The Facebook plugin for Uppy lets users import files from their Facebook
account.

A Companion instance is required for the Facebook plugin to work. Companion
handles authentication with Facebook, downloads files from Facebook and uploads
them to the destination. This saves the user bandwidth, especially helpful if
they are on a mobile connection.

Uppy is being developed by the folks at [Transloadit](https://transloadit.com),
a versatile file encoding service.

## Example

```js
import Uppy from '@uppy/core'
import Facebook from '@uppy/facebook'

const uppy = new Uppy()
uppy.use(Facebook, {
  // Options
})
```

## Installation

```bash
$ npm install @uppy/facebook
```

Alternatively, you can also use this plugin in a pre-built bundle from
Transloadit’s CDN: Smart CDN. In that case `Uppy` will attach itself to the
global `window.Uppy` object. See the
[main Uppy documentation](https://uppy.io/docs/#Installation) for instructions.
