We can't do our work with short-lived token, so we need a long-lived one. How to extend the access token?

import {extendAccessToken} from '@geniucode/fb-graph-api';

const res = await extendAccessToken('appName', {
    access_token: 'SHORT_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    client_id: 'FB_APP_ID',
    client_secret: 'FB_APP_SECRET'
});
const longLivedAccessToken = res.data.access_token;

---------QUERY--------- --For specific object--

import {queryOnUsers, queryOnPosts, queryOnPostComments} from '@geniucode/fb-graph-api';

// query on user data with query string
const userQueryRes = await queryOnUsers(
  'appName',
  'fields=likes,posts{message_tags,parent_id,shares}',
  USER_ID,
  LONG_ACCESS_TOKEN,
);
console.log({ userQueryResData: userQueryRes.data });

// query on user data with params
const userQueryRes2 = await queryOnUsers(
  'appName',
  { fields: ['likes', 'posts{message_tags,parent_id,shares}'] },
  USER_ID,
  LONG_ACCESS_TOKEN,
);
console.log({ userQueryResData: userQueryRes2.data });

// query on post data with query string (total reactions count)
const postQueryRes = await queryOnPosts(
  'appName',
  'fields=reactions.summary(total_count)',
  POST_ID,
  LONG_ACCESS_TOKEN,
);
 console.log({ postQueryResData: postQueryRes.data });
 // query on post comments data with query string (total comments count)
 const postCommentsQueryRes = await queryOnPostComments(
   'appName',
   'summary=1&filter=toplevel',
   POST_ID,
   LONG_ACCESS_TOKEN,
);
console.log({ postCommentsQueryResData: postCommentsQueryRes.data });

---------QUERY--------- -----Dynamic query-----
