OmniAuth Facebook2 Strategy

Test Gem Version

omniauth-facebook2 provides a Facebook OAuth2 strategy for OmniAuth.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-facebook2'

Then run:

bundle install

Usage

Configure OmniAuth in your Rack/Rails app:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :facebook2,
           ENV.fetch('FACEBOOK_APP_ID'),
           ENV.fetch('FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET'),
           api_version: 'v26.0' # optional; default is v25.0
end

Compatibility alias is available, so existing callback paths can keep using facebook:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :facebook,
           ENV.fetch('FACEBOOK_APP_ID'),
           ENV.fetch('FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET')
end

Provider App Setup

Options

Supported request/provider options include:

  • scope (default: email)
  • api_version (default: v25.0)
  • display
  • auth_type (example: rerequest)
  • config_id (Facebook Login for Business)
  • redirect_uri
  • info_fields (default: name,email)
  • locale
  • image_size (symbol/string like :normal, or hash { width:, height: })
  • secure_image_url (default: true)
  • callback_url / callback_path

If you need full endpoint control, client_options still works and takes precedence over api_version:

provider :facebook2,
         ENV.fetch('FACEBOOK_APP_ID'),
         ENV.fetch('FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET'),
         client_options: {
           site: 'https://graph.facebook.com/v26.0',
           authorize_url: 'https://www.facebook.com/v26.0/dialog/oauth',
           token_url: 'oauth/access_token'
         }

Auth Hash

Example payload from request.env['omniauth.auth'] (captured from a real smoke run):

{
  "uid": "12345678901234567",
  "info": {
    "email": "sample.user@example.test",
    "name": "Sample User",
    "image": "https://graph.facebook.com/v25.0/12345678901234567/picture"
  },
  "credentials": {
    "token": "[REDACTED]",
    "expires_at": 1777885934,
    "expires": true
  },
  "extra": {
    "raw_info": {
      "name": "Sample User",
      "email": "sample.user@example.test",
      "id": "12345678901234567"
    }
  }
}
