facebook.ex

Installation

Add facebook.ex as a dependency in your mix.exs file.

defp deps do
  [{:facebook, "~> 0.15.0"}]
end

After you are done, run this in your shell to fetch the new dependency:

$ mix deps.get

Usage

1. Register an application on developer.facebook.com
2. Get the access token from the settings page of your registered application

Then you can get started with code.

Start an iex shell in your project folder:

$ iex -S mix

Then try some API calls:

iex(1)> Facebook.me("first_name", "ACCESSTOKEN")

14:31:18.720 [info]  [get] https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me?fields=first_name&access_token=ACCESSTOKEN [] ""
