The Pin It button is the best way for your business to get content on Pinterest. With just one click, visitors can save content they like on your site to Pinterest, which helps even more Pinners discover you.

The following props are specific for type="one". Each prop refers to the Pin to be pinned on click. A new Pin will be created using media, url and description.

Note: there are more settings available than this widget currently supports. For the full description of the settings, defaults and their effect, refer to documentation.

// To create a Pin one Pin It button
echo PinItButton::widget([
    'type' => 'one',
    'media' => 'https://goo.gl/zFFBUK',
    'url' => 'https://goo.gl/hQmcWP',
    'description' => 'Example Stuff',
]);
