facebookConnectPlugin is not defined (ngCordova, Ionic app)

Question

I'm trying to add native fb connect to my ionic app.

I'm using: - Ionic - ngCordova - http://ngcordova.com/docs/plugins/facebook/

This is my code:

angular.module('starter.controllers', ['ngCordova'])

.config(function($cordovaFacebookProvider) {
var appID = 123456789;
var version = "v2.0"; // or leave blank and default is v2.0
$cordovaFacebookProvider.browserInit(appID, version);
})

Which leads to this error >

Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module starter due to:
Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module starter.controllers due to:

Tried a couple of things but without any positive result: - When I build it and run it on my device the app displays a blank screen

• Tried the normal cordova js code:

• Changed $cordovaFacebookProvider to $cordovaFacebook (based on this thread: forum.ionicframework.com/t/unknown-provider-cordovaprovider/13305/3

• And this is a another related thread, but doesn't help me thought.. forum.ionicframework.com/t/does-ng-crodova-has-facebook-login/9163

I already have a prototype working with the fb auth in the in-app-browser. But I really want to have a native fb connect functionality.

Answer 1

i found a way to resolve this issue.

Thanks to this thread : https://github.com/driftyco/ng-cordova/issues/446

and this tutorial : https://github.com/Wizcorp/phonegap-facebook-plugin/blob/master/platforms/browser/README.md

1st step : Don't forget the <div id="fb-root"></div> after ur body.

2nd step : I added facebookConnectPlugin to my bower dependencies

See my bower.json :

"dependencies": {
    "angular-google-maps": "~2.0.13",
    "google-map": "~0.4.1",
    "facebook-connect-plugin": "https://cdn.rawgit.com/Wizcorp/phonegap-facebook-plugin/master/facebookConnectPlugin.js"
}

See my app.config + code to init:

app.config(function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $ionicConfigProvider, $animateProvider, $httpProvider, $cordovaFacebookProvider) {

var appID = 597135743751760;
var version = "v2.0"; // or leave blank and default is v2.0
$cordovaFacebookProvider.browserInit(appID, version);

$cordovaFacebookProvider call facebookConnectPlugin()

3th step : After changing this dependencies, don't forget to call bower update from ur CLI.

4th step : Include the new facebookblablabla.js in your index.html.

it can be

<script src='bower_components/facebook-connect-plugin/index.js'></script>

for me it was

<script src='lib/facebook-connect-plugin/index.js'></script>

5th step : add in the Valid OAuth redirect URIs field at your Facebook App : http://static.ak.facebook.com/connect/xd_arbiter/

Hope it works for you :) !
