Populate count from element data

See original GitHub issue

I’m looking for a way to populate count directly through HTML.

Something like <div class="share" data-facebook-count="2" data-pinterest-count="4"> etc.

Any ideas appreciated… I don’t really want to modify the jssocials.js to do this, but I think there is no other way? It would be nice if there was some function I could override to achieve this.

Thanks a lot for any help!

Usually most people need only one share item, but I have a page with 15 of them. It’s a summary of other pages on my site that can be shared. It doesn’t make sense to let the client retrieve 5 different counts for 15 items, they will have to request 75 URLs. That’s a lot of load on mobile data for mobile users, and will slow everything down. If I keep my own counts in my database, I can provide them with the page load and speed up the load time significantly.

@otterslide I have the same use case as yours. So did you finally manage to put all the counts in your database to retrieve them faster ?
