tl;dr A small wrapper that wraps facebook connect in a backbone.js model
This small lib provides a Backbone model that works with the facebook JavaScript SDK.
It can be used to connect a user via facebook, ask for permissions and retrieve profile information.
The events of the facebook SDK are converted to Backbone events so the model can easily be used with Backbone views.
Try it out yourself on the demo page
FB.init({
appId: 'YOUR-FACEBOOK-APP-ID'
})
user = new FacebookUser()
// callback example:
// callback = function(model, response) {}
user.on('facebook:connected', callback)
user.on('facebook:disconnected', callback)
user.on('facebook:unauthorized', callback)
user.login()
user.logout()
user.fetch()
user.updateLoginStatus()
