On VK

On any platform, users can send the game link in a private message.

Implementation

Method 1

The user can send a link to a VK game via the Share button.

Method 2

To show the dialog box for sharing the link, call the VKWebAppShare event of the VK Bridge library.

Call example:

JavaScript

bridge.send('VKWebAppShare', {
  link: 'https://vk.com/vkappsdev'
  })
  .then((data) => { 
    if (data.result) {
      // Story published, message sent
    }
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // Error
    console.log(error);
  });

If you've integrated the VK Bridge library in the HTML code of the page, use the vkBridge object name instead of bridge in the call.
