Extends Facebook PHP SDK to return file size of remote files

Currently the Facebook SDK for PHP does not return the file size of remote files for which remote files cannot be uploaded. This is a bug and though there is a pull request for it but it has not been merged yet. This package extends the Facebook SDK to return the file size and upload remote files.

Install

You can install this package via composer.

composer require muvi/facebook

Usage

Instead of using Facebook\Facebook just use

use FacebookExtended\Facebook;
...
$fbConfig = [
    'app_id' => 'YOUR-FACEBOOK-APP-ID',
    'app_secret' => 'YOUR-FACEBOOK-SECRET-KEY',
    'default_graph_version' => 'v6.0',
];

$fb = new Facebook($fbConfig);

This will handle all types of files i.e. local, remote and also stream wrappers.

By default Facebook resumable upload uses 1 Mb chunk for uploading. If you want to upload chunks greater than 1 Mb then you can pass the chunk size in bytes to the uploadVideo method.

use FacebookExtended\Facebook;
...
$fbConfig = [
    'app_id' => 'YOUR-FACEBOOK-APP-ID',
    'app_secret' => 'YOUR-FACEBOOK-SECRET-KEY',
    'default_graph_version' => 'v6.0',
];

$fb = new Facebook($fbConfig);
$fb->setDefaultAccessToken(YOUR_PAGE_TOKEN);
$chunkSize = 1048576 * 5;
$response = $fb->uploadVideo(YOUR_FACEBOOK_PAGE_ID, YOUR_VIDEO_PATH, [META DATA], null, 5, null, $chunkSize);

The above example will upload 5Mb chunks. Do not use large sizes otherwise you would lose the benefit of Resumable upload.
