Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The Facebook PHP SDK can be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). Run this command:

```
composer require joelbutcher/facebook-graph-sdk
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

> **Note:** This version of the Facebook SDK for PHP requires PHP 8.0 or greater.

Simple GET example of a user's profile.

```
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; // change path as needed

$fb = new \Facebook\Facebook([
  'app_id' => '{app-id}',
  'app_secret' => '{app-secret}',
  'default_graph_version' => 'v2.10',
  //'default_access_token' => '{access-token}', // optional
]);

// Use one of the helper classes to get a Facebook\Authentication\AccessToken instance.
//   $helper = $fb->getRedirectLoginHelper();
//   $helper = $fb->getJavaScriptHelper();
//   $helper = $fb->getCanvasHelper();
//   $helper = $fb->getPageTabHelper();

try {
  // Get the \Facebook\GraphNodes\GraphUser object for the current user.
  // If you provided a 'default_access_token', the '{access-token}' is optional.
  $response = $fb->get('/me', '{access-token}');
} catch(\Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookResponseException $e) {
  // When Graph returns an error
  echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
} catch(\Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e) {
  // When validation fails or other local issues
  echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
}

$me = $response->getGraphUser();
echo 'Logged in as ' . $me->getName();
```

Complete documentation, installation instructions, and examples are available [here](docs/).

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

1. [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) is a prerequisite for running the tests. Install composer globally, then run `composer install` to install required files.
2. Create a test app on [Facebook Developers](https://developers.facebook.com), then create `tests/FacebookTestCredentials.php` from `tests/FacebookTestCredentials.php.dist` and edit it to add your credentials.
3. The tests can be executed by running this command from the root directory:

```
$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit
```

By default the tests will send live HTTP requests to the Graph API. If you are without an internet connection you can skip these tests by excluding the `integration` group.

```
$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit --exclude-group integration
```
