# Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Facebook(3pm)

Facebook authentication plugin for Jifty

## NAME

Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Facebook - Facebook authentication plugin for Jifty

### DESCRIPTION

Provides standalone Facebook authentication for your Jifty application. It adds the columns `"facebook_name"`, `"facebook_uid"`, `"facebook_session"`, and `"facebook_session_expires"` to your User model.

## SYNOPSIS

In your jifty config.yml under the `"framework"` section:

```
    Plugins:
        - Authentication::Facebook:
            api_key: xxx
            secret: xxx
```

You may set any options which the `"new"` method of WWW::Facebook::API understands.

In your User model, you'll need to include the line

```
    use Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Facebook::Mixin::Model::User;
```

**after** your schema definition (which may be empty).  You may also wish to include

```
    sub _brief_description { 'facebook_name' }
```

To use the user's Facebook name as their description.
