You can publish the config file of the package.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="syvbyen\SocialShare\SocialShareServiceProvider" --tag=config

View

You are more than welcome to publish the view file and make it your own. This is how it looks right now.

<div class="social-share__wrapper">

    <p class="social-share__tagline">@lang('social-share::social-share.share')</p>

    @foreach($shareables as $shareable)

        <a href="{{ $shareable->href }}" class="social-share__link" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">

                @isset($shareable->icon)

                    <i class="social-share__icon {{ $shareable->icon }}"></i>

                @endisset

            <span class="social-share__name">{{ $shareable->name }}</span>

        </a>

    @endforeach

</div>

You can f.ex change the $shareable->icon to an image source in the config and use an <img> tag instead. You can publish the view file like so:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="syvbyen\SocialShare\SocialShareServiceProvider" --tag=view

Localization file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="syvbyen\SocialShare\SocialShareServiceProvider" --tag=lang
