Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

1. Add exfacebook to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do
     [{:exfacebook, "~> 0.0.9"}]
   end
   

2. Ensure exfacebook is started before your application:

   def application do
     [applications: [:exfacebook]]
   end
   

Examples

  {:ok, pid} = Exfacebook.start_link

  {:ok, attributes} = Exfacebook.get_object(pid, :me, %{access_token: "access-token"})

  {:ok, %{"data" => collection}} = response = Exfacebook.get_connections(pid, :feed, %{fields: "id, name", access_token: "access-token"})

  response = Exfacebook.get_connections(pid, :feed, %{fields: "id, name", access_token: "access-token"})
  {:ok, %{"data" => collection1}} = response2 = Exfacebook.next_page(pid, response)
  {:ok, %{"data" => collection2}} = Exfacebook.prev_page(pid, response2)

Example of batch requests:

  [{:ok, %{"data" => collection}}, {:ok, %{"id" => id, "name" => name}}] = Exfacebook.batch(%{access_token: "access-token"}, fn(api) ->
    api = api |> Exfacebook.get_object(pid, :me, %{fields: "id, name"})
    api = api |> Exfacebook.get_connections(pid, :feed, %{fields: "id, name"})
    api
  end)

Example of posting message to feed:

  Exfacebook.put_connections(:me, :feed, %{access_token: "access-token"}, %{message: "hello"})

Using Exfacebook.Api outside of GenServer. Exfacebook module is working as proxy for accessing Api module by specifying GET requests as call and PUT as cast actions.

  {:ok, attributes} = Exfacebook.Api.get_object(:me, %{access_token: "access-token"})

Examples

  iex -S mix

  Code.require_file("example.exs", "examples/")

It should produce logging messages about the objects and attributes from feed and me requests.
