I'm trying to integrate Facebook Login into my website using React. While there's a React library available, it hasn't been updated in years and seems abandoned. I noticed Facebook offers an official JavaScript SDK, but when I checked the documentation for FB.login, I just found a blank page. It's a bit strange that there isn't a dedicated package for React from the creators of React. Has Facebook given up on this SDK, or is there something I'm missing?

If you're flexible, you might want to consider using the Firebase authentication library for login. It simplifies the process and is often more user-friendly.
No, Facebook has not abandoned their JavaScript SDK. They've confirmed that it's here to stay, so it should still be usable despite what you’re experiencing with the documentation.
Facebook's compliance requirements can be a real hassle. If you're looking for a straightforward "Login with Facebook" button, be ready to provide test accounts and explain your data retention policies. One of my clients even faced rejection from Meta over unclear T&C regarding user data deletion. It seems some businesses are just opting out of the Facebook integration altogether.
I think the lack of usage might be a factor here. A lot of people have had bad experiences with Facebook logins, including myself, so it's not as popular anymore. Usually, people opt for Google or Apple login options these days.
