The tool set is a comprehensive TypeScript and React-based client-side module that provides first-class functionality for adding Social Plugins and Facebook Login to your web application.

This module allows seamless integration of Facebook features into your React components. The following example demonstrates the usage of the components provided by Nom:

Installation

To install the tool set, use the following command:

npm install @tusken-s/facebook-tools
# OR
yarn add @tusken-s/facebook-tools

Usage

Import the required components from the Nom module as shown below:

import { Script, Button } from "@tusken-s/facebook-tools";

Script Component

The Script component enables you to load the necessary Facebook scripts and initialize the Social Plugins. Here is an example of how to use it:

import { Features, Script } from "@tusken-s/facebook-tools";
...
<Script
  cookie={false}
  nonce="xxxxxxx"
  features={[Features.LOGIN_BUTTON, Features.CHAT_PLUGIN]}
  appId={facebook_app_id}
  pageId={facebook_page_id}
/>

Make sure to replace your_theme_color, facebook_app_id and facebook_page_id with the actual values from your application's configuration.

Script Component Props

Prop	Type	Description
appId	string	The Facebook app ID.
pageId	string	The Facebook page ID.
cookie	boolean	Specifies whether the cookie should be used. Default: false.
nonce	string	The nonce value for script security.
language	ISOLangCountry	The language for the script.
features	Array<Features>	An array of Facebook features to enable.

Login Button Component

The Button component provides an easy way to integrate Facebook Login into your application. Here is an example of how to use it:

import { Button } from "@tusken-s/facebook-tools";
...
<Button
  scope="public_profile,email"
  width="100%"
  language="fr_FR"
  buttonType="continue_with"
  callback={loginFacebookCallback}
/>

Replace loginFacebookCallback with the function that will handle the Facebook login callback in your application. Customize the scope and width props as needed.

Or use it as a wrapper for your already made custom button.

<Button scope="public_profile,email" callback={loginFacebookCallback}>
  <button>Custom FB login button</button>
</Button>

Button Component Props

Prop	Type	Description
disabled	boolean	Specifies whether the button is disabled. Default: false.
width	string | number	The width of the button.
scope	string	The Facebook login permissions scope.
buttonType	"continue_with" | "login_with"	The type of the button.
callback	(x: StatusResponse["authResponse"]) => void	The callback function triggered on successful login.
style	CSSProperties	Custom styles to be applied to the button.
language	ISOLangCountry	The language for the button.
children	ReactNode	The content to be displayed inside the button.

Language Support

The Facebook Tools module supports the following languages:

• English (en_US)
• French (fr_FR)
• Arabic (ar_AR)
• Spanish (es_ES)
• German (de_DE)
• Portuguese (pt_PT)
• Chinese (zh_CN)
• Hebrew (he_IL)

If the desired language is not specified or unsupported, the module will default to English (en_US). Additionally, when the user does not explicitly specify a language, the module will automatically use the browser's language setting.

Facebook SDK Type Definitions

In addition to the React components and functionality mentioned above, this module also offers comprehensive type definitions for Facebook's SDK native methods, classes, and tools. By simply installing the module, you gain access to the full range of Facebook SDK features with TypeScript support.

For example, you can use the Facebook SDK methods and classes as follows:

// Access Facebook SDK methods and classes
window.FB.init({
  appId: "your_app_id",
  version: "v12.0",
});

window.FB.api("/me", (response) => {
  console.log(response);
});

and you won't get any type errors.
