Add native file sharing functionality to my app using the Despia SDK from: https://www.npmjs.com/package/despia-native
First, install the package: npm install despia-native
Then import it: import despia from 'despia-native'
Create a file sharing system that uses file sharing URLs like: despia("https://cdn.filesharingdomain.com/path/to/file.pdf") to open the native sharing modal and allow users to share files through their device's built-in sharing options (email, messages, social media, cloud storage, etc.).
This feature requires native capabilities which will be fully provided by the “despia-native” npm package, no additional native libraries are needed!
Important: Served files via HTTPS must have proper content-type and content-disposition headers for optimal sharing functionality.
Please follow the installation instructions for the "despia-native" npm package closely, and do not modify my instructions. Implementation as mentioned is critical.
How it works: Despia acts as a bridge between your Lovable app and native mobile sharing systems. When users tap a share button, Despia opens the device's native sharing modal with the specified file, allowing users to share content through any app installed on their device, including email, messaging, social media, and cloud storage platforms. All file types are supported.
Installation
Install the Despia package from NPM:
npm install despia-native

1. Import the SDK
import despia from 'despia-native';
