Angular Facebook

Angular service to handle facebook

Installation

1. Download the package, you can download the zip file, or use bower: bower install ng-facebook
2. Modify your application to include ngFacebook in your application dependencies
3. Configure the ngFacebook module using the configuration steps outlined in the section titled "Configuration" below.
4. Load the Facebook SDK for javascript, BUT DO NOT call FB.init or set window.fbAsyncInit. These steps are automatically done by the ngFacebook module.

Example:

angular.module('<your-app>', ['ngFacebook'])

.config( function( $facebookProvider ) {
  $facebookProvider.setAppId('<your-facebook-app-id>');
})

.run( function( $rootScope ) {
  // Cut and paste the "Load the SDK" code from the facebook javascript sdk page.
  
  // Load the facebook SDK asynchronously
  (function(){
     ...
   }());
})

;

var DemoCtrl = function ($scope, $facebook) {
  ...
  function refresh() {
    $facebook.api("/me").then( 
      function(response) {
        $scope.welcomeMsg = "Welcome " + response.name;
      },
      function(err) {
        $scope.welcomeMsg = "Please log in";
      });
  }
};

Configuration

You must configure your facebook application ID in your app, for example:

app.config(function(FacebookProvider) {
  $facebookProvider.setAppId(11111111111);
});

Additional configurations

You can also configure the next properties.

Use set and get. For example $facebookProvider.setAppId(11111)

1. permissions(<string>) for permissions which required by your app.

   Example:

    $facebookProvider.setPermissions("email,user_likes");
   

2. customInit(<object>) custom initial p.

   Example to set:

    $facebookProvider.setCustomInit({
      channelUrl : '//WWW.YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/channel.html'
    });
