ngx-facebook

This is a wrapper for the official Facebook JavaScript SDK. It makes it easier to use Facebook SDK with Angular by providing components, providers and types.

Installation

1. Install via NPM:

npm i -S ngx-facebook

2. Add the Facebook JavaScript SDK to your index.html

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"></script>

3. Import FacebookModule into your app's root module

import { FacebookModule } from 'ngx-facebook';

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    FacebookModule.forRoot()
  ],
  ...
})
export class AppModule { }

4. Inject FacebookService and call the init method (optional):

This method must be called before using login or api methods. It is not required for other methods/components.

import { FacebookService, InitParams } from 'ngx-facebook';

...

export class MyComponentOrService {

  constructor(private fb: FacebookService) {

    const initParams: InitParams = {
      appId: '1234566778',
      xfbml: true,
      version: 'v2.8'
    };

    fb.init(initParams);

  }

}
