# FAuthentication

Node.js module to integrate quickly your Node app with Facebook OAuth authentication

## How to use it

### 1. create your Facebook app on [Facebook Developers](https://developers.facebook.com/apps)

### 2. install FAuthentication

```js

	npm install fauthentication

```

### 3. specify settings for FAuthentication (with settings of your Facebook app)

```js

/* import fauthentication */

var fauthentication=require('fauthentication')

/* set FAuthentication's options (parameters of Facebook app and callbacks) */

fauthentication.settings({

    client_id: 'your-app-id',

    client_secret: 'your-app-secret',

    redirect_uri: 'http://your-site-domain:your-port/fauthentication/getAccessToken',

    app: app,

    callback: function(accessToken){

        console.log('now you have access token',accessToken);

        fauthentication.getUser(function(user){

            console.log('Facebook user data',user);

            // here you can save user, log in...

        })

    }

})

```

### 4. bind the urls of your application with FAuthentication's request handlers 

```js

/*  set FAuthentication's url*/

app.get('/fauthentication/authenticate',fauthentication.auth)

app.get('/fauthentication/getAccessToken',fauthentication.getAccessToken) /* this must be according to `redirect_uri` settings (see above) */

``` 

### 5. In your login page insert a button to login and corresponding javascript function to open Facebook dialog box

```html

...

	

		var login=function(){

			window.open('/fauthentication/authenticate?next=/', 'Facebook Login', 'width=300px, height=300');

		}

	

	Facebook Login		

...

``` 

## Try with examples

```

git clone [email protected]:bitliner/FAuthentication.git fauthentication

cd fauthentication/examples/fauthentication-with-express

npm install

node app.js

// now in your browser go to http://localhost:3000/ 

```
