Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ngx-facebook-fb

ngx-facebook-fb is the same as ngx-facebook but updated for use in Angular 9 projects. Details about this lib are here.

This is a wrapper for the official Facebook JavaScript SDK. It makes it easier to use Facebook SDK with Angular 9+ by providing components, providers and types.

Installation

1. Install via NPM

npm i ngx-facebook-fb

2. Add the Facebook JavaScript SDK to your index.html

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"></script>

or in your main component (e.g. AppComponent):

import { Component, OnInit, Inject, PLATFORM_ID } from '@angular/core';
import { isPlatformBrowser } from '@angular/common';

class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(
    @Inject(PLATFORM_ID) private platformId: Object) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    if (isPlatformBrowser(this.platformId)) {
      const tag = document.createElement('script');
      tag.src = "https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
      document.body.appendChild(tag);
    }
  }
}

Note: The code in file https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js uses window object that is unavailable in the Node.js. So if we try to run this code on the server, we can have the errors. SSR won't work. Therefore exclude the usage of the lib on the server using isPlatformBrowser(this.platformId)

3. Import FacebookModule into your app's root module


import { FacebookModule } from 'ngx-facebook-fb';

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    FacebookModule.forRoot()
  ],
  ...
})
export class AppModule { }

If you only want to use FacebookService only, without using the other components, then you can import it in your app's module instead of FacebookModule.

4. Inject FacebookService and call the init method (optional)

This method must be called before using login or api methods. It is not required for other methods/components.

import { Component, OnInit, Inject, PLATFORM_ID } from '@angular/core';
import { isPlatformBrowser } from '@angular/common';

import { FacebookService, InitParams } from 'ngx-facebook-fb';

export class MyComponentOrService {

  constructor(private fb: FacebookService,
             @Inject(PLATFORM_ID) private platformId: Object
  ) {

    if (isPlatformBrowser(platformId)) {
      let initParams: InitParams = {
        appId: '1234566778',
        xfbml: true,
        version: 'v2.8'
      };
  
      fb.init(initParams);
    }

  }

}

  loginWithFacebook(): void {

    this.fb.login()
      .then((response: LoginResponse) => console.log(response))
      .catch((error: any) => console.error(error));

  }

}

Example of sharing on Facebook

import { FacebookService, UIParams, UIResponse } from 'ngx-facebook-fb';

...

share(url: string) {

  let params: UIParams = {
    href: 'https://github.com/zyra/ngx-facebook-fb',
    method: 'share'
  };

  this.fb.ui(params)
    .then((res: UIResponse) => console.log(res))
    .catch((e: any) => console.error(e));

}

Example of adding a Facebook like button

<fb-like href="https://github.com/zyra/ngx-facebook"></fb-like>

Example of playing a Facebook video

<fb-video href="https://www.facebook.com/facebook/videos/10153231379946729/" (paused)="onVideoPaused($event)"></fb-video>
import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { FBVideoComponent } from 'ngx-facebook-fb';

@Component(...)
export class MyComponent {

  @ViewChild(FBVideoComponent) video: FBVideoComponent;

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.video.play();
    this.video.pause();
    this.video.getVolume();
  }

  onVideoPaused(ev: any) {
