Get Facebook Friends with Geddy-Passport

[Eric Ponce]

Hello!

I'ts possible to get the facebook friends when we do login with geddy-passport and facebook?

thanks!!!

[Eric Ponce]

Matthew its possible or geddy-passport dont support this?

thanks!

I'm not sure exactly what the Facebook API supports, but I would guess getting a list of friends should be possible.

I can't check at the moment what Facebook gives Passport back in the response, as Facebook auth seems to be broken. Twitter still works fine, so I'm going to assume FB broke compatibility in their response somehow.

Probably what we need to do is to stash the OAuth token in the user's session as well as the local userId, so you can make calls to the FB API and ask for stuff like the friends list.

But first, I'll have to fix Facebook auth. :)

I did something similar in Rails and you guys are on the right track, all you need is to store that access token somewhere.

Miguel how can I save the acces token? Where is it?

[Matthew Eernisse]

I just realized the reason FB auth wasn't working was because I'd revoked the creds for the app I was testing with. I'll take a look at getting easy access to the access token.

[Eric Ponce]

Oh thanks matthew!!!! :D

One thing more. When I do a login with Facebook, in the console the callback show this: http://i.imgur.com/5QF7yqT.png

Is the access token?

[Matthew Eernisse]

All right, I've updated Geddy-Passport so that when you log in with a third-party service (e.g., Facebook), you get an 'authData' session variable that holds any tokens that Passport initially used for retrieving the profile from the service. You should be able to use that data to make API calls using geddy.request, or whatever request library you want to use.

These changes are in geddy-passport v0.0.21.

[Eric Ponce]

Yeah! Success! :D

If someone need to do the same, this is my code:

We need "request", install it with "npm"

if(self.session.get('authData')){

    request({

      uri: "https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=" + self.session.get('authData').token,

      method: "GET",

      timeout: 10000

    }, function(error, response, body) {

        var fb = JSON.parse(body);

        //show friends list

        console.log(fb.data);

    });

}

thanks Matthew!!! ;)

Matthew, wich is the best method to do an geddy auth update?

Now my deployed app crashes :S

thanks!!

[Eric Ponce]

Imagine that I have a Geddy App, with the old Geddy auth.

If I do "geddy auth" all my edited files from the auth part (helpers in major part) will be reedited and I'll lost my process.

How can I do it for update this without problems?

thanks a lot! ;)

[Matthew Eernisse]

This is a general problem with code-generation. You have to track the customizations you've made, and re-apply them whenever you update from the source.

You can run the auth generator in a fresh app, and compare the difference with what you have. Or, if you've been tracking your changes to the generated code, do a diff from when you first run the auth generator to see what your customizations are, and re-apply them after you do your update.

Hope that helps.

thanks Matthew. i'll do this
