Passing custom text to new Facebook Sharer button

I need to pass some AngularJS variables from my application to the new Facebook sharer button, I'm using:

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/es_LA/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=1438439249728371";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

And this:

 <div class="fb-share-button" data-href="http://mySite" data-type="button">     </div>

Where can I place my custom text to share in the dialog?

Thank you!

How do I customize my share button on Facebook?

Head over to Meta's documentation and use their button configurator to get the code for a Like and Share Button, or a Share Button. Once you select the options for your custom button, click the Get Code button and a new dialog box will appear with two different scripts.

Sharer wont allow that. It'll fetch the og tags from the link and fill the contents in the dialog.

If you want to add cutomized description/picture/caption you should instead use Feed Dialog.

You can use the direct URL to invoke feed dialog:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?
 app_id=1438439249728371
 &display=popup
 &caption={caption}
 &link={link-to-share}
 &description={description}
 &redirect_uri={redirect-url-to-your-site}

You can check all available parameters here
