I’m completely new in ReactJS and just wanted to play around and test some things out. I was looking into how to implement Facebook API, but getting this error message:
error 'FB' is not defined no-undef
Wasn’t sure how to go about fixing this. Would like to seek help to see what I’m doing wrong here. Am I supposed to import some kind of Facebook API?
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';
class App extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '123141151155', //random app number
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access
// the session
xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page
version : 'v2.3'
});
//JS SDK initialized, now you can use it
FB.XFBML.parse();
// Now that we've initialized the JavaScript SDK, we call
// FB.getLoginStatus(). This function gets the state of the
// person visiting this page and can return one of three states to
// the callback you provide. They can be:
//
// 1. Logged into your app ('connected')
// 2. Logged into Facebook, but not your app ('not_authorized')
// 3. Not logged into Facebook and can't tell if they are logged into
// your app or not.
//
// These three cases are handled in the callback function.
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
this.statusChangeCallback(response);
}.bind(this));
}.bind(this);
// Load the SDK asynchronously
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
}
// Here we run a very simple test of the Graph API after login is
// successful. See statusChangeCallback() for when this call is made.
testAPI() {
console.log('Welcome! Fetching your information.... ');
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log('Successful login for: ' + response.name);
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML =
'Thanks for logging in, ' + response.name + '!';
});
}
// This is called with the results from from FB.getLoginStatus().
statusChangeCallback(response) {
console.log('statusChangeCallback');
console.log(response);
// The response object is returned with a status field that lets the
// app know the current login status of the person.
// Full docs on the response object can be found in the documentation
// for FB.getLoginStatus().
if (response.status === 'connected') {
// Logged into your app and Facebook.
this.testAPI();
} else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
// The person is logged into Facebook, but not your app.
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = 'Please log ' +
'into this app.';
} else {
// The person is not logged into Facebook, so we're not sure if
// they are logged into this app or not.
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = 'Please log ' +
'into Facebook.';
}
}
// This function is called when someone finishes with the Login
// Button. See the onlogin handler attached to it in the sample
// code below.
checkLoginState() {
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
this.statusChangeCallback(response);
}.bind(this));
}
handleClick() {
FB.login(this.checkLoginState());
}
render() {
return (
<div className="App">
<div className="App-header">
<img src={logo} className="App-logo" alt="logo" />
<h2>Welcome to React</h2>
</div>
<p className="App-intro">
To get started, edit <code>src/App.js</code> and save to reload.
</p>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;

Accourding to the documentation, you are missing to import/require the lib. I think you just need to import the file at the begining like:
I Hope it helps
I’ve encountered the same issue and come up with another solution.
'FB' is not defined no-undef
can be solved by referencing it fromwindow
, namely usingwindow.FB
instead of justFB
. This work around does not need to install any additional npm package.Here is a working repo of integrating the component into a React project, and in
src/App.js
you’ll find the same code snippet above, and namely in the Stack Overflow question: Implement Facebook API login with reactjs.
Providing this alternative solution as an additional option and I hope it helps.
