Sharing on Instagram

Another useful plugin for sharing is the Instagram plugin for Cordova.

Tip

You can read more about this plugin at https://github.com/vstirbu/InstagramPlugin.

It supports both iOS and Android platforms.

The requirement for the plugin is installed in the Instagram application. It will show a notification if Instagram is not installed.

Let's install the plugin as we usually do it:

$ cordova plugins add https://github.com/vstirbu/InstagramPlugin

We already know how to add an event handler on the Instagram share button. Take a Base64 data URL image of the canvas and send it along with the caption:

document.getElementById('share-instagram').addEventListener("click", function() {
    var img = game.canvas.toDataURL();
    var caption = 'I just got ' + score + ' points in Crazy Bubbles!';
    Instagram.share(img, caption, function (err) {
        if (err) {
            console.log("not shared");
        } else {
            console.log("shared");
        }
    });
    return false...
