i am currently planning a facebook application to be developed with ruby on rails. i stumbled upon the facebooker gem, but there seem to be other gems around as well - actually there is also a facebooker2 gem.
what are the current options i have with ruby on rails and facebook development? which gems are recommendable?
The Facebook developers site lists some options for Rails along with samples. See http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/User:Using_Ruby_on_Rails_with_Facebook_Platform
I've been working with this over the past couple of days.
The facebooker gem is written to use the old FB RESTful javascript API.
Facebooker2 is written to use the new javascript Open Graph API. Facebooker2 depends upon the mogli gem.
I'm working with facebooker2 and hope to blog a tutorial once I've got it all worked out.
Here's my "tutorial". I hope this helps. http://blog.jonathanrwallace.com/2010/06/accessing-facebook%E2%80%99s-open-graph-from-within-ruby-on-rails/
