Create a Gmail share link

I would like to put a button on my one page web application that allows a user to send a link through Gmail. I found that some websites such as addthis.com provide such a button, however this button automatically uses the link from the url bar. Since I have a one page web application the link in the url bar will always be the same. I need to be able to to put the link in the button myself (which is possible with, for example, the Facebook and Twitter share buttons).

How can I create a Gmail button that can be used to share a link?

Thank you.

On Button click write a function and do this inside the function

let url = 'https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=&su=Your+Subject+here&body='+msgbody+'&ui=2&tf=1&pli=1';

window.open(url, 'sharer', 'toolbar=0,status=0,width=648,height=395');

The url will generate a link to open a gmail tab with auto filled subject and in in place of msgbody you can put your url you want to share.

Try the official Google+ Share button. There's a field there where you'll specify the "URL to share". Since you're only using one URL, this might work in your favor. enter image description here
