Usage

Basic demo

import react from "react";
import useFacebook from "react-easy-facebook";
 
const App = () => {
  /* Initializing the hook by giving it the facebook app id. */
 
  const { response, login, logout } = useFacebook({
    appId: "5135128098923510",
  });
 
  const handleLogin = () => {
    login();
  };
 
  const handleLogout = () => {
    logout();
  };
 
  /*
   response is a react state so subscribe to its updates however you'd like to.
   Here, I'm printing it inside a useEffect.
  */
 
  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (response) console.log(response);
  }, [response]);
 
  /* Trigger the login action by calling login() */
  /* Similarly, trigger the logout action by calling logout() */
 
  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={handleLogin}>login</button>
      <button onClick={handleLogout}>logout</button>
    </>
  );
};

Using with custom scopes

const { response, login } = useFacebook({
  appId: "5135128098923510",
  options: {
    scope: ["email", "user_birthday"],
  },
});

Or

const { response, login } = useFacebook({
  appId: "5135128098923510",
  options: {
    scope: "email,user_birthday",
  },
});

Using with custom scopes and fields

const { response, login } = useFacebook({
  appId: "5135128098923510",
  options: {
    scope: ["email", "user_birthday"],
  },
  fields: ["id", "name", "email"],
});

Or

const { response, login } = useFacebook({
  appId: "5135128098923510",
  options: {
    scope: "email,user_birthday",
  },
  fields: "id,name,email",
});

Generally, you should use the array syntax to get Intellisense hints. But you'll always need to use the string syntax when hitting an edge like picture.

Example

const { response, login } = useFacebook({
  appId: "5135128098923510",
  options: {
    scope: "email",
  },
  fields: "id,name,email,picture{height,width,url,is_silhouette}",
});

For more information about the different fields and edges, visit the Facebook docs.

Calling login() with different fields

You may override the fields specified in the hook initialization by passing the new fields to the login function.

const App = () => {
  const { response, login } = useFacebook({
    appId: "5135128098923510",
    fields: ["id", "email"],
  });
 
  const handleLogin = () => {
    login(["id", "email", "name"]);
    // or
    // login("id,email,name")
  };
 
  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (response) console.log(response);
  }, [response]);
 
  return <button onClick={handleLogin}>login</button>;
};

Error Handling

const App = () => {
  const { response, login } = useFacebook({
    appId: "5135128098923510",
    // Add error handling logic here
    // By default, it does console.error()
    handleError: (error) => {
      console.error(error);
    },
  });
 
  const handleLogin = () => {
    login();
  };
 
  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (response) console.log(response);
  }, [response]);
 
  return <button onClick={handleLogin}>login</button>;
};
