Angular Facebook

Angular service to handle facebook

Installation

Download the package:
1. download using npm: npm install ng-facebook
2. download using the zip file
3. download using bower: bower install ng-facebook
Modify your application to include ngFacebook in your application dependencies
Configure the ngFacebook module using the configuration steps outlined in the section titled "Configuration" below.
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";
      });
  }
};

For more details check out this plunker which uses ngFacebook.

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 following properties. Both set and get methods are available for each property.

permissions(<string>) - permissions required by your app.

Example:
```
 $facebookProvider.setPermissions("email,user_likes");
```
customInit(<object>) - the parameters to pass to FB.init(). The 'appId' parameter is automatically specified using the value passed to '$facebookProvider.setAppId()', however the remaining parameters are configurable.

Example to set:
```
 $facebookProvider.setCustomInit({
   channelUrl : '//WWW.YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/channel.html',
   xfbml      : true
 });
```
version(<string>) - specify the version of the api (2.0 by default).

Example to set:
```
 $facebookProvider.setVersion("v2.2");
```
