facebook.ex

Build Status

Facebook Graph API Wrapper written in Elixir. (documentation)

Installation

Add facebook.ex as a dependency in your mix.exs file.

defp deps do
  [{:facebook, "~> 0.16.0"}]
end

After you are done, run this in your shell to fetch the new dependency:

$ mix deps.get

Usage

  1. Register an application on developer.facebook.com
  2. Get the App ID from the settings page of your registered application

Then you can get started with code.

Start an iex shell in your project folder:

$ iex -S mix

Then try some API calls:

iex(1)> Facebook.me("first_name", "ACCESSTOKEN")
{:ok, %{"first_name" => "Michael"}} # <--- that's the return value

iex(2)> Facebook.object_count(:likes, "262588213843476_801732539929038", "ACCESSTOKEN")
{:ok, 48} # <--- that's the return value

Contributing

We encourage contribution from anyone! If you've got an improvement to the documentation or feature you've implemented, please open a pull request. This project uses credo for code analysis. Running mix credo will give you a nice output which will tell you if any of the changes you've made aren't consistent with the rest of our codebase.

The Facebook Graph API is fairly large and as such we're not using every facet of it, so if you're not seeing an edge that is handled, please report an issue.
