FB.init
Overview
After loading the JavaScript SDK, call FB.init to initialize the SDK with your app ID. This will let you make calls against the Facebook API.
If you're using the SDK alongside jQuery or RequireJS, the following guides may be useful:
- Using the Facebook SDK for JavaScript with jQuery

Note: All FB.API methods must be called after FB.init.
