Microsoft Bot Framework Facebook Adapter for .NET

This package contains an adapter that communicates directly with the Facebook API, and translates messages to and from a standard format used by your bot.
Includes support for Facebook Handover Protocol.

How to Install

PM> Install-Package Bot.Builder.Community.Adapters.Facebook

How to Use

Set the Facebook Credentials

To authenticate the requests, you'll need to configure the Adapter with the Verify Token, the App Secret and a Access Token.

You could create in the project an appsettings.json file to set the Facebook credentials as follows:

{
  "FacebookVerifyToken": "",
  "FacebookAppSecret": "",
  "FacebookAccessToken":  ""
}

Use FacebookAdapter in your App

FacebookAdapter provides a translation layer for BotBuilder so that bot developers can connect to Facebook and have access to the Facebook API.

To add the Facebook Adapter to a bot, for example, an EchoBot, in the Startup class you should add:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);

    // Create the Bot Framework Facebook Adapter.
    services.AddSingleton<IBotFrameworkHttpAdapter, FacebookAdapter>();

    // Create the bot as a transient. In this case the ASP Controller is expecting an IBot.
    services.AddTransient<IBot, EchoBot>();
}
