The Facebook plugin for Uppy lets users import files from their Facebook account.
A Companion instance is required for the Facebook plugin to work. Companion handles authentication with Facebook, downloads files from Facebook and uploads them to the destination. This saves the user bandwidth, especially helpful if they are on a mobile connection.
Uppy is being developed by the folks at Transloadit, a versatile file encoding service.
import Uppy from '@uppy/core'
import Facebook from '@uppy/facebook'
const uppy = new Uppy()
uppy.use(Facebook, {
// Options
})$ npm install @uppy/facebookAlternatively, you can also use this plugin in a pre-built bundle from Transloadit’s CDN: Edgly. In that case Uppy will attach itself to the global window.Uppy object. See the main Uppy documentation for instructions.
Documentation for this plugin can be found on the Uppy website.
