Usage

The Facebook Login Kit library offers a range of features for seamless user authentication. Here are some common use cases:

Login Button

“`html




“`


The `scope` attribute defines the permissions you request from the user. In this example, it requests access to the public profile and email.


The `onlogin` event can trigger a JavaScript function to handle the login result.

Manual Login

“`swift

// Implement the following code in your app to manually handle Facebook login

import FBSDKLoginKit

let loginManager = LoginManager()

loginManager.logIn(permissions: [“public_profile”, “email”], from: self) { (result, error) in
if error != nil {
// Handle error
} else if result?.isCancelled ?? false {
// Handle cancelation
} else {
// Handle successful login
print(“Logged in with Facebook”)
}
}
“`

Use the `logIn` method of the `LoginManager` class to manually request Facebook login.
