Facebook Authentication

Facebook App and Authentication

Forem allows you to authenticate using Facebook. In order to use this authentication method in local development, you will need to setup a Facebook App and retrieve its keys. Then you'll need to provide these keys to the Rails application.

Sign in to your Facebook account.
In order to get the API keys, you will have to convert your account to a developer account.

Get API keys

Sign up or sign in to your Facebook developer account.
From My Apps dashboard, click on Add a New App.

Select For Everything Else

Fill in the app display name and contact email, then click on Create App ID

On the Add a Product screen, click Set Up under the Facebook Login section

Ignore the quickstart options, and click Settings -> Basic in the sidebar

From the basic settings screen dashboard copy the App ID and App Secret values to your environment settings accordingly (name of Facebook key -> name of our SiteConfig variable).
```
APP ID -> FACEBOOK_APP_ID
API secret -> FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET
```
