how to use facebook API getting friend's list in javascript

Question

I am not familiar with using Facebook Javascript SDK. My story is when I access to the website It displays all my friends(pic and name) on a webpage. I registered Facebook API and App ID I put website URL as http://localhost:81/ because I am testing my own local machine. Do you have any good example website or good examples? Please share with me Thank you.

First your app should use required permissions like,

user_birthday,  friends_birthday, user_location , friends_location...  

( for more permissions)

Get info about current user:

FB.api('/me', function(response) {
  //  Stuff here
});

Get info about current user's friends:

FB.api('/me/friends', function(response) {
  //  Stuff here
});

you will get the response like,

{data: [{id: "FRIEND1_ID", name: "FRIEND1_NAME"}, {id: "FRIEND2_ID", name: "FRIEND2_NAME"}]....}

If you want get some more properties of your friends, use FIELDS parameter, like

FB.api('/me/friends', {fields: 'name,id,location,birthday'}, function(response) {
   //  Stuff here
});

If want to get individual user's friend info:

FB.api('/FRIEND1_ID', function(response) {
  //  Stuff here
 });
