FB.ui

Overview

FB.ui is a generic helper method for triggering Dialogs that access the Facebook Dialog API endpoint.

These include:

• Publishing a story to the feed

• Prompting the user to add a friend

• Prompting the user to authorize your application, or grant it permissions

• Prompting a payment

• Prompting the user to send an application request to a friend

• Prompting the user to share a link

Example

To invoke the feed dialog, use the name of the dialog as the method and optionally specify other properties documented in the feed dialog documentation:

FB.ui(
  {
    method: 'feed',
    name: 'Facebook Dialogs',
    link: 'http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/',
    picture: 'http://fbrell.com/f8.jpg',
    caption: 'Reference Documentation',
    description: 'Dialogs provide a simple, consistent interface for applications to interface with users.'
  },
  function(response) {
    if (response && response.post_id) {
      alert('Post was published.');
    } else {
      alert('Post was not published.');
    }
  }
);
