Buddy is a lightweight Facebook library for Rails 3.
- Support for iFrame Apps
- Supports signed_request and cookies for authentication
- Supports the Graph API and old REST API
- Fully compatible with Rails 3 and Ruby 1.9.2
Add the following to your Gemfile
gem 'buddy'
or for the latest Git version
gem 'buddy', :git => 'git://github.com/Hoodow/buddy.git'
Generate and edit config/buddy.yml
rails generate buddy_config
Buddy adds all parameters contained in signed_request to the params[:fb] hash. See Canvas Authentication
To require the user to install the application add this to your ApplicationController:
before_filter :ensure_application_is_installed
If the user authorized the application you can do API calls like this:
# Publish to Graph API:
facebook_session.post('/me/feed', :message => 'Hi there!')
# Reading from Graph API:
facebook_session.get('/me')
# REST API
facebook_session.call('users.getInfo')
- Add tests
