Facebook Javascript SDK Tutorial
In this tutorial, I have covered how to use Facebook Javascript SDK. Using this SDK, you can get the full functionality of Facebook OAuth at client-side.
i.e., Getting User Information/Posting to Wall/Reading Messages can be done with pure JavaScript, It doesn’t require any server-side programming.
Step1: Create facebook App
Step3: Facebook SDK initialization. Add the below code to your HTML file.
Step4: Write a Method for Login
Use Fb.login() method for asking user authorization.If you want extra information from user, you need to provide the necessary scope list.
for email : – {scope: ‘email’}
for Friends List – {scope: ‘read_friendlists’}
For Photos,Videos – {scope: ‘user_photos,user_videos’}
Step5: Get User Information by making API call to Graph API
Step6: Add callback handler for authResponseChange events. This is optional.
Step7: Write a Method for Logout

First of all you need to create facebook app to get facebook YOUR APP ID. Click here to create facebook app.
Step2: Create channel file
Once you have created facebook app, Add a Channel file in your website. Channel file is optional but it improves the Facebook Javascript SDK performance by addressing cross-domain issues in certain browsers. Add following code in your channel file.
<script src="//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
Step3: Facebook SDK initialization. Add the below code to your HTML file.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'YOUR_APP_ID', // App ID
channelUrl : 'YOUR_WEBSITE_CHANNEL_URL',
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true // parse XFBML
});
};
(function(d){
var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);
}(document));
</script>
Step4: Write a Method for Login
for Friends List – {scope: ‘read_friendlists’}
For Photos,Videos – {scope: ‘user_photos,user_videos’}
function Login()
{
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse)
{
getUserInfo(); // Get User Information.
} else
{
console.log('Authorization failed.');
}
},{scope: 'email'});
}
Step5: Get User Information by making API call to Graph API
function getUserInfo() {
FB.api('/me?fields=id,name,email', function(response) {
//response.name - User Full name
//response.link - User Facebook URL
//response.username - User name
//response.id - id
//response.email - User email
});
}
Step6: Add callback handler for authResponseChange events. This is optional.
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.authResponseChange', function(response)
{
if (response.status === 'connected')
{
//SUCCESS
}
else if (response.status === 'not_authorized')
{
//FAILED
} else
{
//UNKNOWN ERROR. Logged Out
}
});
Step7: Write a Method for Logout
function Logout()
{
FB.logout(function(){document.location.reload();});
}
