Passing Dynamic OG title, description and image to Facebook share dialog in javascript

Question

I am trying to implement a dynamic facebook share button that shares a custom "title" + "description" on the same URL for every quote, here: http://codepen.io/ryanabi/pen/mVoJGp

The problem is that Facebook doesn't allow passing custom parameters but only using the main header OG tags... which is I can't change dynamically as I am using jQuery not PHP.

Any advice on how to pass a different title + image but with the same URL.

 //this array is declared outside the $(document).ready function to make it accessible in //both $(document).ready and changeQuote() function var quote = [ { quotes: '"Keep all Jealous people away from you"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Massage twice a week"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Use cocoa butter in vibe + dove body soap"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Keep a clean heart and clean soul"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Take care of your plants"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Keep the pathway to more success clean"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Surround yourself with greatness"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Stay focussed"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"The ones closest to you want to see you fail"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Keep your head above water"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Dont be a crab"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Work hard"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Give Thanks"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Never give up on the journey"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"You must believe"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Name your plants"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Cardio is important"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Brush your teeth"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"There will be struggle before success"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Have a lot of pillows"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Use mouth wash"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Enjoy life"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"You have to work hard for success"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"3 multi vitamin gummies per day"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Set iguanas free away from flowers"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Never disappoint your loved ones"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Keep the theory smooth"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Bless up"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Foot rubs"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"They have to know what you are saying"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Jus know"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Smell like success"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Take rest"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Give thanks to the most high"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Drink water every morning"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Believe in yourself"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Have egg whites for breakfast every day"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Drink coconut water"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"No pork"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Salt water"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Dry your back"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Have the key to every door"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Have apples"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"When people close the door on you just open it"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Keep Blocking, Keep Dunking, Keep winning"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Manicure and Pedicure once a week"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Dont Panic"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Never Give Up"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Take the trash in your life out"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Surround yourself with angles"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Overcome the roadblocks"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Make it"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Be better than the evil people"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"The better the landscaping the more success"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Gluten free in all your food"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Embrace your blessing"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Dont let people pull you down"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Have a hammock"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Never fold"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Clear your mind and find peace and love"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Keep people around you thats gonna uplift you"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Over stand never understand"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"Move forward"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"You have to make it through the jungle to make it to paradise"', speaker: "DJ Khaled" }, { quotes: '"In the jungle there is a lot of they.

After doing some more research, Here's a statement from Facebook regarding this issue:

We have changed the behavior of the sharer plugin to be consistent with other plugins and features on our platform.

The sharer will no longer accept custom parameters and facebook will pull the information that is being displayed in the preview the same way that it would appear on facebook as a post, from the url OG meta tags.
