Simple OAuth2 Facebook

This library is a wrapper around Simple OAuth2 Library

Specially made for Authorization Code Flow with Facebook.

Requirements

Latest Node 8 LTS or newer versions.

Getting started

npm install --save simple-oauth2 @jimmycode/simple-oauth2-facebook

or

yarn add simple-oauth2 @jimmycode/simple-oauth2-facebook

Usage

const simpleOAuth2Facebook = require('@jimmycode/simple-oauth2-facebook');
const facebook = simpleOAuth2Facebook.create(options);

facebook object exposes 3 keys:

• authorize: Middleware to request user's authorization.

returnError	false	When is false (default), will call the next middleware with the error object. When is true, will set req.tokenError to the error, and call the next middleware as if there were no error.
authorizeHost	'https://facebook.com'
authorizePath	'/dialog/oauth'
tokenHost	'https://graph.facebook.com'
tokenPath	'/oauth/access_token'
authorizeOptions	{}	Pass extra parameters when requesting authorization.

Example

Original boilerplate

const oauth2 = require('simple-oauth2').create({
  client: {
    id: process.env.FACEBOOK_APP_ID,
    secret: process.env.FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET
  },
  auth: {
    authorizeHost: 'https://facebook.com/',
    authorizePath: '/dialog/oauth',

    tokenHost: 'https://graph.facebook.com',
    tokenPath: '/oauth/access_token'
  }
});

router.get('/auth/facebook', (req, res) => {
  const authorizationUri = oauth2.authorizationCode.authorizeURL({
    redirect_uri: 'http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook/callback',
    scope: ['email']
  });

  res.redirect(authorizationUri);
});

router.get('/auth/facebook/callback', async(req, res) => {
  const code = req.query.code;
  const options = {
    code,
    redirect_uri: 'http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook/callback'
  };

  try {
    // The resulting token.
    const result = await oauth2.authorizationCode.getToken(options);

    // Exchange for the access token.
    const token = oauth2.accessToken.create(result);

    return res.status(200).json(token);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Access Token Error', error.message);
    return res.status(500).json('Authentication failed');
  }
});

With SimpleOAuth2Facebook

const simpleOAuth2Facebook = require('@jimmycode/simple-oauth2-facebook');

const facebook = simpleOAuth2Facebook.create({
  clientId: process.env.FACEBOOK_APP_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET,
  callbackURL: 'http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook/callback'
});

// Ask the user to authorize.
router.get('/auth/facebook', facebook.authorize);

// Exchange the token for the access token.
router.get('/auth/facebook/callback', facebook.accessToken, (req, res) => {
  return res.status(200).json(req.token);
});
