Cordova Facebook Connect Plugin

updated by Madhav Bhagat based on work by Olivier Louvignes

DESCRIPTION

• This plugin provides a simple way to use Facebook Graph API in Cordova.

• This plugin is built for Cordova >= v3.4.0 with ARC. Both iOS & Android are supported with the same javascript interface.

• For iOS, this plugin relies on the Facebook iOS SDK that is bundled in the FacebookSDK folder (licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0).

• For Android, this plugin relies on the Facebook Android SDK that is packaged as a .jar in the libs folder (licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0).

UPDATES

• Supports cordova CLI
• Generates Android and iOS config files (xml/plist)

SAMPLE PROJECT GENERATION

You can generate a sample XCode project by running samples/ios/create.sh from the root of the repository.

PLUGIN SETUP

cordova plugin add https://github.com/codebreach/cordova-facebook-connect-simple.git --variable APP_ID="$facebookAppId" --variable APP_NAME="$facebookAppName"

All plist and xml files are updated as necessary.

JAVASCRIPT INTERFACE (IOS/ANDROID)

// After device ready, create a local alias
var facebookConnect = window.plugins.facebookConnect;

facebookConnect.login({permissions: ["email", "user_about_me"], appId: "YOUR_APP_ID"}, function(result) {
    console.log("FacebookConnect.login:" + JSON.stringify(result));

    // Check for cancellation/error
    if(result.cancelled || result.error) {
        console.log("FacebookConnect.login:failedWithError:" + result.message);
        return;
    }

    // Basic graph request example
    facebookConnect.requestWithGraphPath("/me/friends", {limit: 100}, function(result) {
        console.log("FacebookConnect.requestWithGraphPath:" + JSON.stringify(result));
    });

    // Feed dialog example
    var dialogOptions = {
        link: 'https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/',
        picture: 'http://fbrell.com/f8.jpg',
        name: 'Facebook Dialogs',
        caption: 'Reference Documentation',
        description: 'Using Dialogs to interact with users.'
    };
    facebookConnect.dialog('feed', dialogOptions, function(response) {
        console.log("FacebookConnect.dialog:" + JSON.stringify(response));
    });

});

Patches welcome! Send a pull request. Since this is not a part of Cordova Core (which requires a CLA), this should be easier.
