Facebook Graph API - upload photo using JavaScript

Question

Is it possible to upload a file using the Facebook Graph API using javascript, I feel like I\'m close. I\'m using the following JavaScript

var params = {};

This still works. I am using it as below:

var formdata= new FormData();
if (postAs === 'page'){
    postTo = pageId; //post to page using pageID
}

formdata.append("access_token", accessToken); //append page access token if to post as page, uAuth|paAuth
formdata.append("message", photoDescription);
formdata.append("url", 'http://images/image.png');

try {
    $.ajax({
        url: 'https://graph.facebook.com/'+ postTo +'/photos',
        type: "POST",
        data: formdata,
        processData: false,
        contentType: false,
        cache: false,
        error: function (shr, status, data) {
            console.log("error " + data + " Status " + shr.status);
        },
        complete: function () {
            console.log("Successfully uploaded photo to Facebook");
        }
    });
} catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
}

I have to ask though if you people have any idea if this is advisable or has a big security risk compared to using PHP api for Facebook.
