Makes the FB graph API easy to use
npm install fb-graph-api --save
const { FbRequest } = require('fb-graph-api');
let config = {
token: '', //optional - FB access_token
api: 'v2.9' //optional - defaults to v2.9
};
const fbRequest = new FbRequest(config);
- Use a config token if you have a default token for all calls (eg system user)
- Each individual request can override this token with a
tokenparam
fbRequest.setToken('') // token must be a string - empty string removes default token
let data = await(fbRequest.get({
edge, // required
fields, // optional - must be an array of strings ['id','name']
params, // optional - must be an object { limit: 4 }
token // required if no default token on initalization ELSE optional - will override the default token
}));
let data = await(fbRequest.post({
edge, // required
params, // required - must be an object { name: 'New Name', email: 'newemail@xyz.com' }
token // required if no default token on initalization ELSE optional - will override the default token
}));
let data = await(fbRequest.delete({
edge, // required
token // required if no default token on initalization ELSE optional - will override the default token
}));
let data = await(fbRequest.page({
edge, // required
fields, // optional - must be an array of strings ['id','name']
params, // optional - must be an object { limit: 4 },
pages, // optional - max number of pages returned. Defaults to all
token // required if no default token on initalization ELSE optional - will override the default token
}));
- Errors will return a human readable message from Facebook
- The error object will also contain a url property which has the url of the call that errored for further debugging purposes
