Facebook basic functionalities in Phonegap using InAppBrowser

phonegap.facebook.inappbrowser v 0.9

FacebookInAppBrowser uses the InAppBrowser Phonegap plugin and localStorage. Does not require any SDK from Facebook or other libraries.

This repo is based on this question and answer and on this repo using ChildBrowser

Until now "Login", "Logout", "Invite(Request)", "post(/feed)", "getInfo(/me)", "getPermissions(/id/permissions)" and "Share" are available.

Phonegap v2.8 up to 3.x

Setup

To use FacebookInAppBrowser you need to follow these steps:

• Enable InAppBrowser in your Phonegap application as described in "InAppBrowser - Accessing the Feature". Instructions are the same for 2.8 up to 3.x except for the command line interface. If you have 3.x you need to install the InAppBrowser plugin trough the command line.
• Enable Storage in your Phonegap application as described in "Storage - Accessing the Feature". If you have 3.x Storage is enabled by default.
• Download the 'phonegap.facebook.inappbrowser.js' file and place it inside your project (for example in www/js/)
• In your index.html place a script tag calling the javascript file:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/phonegap.facebook.inappbrowser.js"></script>

• You should have your main javascript file (also called in a script tag in your index.html). In it just configure and call FacebookInAppBrowser as the example below.

Basic example

// Settings
FacebookInAppBrowser.settings.appId = '123456789';
FacebookInAppBrowser.settings.redirectUrl = 'http://example.com';
FacebookInAppBrowser.settings.permissions = 'email';

// Optional
FacebookInAppBrowser.settings.timeoutDuration = 7500;

// Login(accessToken will be stored trough localStorage in 'accessToken');
FacebookInAppBrowser.login({
	send: function() {
		console.log('login opened');
	},
	success: function(access_token) {
		console.log('done, access token: ' + access_token);
	},
	denied: function() {
		console.log('user denied');
	},
	timeout: function(){
	    console.log('a timeout has occurred, probably a bad internet connection');
	},
	complete: function(access_token) {
		console.log('window closed');
		if(access_token) {
			console.log(access_token);
		} else {
			console.log('no access token');
		}
	},
	userInfo: function(userInfo) {
		if(userInfo) {
			console.log(JSON.stringify(userInfo));
		} else {
			console.log('no user info');
		}
	}
});

// Invite friends
FacebookInAppBrowser.invite('Get to know my app!', function(response) {
	if(response) {
		alert('success');
	}
});

// Same logic of callbacks
FacebookInAppBrowser.getInfo(function(response) {
	if(response) {
		var name = response.name,
            id = response.id,
            gender = response.gender;
	            
        // check the response object to see all available data like email, first name, last name, etc
        console.log(JSON.stringify(response));
	}
});

FacebookInAppBrowser.getPermissions(function(permissions) {
	if(permissions) {
		console.log(permissions.publish_actions, permissions);
	}
});

FacebookInAppBrowser.post({
	name: 'My post',
	link: 'http://frop.me',
	message: 'Try this out',
	picture: 'http://caiovaccaro.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/frop01.jpg',
	description: 'Sent trough mobile app'}, function(response) {
		if(response) {
			console.log('post successful');
		}
	});
	
// Share urls
FacebookInAppBrowser.share({
    href: 'https://developers.facebook.com/docs/'
}, function(response) {
    if (response) {
        alert('success');
    }
});

// Share open graph actions
FacebookInAppBrowser.share({
    action_type: 'og.likes',
    action_properties: JSON.stringify({
        object:'https://developers.facebook.com/docs/',
    })
}, function(response) {
    if (response) {
	    alert('success');
    }
});
// please note that you could get errors like:
// "User is already associated to the object type, article, on a unique action..."
// if you try to re-like something already liked by the user

// Logout
FacebookInAppBrowser.logout(function() {
	alert('bye');
});

If you are using jQuery or similar you can use it like:

// callbacks as before
$('#login').click(function() {
	FacebookInAppBrowser.login(...);
});

$('#invite').click(function() {
	FacebookInAppBrowser.invite(...);
}):

$('#bye').click(function() {
	FacebookInAppBrowser.logout(...);
});
