border and
01:47 the shadow then if you're a foundation
01:49 user or a CSS Guru you can go ahead and
01:52 create your own custom classes and then
01:54 style this button even farther okay with
01:57 swatches and your own
01:58 CSS then the next setting has to do with
02:01 the direction or the layouts of the
02:04 satellites this has to do with the the
02:07 actual positions of the share it and
02:09 share link Stacks that can be added
02:12 around your
02:13 Launchpad fan option defines the scope
02:17 at which how far around the circle are
02:20 we going to evenly distribute our
02:24 satellites so in case one and case three
02:28 here I have actually the set to 180 okay
02:32 whereas this middle example here is set
02:34 to 360° because the limitation it they
02:38 will be spread all around the circle
02:42 okay um and then we the distance is how
02:45 far away from the Launchpad do you want
02:47 them to go and then the direction here
02:50 the direction allows us to Define where
02:52 do we want this makes most sense if we
02:55 have it less than 360 so for these
02:57 particular 180° implement ations where
03:00 do we want that to be to Fan out from
03:05 right so do we want it to be up down
03:08 left right or a custom value now if you
03:11 notice when you choose a direction up
03:14 down left or right I give you a value in
03:18 radians that is being used um I do this
03:21 to kind of help you out to if you want
03:23 to define a custom you can kind of get
03:26 an idea of what the radian values Define
03:30 right there's a lot of tricky
03:32 trigonometry going on here and depending
03:35 on your distance um sometimes these
03:38 default values might not be exactly what
03:41 you want so this is why um you know
03:44 depending on what distance and sizes
03:46 values you have set um you might need to
03:49 go to custom and then tweak the value
03:51 till you get the alignment of your
03:54 satellites just right the next settings
03:57 have to do with our satellites
04:00 themselves so these allow us to define
04:02 the size and the colors of all the
04:06 satellites so in this first example here
04:09 um I have the size of my satellites to
04:11 be 48 pixels and then here's the colors
04:14 that are going to be used for every
04:15 satellite Now by default the SVG color
04:18 here is not used if we want the
04:21 standardized if we want the svgs to have
04:23 a standard color we go ahead and check
04:25 this and what you'll notice is those
04:28 icon colors are now all the same okay
04:31 let's have a look at this SE second
04:33 example here if I were to turn off
04:35 standard color you'll see that we
04:37 actually get the the native colors of
04:39 each icon rather than um you know having
04:44 one uniform color so depending on what
04:47 layout you want um you might want them
04:49 to have different colors or the same
04:52 color and lastly we can customize the
04:54 animations so there's several different
04:56 animations that we can utilize here um
04:59 my favorite is Bounce I think it just is
05:01 a really nice elegant animation you can
05:03 customize the speed of the animation now
05:06 you can also Define a Clos delay and
05:09 what that is is let's say I scroll down
05:12 the page or click on something else on
05:15 the page this will cause the actual
05:17 satellites to automatically close you
05:19 can add a delay to that close instead of
05:22 them actually going
05:23 immediately next is we can open on Hover
05:26 which uh you know I think is a great way
05:28 to actually trigger it but you can
05:31 always click on the Launchpad to open
05:34 and close the Launchpad so I I think
05:37 open on Hover is great because it gives
05:39 a lot of you know discoverability um as
05:42 well as you can open on scroll so as we
05:45 see here on this page if I go ahead and
05:47 do preview if I scroll down the page
05:50 this particular one will actually load
05:53 on
05:55 scroll now in terms of the Launchpad
05:58 satellites I have already talked about
06:01 how share it and the share link Stacks
06:03 work and the share and Link satellite
06:06 Stacks work exactly the same however I
06:10 should note that when you can override
06:13 the styles that are defined globally in
06:15 the share launch stack so in the share
06:18 launch you can go ahead and customize
06:20 the default color of all your satellites
06:22 however you can override that at the
06:25 individual satellite level as
06:28 well
06:32 now lastly we can actually add a Content
06:35 stack to share launches well and what
06:38 this allows us to do is you can add
06:40 whatever content you want as a
06:43 standalone satellite as well now granted
06:46 our satellites are tiny so you can't add
06:48 a lot of content into here but I wanted
06:51 to give you the flexibility to add your
06:53 own stack content inside of an
06:56 individual
06:58 satellite
07:07 oh
