node.js Facebook SDK

This is a complete port of Facebook's PHP SDK library.

The Facebook Platform is a set of APIs that make your application more social. Read more about integrating Facebook with your web site on the Facebook developer site.

The node.js Facebook SDK is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html), as was the original library.

Usage

First, create a Facebook SDK object. The http request and response objects are not required for application graph requests or when setting the session manually. Otherwise they are recommended, for reading and verification of of the session from the request or cookie data, and for writing verified session data to the browser's cookie.

var fbsdk = require('facebook-sdk');

var facebook = new fbsdk.Facebook({
	appId  : 'YOUR APP ID',
	secret : 'YOUR API SECRET',
	request  : request (http.ServerRequest),
	response : response (http.ServerResponse)
});

To make API calls:

facebook.api('/me', function(me) {
	if (me.error) {
		console.log(me);
		return;
	}
	
	// do something interesting
});

Logged in vs Logged out:

if (facebook.getSession()) {
	print('<a href="' + facebook.getLogoutUrl() + '">Logout</a>');
} else {
	print('<a href="' + facebook.getLoginUrl() + '">Login</a>');
}

Tests

The tests have been ported to run using nodeunit. This was the easiest way to confirm the new node.js library works as expected. Some new tests have been added to cover edge cases, and others that are not relevant in the new environment have been removed.
