A Facebook OAuth2 strategy for the OmniAuth authentication framework, implemented as Rack middleware for Ruby web applications. It supports both server-side and client-side OAuth 2.0 flows with configurable scopes, display modes, and profile image sizes.

Use cases

• add Facebook login to a Rails app
• authenticate users with Facebook OAuth2 in Sinatra
• support Facebook client-side flow with the JavaScript SDK
• request Facebook permissions like email via scope configuration
• fetch user profile info and profile picture during OAuth login

When to choose

• you have a Ruby or Rails app already using OmniAuth and need Facebook sign-in
• you want a battle-tested OAuth2 strategy with both server-side and client-side flow support
• you need configurable Facebook permissions and profile picture sizes

When to avoid

• your project is not in the Ruby/OmniAuth ecosystem
• you need a strategy for a provider other than Facebook
• you require actively maintained software - the project is seeking new maintainers
