The Facebook Platform is a set of APIs that make your application more social. Read more about integrating Facebook with your web site on the Facebook developer site.
This project contains the open source Grails Facebook SDK Plugin that allows you to integrate the Facebook Platform on a website/app powered by Grails.
This plugin is a port of the official Facebook PHP SDK V3.1.1 to Grails 2.0.
It supports the latest OAuth2.0 authentication (required since October 1st 2011).
Grails Facebook SDK Plugin provides the following Grails artefacts:
- FacebookContext - A Spring bean to get current Facebook context in controllers, when running apps on Facebook.com or websites with the Facebook Platform.
- FacebookGraphClient - A client to call Facebook Graph API, which is a wrapper around the rock solid RestFB java library version 1.6.10 (released September 03, 2012).
- FacebookJSTagLib - A collection of tags to easily integrate Facebook JS SDK in your GSPs.
Declare the plugin dependency in the BuildConfig.groovvy file, as shown here:
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
inherits("global") { }
log "info"
repositories {
//your repositories
}
dependencies {
//your regular dependencies
}
plugins {
//here go your plugin dependencies
runtime ':facebook-sdk:0.4.3'
}
}Create a Facebook app on Facebook Developers, in order to get your own app ID and app secret.
Add your Facebook app parameters to your grails-app/conf/Config.groovy:
grails.plugin.facebooksdk.app.id = {APP_ID}
grails.plugin.facebooksdk.app.permissions = {APP_PERMISSIONS} // Ex. ['email','user_photos']
grails.plugin.facebooksdk.app.secret = {APP_SECRET}If you want to quickly run the SDK on a demo app, you can download Facebook SDK Grails - Demo.
To see an example of integration with Shiro Grails Plugin, you can download Facebook SDK Grails - Shiro demo.
