---|---|---|---|
sdk-init | (sdk[Object]) | Returns an object with Facebook SDK instance and scope object. |
[ * ] |
login | (response[Object]) | User logged in. | [ * ] |
logout | (response[Object]) | User logged out. | [ * ] |
click | [Void] | [ * ] |
[ * ] – Scope component event.
Sdk-Init Event
You can use this event to grab the Facebook SDK instance, but also the underlying component scope
object. Using this object, you can control the component empirically, similarly to how you would with ref
.
⚠️ The scope reference is not reactive and you cannot relay on it for other than utilizing the scope methods. For reactivity, use thev-model
directive.
Sdk-Init Event Example
Scope Component (Advanced Customization)
If props, slots and events do not provide enough customization, you can use an underlying component called v-fb-login-scope
. This component uses the render prop (known as “scoped-slot” in Vue) approach for composition. This means, it does not render any HTML or CSS, but rather expose a scoped-slot with attributes and methods that are committed as API.
Props and Events
Refer to the tables above for scope component specific props/events.
Scoped-Slot Scope (Attributes and Methods)
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
login | Function | Call SDK login method. |
logout | Function | Call SDK logout method. |
toggleLogin | Function | Toggle SDK login/logout methods. |
working | Boolean | Asynchronous operation is taking place. |
idle | Boolean | No asynchronous operation is taking place. |
connected | Boolean | User is logged in. |
disconnected | Boolean | User is logged out. |
enabled | Boolean | Button is enabled. |
disabled | Boolean | Button is disabled. |
Scope Component Example
The following snippet is a minimal usage example, see source for a real-world example.
Loading Facebook SDK
This component embeds the Facebook SDK snippet unless it find an existing SDK instance. However, be sure to resolve window.fbAsyncInit
before a component instance is created, otherwise a racing condition will occur and it may not be able to find the SDK instance. See Facebook docs for more.
Nuxt Support
This component renders on the client-side only. To do that, you have to complete a few steps.
- Generate a self-signed certificate.
- Configure
nuxt.config.js
for HTTPS. - Import the component for client-side only:
Legacy Browser Support
Version 3.x
🧡 Mind breaking changes from3.x
to2.x
.
Version 3.x
does NOT include polyfills (core-js
) as 2.x
, in fact it was an error to include them at all. If you require new language API support for legacy browsers, you might have to add it to your app or setup your build target correctly, which will auto apply the necessary polyfills. See Vue CLI docs: https://cli.vuejs.org/guide/browser-compatibility.html#polyfills
Version 2.x
❤️ You probably don’t need to apply transformations or polyfills to support IE.
The current build statistically targets legacy browsers like IE 11 and applies transforms and polyfills adaptively. However, it is bound to change in the future as statistics change. In such case, you’ll need to add @babel/polyfill to your dependencies (notice the deprecated way to do it and the newly recommended one). Additionally, you’ll have to add this component to your transpiled dependencies (e.g., using transpileDependencies
option in vue.config.js
).
⚠️ Notice the difference between a transform and a polyfill. Future syntax has to be transformed, while new language API requires a polyfill.
Version 1.x
💚 TL;DR: Upgrade to2.x
to support legacy browsers.
Versions <=1.3.6
should work in legacy browsers without issues. Versions 1.3.7-1.5.0
require @babel/polyfill
if your app doesn’t already include it. Versions 1.5.1
to 1.6.0
have a maltransformed and unpolyfilled build that will not work with legacy browsers unless you add it to your transpiled dependencies and import @babel/polyfill
. To fix that please upgrade to 2.x
(recommended) or downgrade to <= 1.5.0
.
