connect_facebook

connect_facebook

Facebook session support for Connect.

connect_facebook enables you to build web sites that use Facebook authentication both on the front-end (HTML/JS) and the back-end (server-side), allowing for a smooth user experience.

This middleware reads and cryptographically verifies the session, making it accessible from req.fb_session -- an object if authorized and valid, otherwise the request has no valid Facebook user session. The req.fb_session object is the same as returned by the client-side FB.getLoginStatus, auth.sessionChange event, etc.

Example

server.mv

import connect, connect_facebook
connect()
  .use(connect_facebook('YOUR_FACEBOOK_APP_ID', 'YOUR_FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET'))
  .use(^(req, res, next) {
    res.end(req.fb_session ? 'Logged in' : 'Not logged in')
  })
  .listen 3000

See example/ for a complete demo including client-side code.
