What is Social media share buttons?

Social media share buttons are very useful while asking your users to share your articles on various social media handles. The share buttons we are going to make in this blog looks fantastic and shows an animation on hover over the buttons. The animation reveals the text/Social media website name.

 

How we will create the animation?

We will take the help of the CSS transform property to rotate the texts 360 degrees and you can also customize the angles with your own values. The CSS transform property helps to achieve a 2D or 3D animation to an element. The transform property supports rotate, scale, skew etc an element.

Syntax

.element{ transform: _ }
