I am a Software Developer and a Portrait Film Photographer.
  • I love coding with Ruby and Ruby on Rails, and I love shooting with film.
  • I currently live in Honolulu, Hawaii, but frequent Chicago and California.
  • I believe that programming is a form of art, like painting and photography, where you can express your ideas and logic and see it transform into something real.

Facebook Connect Javascript Cookie and Ruby on Rails

Update: I'm currently working this into a gem. Feel free to watch/use/contribute on github: http://github.com/aaronvb/fb_js_connect

I wrote this class to verify(using Facebook's cookie verification article) and parse the Facebook Javascript Connect cookie.

This can definitely work without Ruby on Rails, but you may need to change a few things.

Reference: Facebook Connect Javascript SDK http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/

To use this in Ruby on Rails, save this file into your RAILS_ROOT/lib folder. If you alter or use this code please contribute back!
