ngx-facebook

This is a wrapper for the official Facebook JavaScript SDK. It makes it easier to use Facebook SDK with Angular 2+ by providing components, providers and types.

Installation

1. Install via NPM:

npm i --save ngx-facebook

2. Add the Facebook JavaScript SDK to your index.html

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"></script>

3. Import FacebookModule into your app's root module

import { FacebookModule } from 'ngx-facebook';

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    FacebookModule.forRoot()
  ],
  ...
})
export class AppModule { }

If you only want to use FacebookService only, without using the other components, then you can import it in your app's module instead of FacebookModule.

4. Inject FacebookService and call the init method (optional):

This method must be called before using login or api methods. It is not required for other methods/components.

import { FacebookService, InitParams } from 'ngx-facebook';

...

export class MyComponentOrService {

  constructor(private fb: FacebookService) {

    let initParams: InitParams = {
      appId: '1234566778',
      xfbml: true,
      version: 'v2.8'
    };

    fb.init(initParams);

  }

}

}

Example of sharing on Facebook

import { FacebookService, UIParams, UIResponse } from 'ngx-facebook';

...

    method: 'share'
  };

  this.fb.ui(params)

Example of playing a Facebook video

Basic video component usage:

<fb-video href="https://www.facebook.com/facebook/videos/10153231379946729/"></fb-video>

Advanced video component usage:

<fb-video href="https://www.facebook.com/facebook/videos/10153231379946729/" (paused)="onVideoPaused($event)"></fb-video>

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { FBVideoComponent } from 'ngx-facebook';

@Component(...)
export class MyComponent {

  @ViewChild(FBVideoComponent) video: FBVideoComponent;

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.video.play();
    this.video.pause();
    this.video.getVolume();
  }

  onVideoPaused(ev: any) {
    console.log('User paused the video');
