How to get user info (email, name, etc.) from the react-native-fbsdk?

Question

I'm trying to access the user's email and name to setup and account when a user authenticates with Facebook. I've ready the documentations for react-native-fbsdk but I'm not seeing it anywhere.

Solution 1

You could do something like this (which is a boiled down version of what I'm doing in my app):

<LoginButton
  publishPermissions={['publish_actions']}
  readPermissions={['public_profile']}
  onLoginFinished={
    (error, result) => {
      if (error) {
        console.log('login has error: ', result.error)
      } else if (result.isCancelled) {
        console.log('login is cancelled.')
      } else {
        AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken().then((data) => {
          const { accessToken } = data
          initUser(accessToken)
        })
      }
    }
  }
  onLogoutFinished={logout} />

// initUser function

initUser(token) {
  fetch('https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/me?fields=email,name,friends&access_token=' + token)
  .then((response) => response.json())
  .then((json) => {
    // Some user object has been set up somewhere, build that user here
    user.name = json.name
    user.id = json.id
    user.user_friends = json.friends
    user.email = json.email
    user.username = json.name
    user.loading = false
    user.loggedIn = true
    user.avatar = setAvatar(json.id)      
  })
  .catch(() => {
    reject('ERROR GETTING DATA FROM FACEBOOK')
  })
}

The accepted answer uses fetch but the SDK is capable of doing this request as well... So in case anyone is wondering, this is how it can be done with the SDK.

let req = new GraphRequest('/me', {
    httpMethod: 'GET',
    version: 'v2.5',
    parameters: {
        'fields': {
            'string' : 'email,name,friends'
        }
    }
}, (err, res) => {
    console.log(err, res);
});

That will help you, this is worked for me

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';
import { LoginManager,LoginButton,AccessToken,GraphRequest,GraphRequestManager} from 'react-native-fbsdk';

export default class App extends Component<{}> {

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>

        <LoginButton
          publishPermissions={["publish_actions"]}
          onLoginFinished={
            (error, result) => {
              if (error) {
                alert("login has error: " + result.error);
              } else if (result.isCancelled) {
                alert("login is cancelled.");
              } else {
                AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken().then(
                  (data) => {
                    const infoRequest = new GraphRequest(
                      '/me?fields=name,picture',
                      null,
                      this._responseInfoCallback
                    );
                    // Start the graph request.
                    new GraphRequestManager().addRequest(infoRequest).start();
                  }
                )
              }
            }
          }
          onLogoutFinished={() => alert("logout.")}/>
      </View>
    );
  }

  //Create response callback.
  _responseInfoCallback = (error, result) => {
    if (error) {
      alert('Error fetching data: ' + error.toString());
    } else {
      alert('Result Name: ' + result.name);
    }
  }
}

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';
import { LoginButton, AccessToken } from 'react-native-fbsdk';

export default class FBLogin extends Component {

                    const ID = json.id
                    console.log("ID " + ID);

                    const EM = json.email

                    const FN = json.first_name

Here is the whole code snippet to get the Facebook profile information.

"react": "16.13.1"
"react-native": "0.63.3"
"react-native-fbsdk": "^3.0.0"

const infoRequest = new GraphRequest(
    '/me', 
    {
      parameters: {
        'fields': {
            'string' : 'email,name'
        }
      }
    },
    (err, res) => {
      console.log(err, res);
    }
);

const facebookLogin = () => {
    LoginManager.logInWithPermissions(["public_profile", "email"]).then(
      function(result) {
        if (result.isCancelled) {
          console.log("Login cancelled");
        }
        else {
          console.log("Login success with permissions: " + result.grantedPermissions.toString());
          new GraphRequestManager().addRequest(infoRequest).start();
        }
      },
      function(error) {
        console.log("Login fail with error: " + error);
      }
    );
}

Excellent response. I was assuming that there would be something built-in to the SDK for these requests but a regular old http request will do the trick. Thanks!

[IanBussieres]

This is certainly the preferred method, see github.com/facebook/react-native-fbsdk#graph-requests for more details

[Ali Emre Çakmakoğlu]

It works, but the below answer is the correct one which use SDK itself.

[Pavindu]

Where to set access token in this method?

[Haseeb Burki]

@Pavindu you can set it as accessToken: {{value}} above the parameters object.

[bilalmohib]

That actually worked for me.Thanks.It only took data from access token.

[TomSawyer]

what's the purpose of putting const method inside of promise call back? since you don't pass access_token to infoRequest
