How to use graph API with react-native-fbsdk? - facebook-graph-api

Question

I read the document, both on github and Facebook developers docs.
There is only sample, nothing more. No API document.
The code to make a Graph API request is
const infoRequest = new GraphRequest(
'/me',
null,
this._responseInfoCallback,
);
And the callback
_responseInfoCallback(error: ?Object, result: ?Object) {
if (error) {
alert('Error fetching data: ' + error.toString());
} else {
alert('Success fetching data: ' + result.toString());
}
}
And here is the function to make a Graph API request
testRequestGraphAPI(){
const infoRequest = new GraphRequest(
'/me',
null,
this._responseInfoCallback,
);
new GraphRequestManager().addRequest(infoRequest).start();
}
However, I can't find any further document. I have no idea what each parameters do.
The result for these codes above is this.
I also don't know how to get the result.
However, when I try to modify '\me' to 'me?fields=id,name', It failed.
Although I have asked for permission
<LoginButton
publishPermissions={["publish_actions,user_birthday, user_religion_politics, user_relationships, user_relationship_details, user_hometown, user_location, user_likes, user_education_history, user_work_history, user_website, user_managed_groups, user_events, user_photos, user_videos, user_friends, user_about_me, user_status, user_games_activity, user_tagged_places, user_posts, user_actions.video, user_actions.news, user_actions.books, user_actions.music, user_actions.fitness, public_profile, basic_info"]}
onLoginFinished={
(error, result) => {
if (error) {
alert("login has error: " + result.error);
} else if (result.isCancelled) {
alert("login is cancelled.");
} else {
AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken().then(
(data) => {
meow_accesstoken = data.accessToken
alert(meow_accesstoken.toString())
}
)
}
}
}
onLogoutFinished={() => alert("logout.")}/>
But it does not print out what error, just object Object.
So, the problem is that I don't understand the sample code which Facebook provide with no explanation.
Here is my question that I really need you help me:
First at all, please check the javascript code that I currently looking at?
How to use graph API in react-native-fbsdk to retrieve some user information (example: full name) and successfully display it (use alert) ?
What each parameters in GraphRequest() do ?
What is the structure of error object and result object in _responseInfoCallback ?
SOLUTION
Thanks to #Samuel answer, I have updated my code
testRequestGraphAPI: function(){
const infoRequest = new GraphRequest(
'/me',
{
parameters: {
fields: {
string: 'email,name,first_name,middle_name,last_name' // what you want to get
},
access_token: {
string: meow_accesstoken.toString() // put your accessToken here
}
}
},
this._responseInfoCallback // make sure you define _responseInfoCallback in same class
);
new GraphRequestManager().addRequest(infoRequest).start();
}
And the callback
_responseInfoCallback: function(error: ?Object, result: ?Object) {
alert("meow response");
if (error) {
alert('Error fetching data: ' + error.toString());
console.log(Object.keys(error));// print all enumerable
console.log(error.errorMessage); // print error message
// error.toString() will not work correctly in this case
// so let use JSON.stringify()
meow_json = JSON.stringify(error); // error object => json
console.log(meow_json); // print JSON
} else {
alert('Success fetching data: ' + result.toString());
console.log(Object.keys(result));
meow_json = JSON.stringify(result); // result => JSON
console.log(meow_json); // print JSON
}
}
*Note: For console.log(), you need to use "Debug JS remotely" then open Chrome developer tools to see the log.

Unfortunately the react-native-fbsdk documentation is not updated and the examples do not work well.
I got the same problem and I solved it by try and error.
To solve your problem you'll need to change your GraphRequest adding params and fields to it like this:
<LoginButton
onLoginFinished={
(error, result) => {
if (error) {
alert("login has error: " + result.error);
} else if (result.isCancelled) {
alert("login is cancelled.");
} else {
AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken().then(
(data) => {
let accessToken = data.accessToken
alert(accessToken.toString())
const responseInfoCallback = (error, result) => {
if (error) {
console.log(error)
alert('Error fetching data: ' + error.toString());
} else {
console.log(result)
alert('Success fetching data: ' + result.toString());
}
}
const infoRequest = new GraphRequest(
'/me',
{
accessToken: accessToken,
parameters: {
fields: {
string: 'email,name,first_name,middle_name,last_name'
}
}
},
responseInfoCallback
);
// Start the graph request.
new GraphRequestManager().addRequest(infoRequest).start()
}
)
}
}
}
onLogoutFinished={() => alert("logout.")}/>
You'll need to enable the Remote JS Debug to see the console.log() info.
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/debugging.html
And probably you need to get some permissions to get more info than names and email so it's a good idea to look the Facebook Graph API Documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/overview/

