# Node Public file Share Directive

Creates and manages public shared links for files.

![adf-share](../docassets/images/share-directive.png)

## Basic Usage

```html
<adf-toolbar>
    <button mat-icon-button
            [baseShareUrl]="http://localhos:8080/myrouteForShareFile/"
            [adf-share]="documentList.selection[0]">
            <mat-icon>share</mat-icon>
    </button>
</adf-toolbar>

<adf-document-list #documentList ...>
 ...
</adf-document-list>
```

### Properties

| Name | Type | Default value | Description |
| ---- | ---- | ------------- | ----------- |
| node | `MinimalNodeEntity` |  | Nodes to share.  |
| baseShareUrl | `string` |  | baseShareUrl to add as prefix to the generated link  |


## Details

This dialog will generate a link with the form "baseShareUrl + sharedId".
For example, if you set the input parameter as follows:

```
[baseShareUrl]="http://localhost:8080/myrouteForShareFile/"
```

...then the directive will ask the [Content service](../core/content.service.md) to generate
a `sharedId` for the file. This will create a URL like the following:

```
http://localhost:8080/myrouteForShareFile/NEW_GENERATED_SHAREID
```

To use this,ou will need to implement some code that gets the `NEW_GENERATED_SHAREID` with the router
and passes it to a [Viewer component](../core/viewer.component.md):

```html
<adf-viewer
    [sharedLinkId]="NEW_GENERATED_SHAREID"
    [allowGoBack]="false">
</adf-viewer>
```
