Usage

You first have to declare the facebook module dependency inside your app module (perhaps inside your app main module). Then you need to configure the facebook module using the 'FacebookProvider':

angular.module('app', ['facebook'])

  .config(function(FacebookProvider) {
     // Set your appId through the setAppId method or
     // use the shortcut in the initialize method directly.
     FacebookProvider.init('YOUR_APP_ID');
  })

  .controller('authenticationCtrl', function($scope, Facebook) {

    $scope.login = function() {
      // From now on you can use the Facebook service just as Facebook api says
      Facebook.login(function(response) {
        // Do something with response.
      });
    };

    $scope.getLoginStatus = function() {
      Facebook.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
        if(response.status === 'connected') {
          $scope.loggedIn = true;
        } else {
          $scope.loggedIn = false;
        }
      });
    };

    $scope.me = function() {
      Facebook.api('/me', function(response) {
        $scope.user = response;
      });
    };
  });

You can use the isReady function to get notified when the Facebook SDK is ready

$scope.$watch(function() {
  // This is for convenience, to notify if Facebook is loaded and ready to go.
  return Facebook.isReady();
}, function(newVal) {
  // You might want to use this to disable/show/hide buttons and else
  $scope.facebookReady = true;
});
