I am able to retrieve basic user information via passport-facebook, following the below code and saving in mongodb:
app.get("/auth/facebook", passport.authenticate("facebook", { scope : ["email", "publish_stream", "user_location", "user_hometown", "user_birthday", "read_friendlists"]}));
app.get("/auth/facebook/callback", passport.authenticate("facebook",{ successRedirect: '/', failureRedirect: '/'}));
var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
FacebookStrategy = require('passport-facebook').Strategy,
Users = mongoose.model('Users');
module.exports = function (passport, config) {
passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
done(null, user.id);
});
passport.deserializeUser(function(id, done) {
Users.findOne({ _id: id }, function (err, user) {
done(err, user);
});
});
passport.use(new FacebookStrategy({
clientID: config.facebook.clientID,
clientSecret: config.facebook.clientSecret,
callbackURL: config.facebook.callbackURL
}, function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
Users.findOrCreateFaceBookUser(profile, done);
}));};
However, I am not able to see the profile picture in the "profile".
The documentation https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport-facebook says to retrieve photos we need to pass the profileFields as below. But doing so, I am able to see the photo URL but loosing other data which were contained in _json e.g. profile._json.location.name. How can I retrieve photo with other user information intact?
passport.use(new FacebookStrategy({
// clientID, clientSecret and callbackURL
profileFields: ['id', 'displayName', 'photos', ....]},// verify callback));
If you need a larger image (default in miksii's example above is 50px x 50px which is pretty small), then use:
profileFields: ['id', 'displayName', 'name', 'gender', 'picture.type(large)']
and then
picture: profile.photos ? profile.photos[0].value : '/img/faces/unknown-user-pic.jpg'
This will return a 200px x 200px profile picture for that user.
