bare-auth-facebook
Facebook authentication with Bare Auth.
Installation
npm install bare-auth-facebook
Setup
1. Create an App
Go to: https://developers.facebook.com/apps to get started
2. Add a valid Redirect URI
- Go to: https://developers.facebook.com/apps/{{APP_ID}}/settings/advanced/
- Add a URL with the following format:
{{ORIGIN}}/auth/
. Example:http://localhost:7000/auth/
orhttps://app.finbox.io/auth/
Important: Don't forget to add the trailing slash as part of the valid redirect URI. Facebook will fail silently and you won't know why.
3. Setup the client-side
var Facebook = require('facebook-bare-auth');
var facebook = Facebook({
url: 'http://auth.example.com'
client_id: facebook_client_id,
scope: ['profile']
})
facebook(function(err, profile) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(profile);
});
Important:
url
points to the domain of your auth server (server-side below). The routing will be set up for you
4. Setup the server-side (example uses Express)
var Facebook = require('facebook-bare-auth');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var express = require('express');
var cors = require('cors');
var app = module.exports = express();
app.use(cors());
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(Facebook({
client_secret: client_secret
// optionally include a 'sign' function to add support for JWT
}));
app.listen(5000);
