Mail Option

Thanks, this will indeed be useful for others.

Sharing via email has some complexities in that we need to know what email(s) to send to and may want for example a default email that goes out. Rather than providing a simple email link, another option would be to integrate with Forward, which handles a lot of the harder problems. That's what was done for example in the Service Links module in Drupal 7 to provide a mail forwarding link. We can't use that code directly, but it might be useful as a model.

Thanks @Gnuget.

Yes, providing a default email body based on the current entity could be useful. Quickly look at Forward module. Seems that this could be "easily" integrated if we build a link based on the forward module route : /forward/{entity_type}/{entity}.

I think the option as is should go in; integration with the forward module could be optional if the forward module is available.

Not sending the e-mail ourselves, but opening it in the visitor's e-mail program, can be seen as a *feature* in that it avoids opening a potential avenue for a site being used in sending spam.

Just from looking at the code, it looks like the email would be addressed to theemail@email.com and in their email program a user would need to delete that email address and then select the one they want to use. If so that seems like a usability issue.

Hi @gnuget

Sorry for the delay, I was busy on some others projects.
Your patch looks very fine.
Commited.

I just updated this part to add the page title on the mail body too.

$options = [
      'query' => [
        'body' => PHP_EOL . $title . PHP_EOL . $share_url,
        'subject' => $title,
      ],
      'absolute' => TRUE,
      'external' => TRUE,
    ];

Thanks for your work.
And I thank you for your nice and useful blog post (I set a link on the module page)
