I\'m working on using Facebook\'s Javascript SDK for authentication. I\'ve been able to import the SDK properly and put a Like button on my page. But, the facebook login but

Answer 1

This is by far the cleanest and simplest way I could think of if you want to use the button from FB instead of your own.

To use the button, it's as simple as this.

This component is completely self-contained, and highly compostable because it doesn't rely on any external dependency nor does it have any predefined behavior other than rendering the FB login button.

import React, { Component } from 'react';

class FbLoginBtn extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    // post login behavior should be defined at a higher level
    this.onSuccess = this.props.onSuccess || (() => {});
    this.onFailure = this.props.onFailure || (() => {});
    this.onSuccess = this.onSuccess.bind(this);
    this.onFailure = this.onFailure.bind(this);
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    // This is the meat of the component
    // create a script tag, load FB SDK
    // then after script is loaded, set related behavior
    // If you have other components that rely on the FB SDK
    // I recommend extracting this into its own module
    let self = this;
    let scriptTag = document.createElement('script');
    scriptTag.type = 'text/javascript';
    scriptTag.src = "http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.4&appId=xxxxx";
    scriptTag.addEventListener('load', function (e) {
      self.FB = window.FB;
      // I don't like exposing the SDK to global scope
      window.FB = null;

      // This subscribe the callback when login status change
      // Full list of events is here
      // https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Event.subscribe/v2.9
      self.FB.Event.subscribe('auth.statusChange', self.onStatusChange.bind(self));
    });
    document.body.appendChild(scriptTag);
  }

  onStatusChange(response) {
    if (response.status === 'connected') {
      const { accessToken } = response.authResponse;
      // I have a afterLogin optional callback
      // which takes care of ads landing, invitation or any other custom behavior
      this.onSuccess(accessToken, this.props.afterLogin);
    } else {
      this.onFailure();
    }
  }

  render() {
    return (
      

      
    );
  }
}

export default FbLoginBtn;
