I am using react-native-fbsdk. How can I change the fb login button text from 'Login with facebook' to 'Continue with fb'?
The component looks like this, and I can't find a way to change it:
<LoginButton
style={styles.facebookbutton}
readPermissions={["public_profile", 'email']}
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) => {
console.log(data);
console.log(data.accessToken.toString());
}
)
}
}
}
onLogoutFinished={() => alert("logout.")}/>
The easiest way is to upgrade the SDK to 4.19.0:
The LoginButton UI is changed in 4.19.0. Instead of "Log in with Facebook", the button now displays "Continue with Facebook". The button color is changed to #4267B2 from #3B5998. The button height is decreased from 30dp to 28dp due to use of smaller font size and paddings around a larger Facebook logo.
The interface for using LoginButton remains the same. Please take time to ensure the updated LoginButton does not break your app's UX
However, if you're after customising the text so it literally says "Continue with fb" you'd need to recreate the Button component, and use it to trigger the Login Manager, i.e.:
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { Button } from 'react-native'
import { LoginManager } from 'react-native-fbsdk'
export default class Login extends Component {
handleFacebookLogin () {
LoginManager.logInWithReadPermissions(['public_profile', 'email', 'user_friends']).then(
function (result) {
if (result.isCancelled) {
console.log('Login cancelled')
} else {
console.log('Login success with permissions: ' + result.grantedPermissions.toString())
}
},
function (error) {
console.log('Login fail with error: ' + error)
}
)
}
render () {
return (
<Button
onPress={this.handleFacebookLogin}
title="Continue with fb"
color="#4267B2"
/>
)
}
}
That way also gives you full control over the UI which is particularly handy if you have your own components library, or use a ready made one like NativeBase.
