jQuery-fblogin

If you are in the need to add a Login with Facebook option to your web app you know that it is a pain and the process requires multiple requests to the Facebook API, and usually results in a messy callback soup that you get stuck managing but with jthis plugin it’s simplifies logging in Facebook with jQuery.
