Facebook + OAuth + Rails Boilerplate ↑

Simple boilerplate to let you set up a Ruby on Rails application with built-in facebook integration.

Once forked, go to initializers/omniauth.rb

OmniAuth.config.logger = Rails.logger
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :facebook, 'APP ID', 'APP SECRET'
end

Fill in the APP_ID and the APP_SECRET with the relevant information for your facebook application, and you’re done! New users, intuitively, are stored in the User model and sessions are manipulated from the sessions_controller.

In application.html.erb you’ll find some pre-written code:

<div id="user_nav">
  <% if current_user %>
    Signed in as <strong><%= current_user.name %></strong>!
    <%= link_to "Sign out", signout_path, id: "sign_out" %>
    <% else %>
    <%= link_to "Sign in with Facebook", "/auth/facebook", id: "sign_in" %>
  <% end %>
</div>

This gives you the relevant links to sign in/out.
