Use Facebook OAuth in a simple way inside your electron App.

Installation

add it to your electron project using npm install oauth-electron-facebook --save or yarn add oauth-electron-facebook

Usage

require oauth-electron-facebook exports a function that requires a javascript object and an electron window, as seen on the next example:

const auth = require('oauth-electron-facebook')
const { BrowserWindow, session } = require('electron')

let info = {
    key: ***,
    secret: ***,
    scope: ***
},
window = new BrowserWindow({webPreferences: {nodeIntegration: false}});

auth.login(info, window, session)

the login function will return a Promise with the access token and secret

{
    "access_token":<string>,
    "token_type":<string>,
    "expires_in":<number>
}

Security

Consider this before you integrate this library in your application:

It is a bad practice to hardcode keys & secrets in code that is going to be shipped.
If you are looking to have your own backend, consider using it for authentication with 3rd party services. IETF RFC 8252.

Migration V1.x to V2.x

the response from facebook has changed so please adapt, there does not seem to be any refresh token anymore
session is required to be passed as events of chromium have changed
localhost is not anymore an accepted url for redirect configure and use "https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html"

Migration V0.x to V1.x

there is no more need for the facebook object, info becomes a basic object with the properties stated in the usage step.
the return object has a different format.