Here is an example of a custom button if you want to make one :)
FbLoginButton() {
LoginManager
.logInWithReadPermissions(['public_profile'])
.then(function (result) {
if (result.isCancelled) {
alert('Login cancelled');
} else {
AccessToken
.getCurrentAccessToken()
.then((data) => {
let accessToken = data.accessToken
alert(accessToken.toString())
const responseInfoCallback = (error, result) => {
if (error) {
console.log(error)
alert('Error fetching data: ' + error.toString());
} else {
console.log(result)
alert('Success fetching data: ' + result.toString());
}
}
const infoRequest = new GraphRequest('/me', {
accessToken: accessToken,
parameters: {
fields: {
string: 'email,name,first_name,middle_name,last_name'
}
}
}, responseInfoCallback);
// Start the graph request.
new GraphRequestManager()
.addRequest(infoRequest)
.start()
})
}
}, function (error) {
alert('Login fail with error: ' + error);
});
}

Thank you #Samuel.
I finally succeed to get user information from Facebook login because of your help!
But I struggled to figure out how can I get username and email literally from the result object cause I am a newbie in React & Javascript.
P.S. result["name"] is the point because it is object!!
So I added some code to yours for other people like me.
If you don't like using your code, just tell me that.
<LoginButton
onLoginFinished={
(error, result) => {
if (error) {
alert("login has error: " + result.error);
} else if (result.isCancelled) {
alert("login is cancelled.");
} else {
AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken().then(
(data) => {
let accessToken = data.accessToken
alert(accessToken.toString())
const responseInfoCallback = (error, result) => {
if (error) {
console.log(error)
alert('Error fetching data: ' + error.toString());
} else {
console.log(result)
// Here's my code
alert('Success fetching data: ' + result["name"].toString() +
", " + result["email"].toString());
/*
if(your DB already got this email or something unique) {
// SignIn()
}
// when your DB doesn't have this email
else {
// Do signUp() with this infomation and SignIn()
}
*/
}
}
const infoRequest = new GraphRequest(
'/me',
{
accessToken: accessToken,
parameters: {
fields: {
string: 'email,name,first_name,middle_name,last_name'
}
}
},
responseInfoCallback
);
// Start the graph request.
new GraphRequestManager().addRequest(infoRequest).start()
}
)
}
}
}
onLogoutFinished={() => alert("logout.")}/>

My code was not retriving the user email, if you are having the same problem, just put 'email' in parameter's logInWithPermission
Not Working
LoginManager.logInWithPermissions(['public_profile']).then(...)
Working
LoginManager.logInWithPermissions(['public_profile', 'email']).then(...)
All Function
loginWithFacebook = () => {
LoginManager.logInWithPermissions(['public_profile', 'email']).then(
login => {
if (login.isCancelled) {
console.log('Login Cancelado');
} else {
AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken().then(
(data) => {
const accessToken = data.accessToken.toString()
this.getInfoFromToken(accessToken)
})
}
},
error => {
console.log('Erro no login ', console.error(error)
)
}
)
}
getInfoFromToken = token => {
const PROFILE_REQUEST_PARAMS = {
fields: {
string: 'id, name, first_name, last_name, birthday, email'
},
}
const profileRequest = new GraphRequest('/me', { token, parameters: PROFILE_REQUEST_PARAMS },
(error, result) => {
if (error) {
console.log('Login Info has an error:', error)
} else {
console.log(result)
}
},
)
new GraphRequestManager().addRequest(profileRequest).start()
}

try this
import { GraphRequest, GraphRequestManager } from 'react-native-fbsdk';
export const GetInfoUSer = () => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const infoRequest = new GraphRequest('/me', null, ((error, result) => {
if (error) {
reject(error)
} else {
resolve(result)
}
}))
new GraphRequestManager().addRequest(infoRequest).start();
})
}
and then
onLoginConFacebook = () => {
LoginManager.logInWithReadPermissions(['public_profile']).then(result => {
if (result.isCancelled) {
console.log(':(')
} else {
AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken().then((data) => {
let myAccessToken = data.accessToken.toString();
GetInfoUSer().then(response => {
console.log(response)
}).catch(error => {
console.log(error)
})
}
).catch(error => {
console.log(':(')
})
}
})
}
