How to use Facebook php-sdk via FOSFacebookBundle?

Question

I want to use the Facebook's PHP-SDK in a Symfony2 project to send notifications. How is the best way to get the PHP-SDK in a controller?

Answer 1

Having FOSFacebookBundle installed and configured, you can get the PHP SDK inside a controller like this:

$facebook = $this->container->get('fos_facebook.api');

The following would get the Facebook user id if logged in for instance:

$uid = $facebook->getUser();
