'Saving FB access token from FB JS SDK to DB
I am implementing 'Login with FB' for my web app using FB JS SDK. I have got the user to return the access token in the response inside the statusChangeCallback function. However, I am not sure about the best method to store this info to a DB for later use (getting data from graph api). How can the access token and other user info be saved into a DB?
In an attempt to post this data on an API, I have tried to serve this html using an express app but the facebook login popup shows blank where it should say "continue as such and such.."
Should there be a separate API that I should post this data to?
Any clue is appreciated!

console.log('statusChangeCallback');
console.log(response); // The current login status of the person.
if (response.status === 'connected') { // Logged into your webpage and Facebook.
testAPI();
} else { // Not logged into your webpage or we are unable to tell.
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = 'Please log ' +
'into this webpage.';
}
}
function checkLoginState() { // Called when a person is finished with the Login Button.
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) { // See the onlogin handler
statusChangeCallback(response);
});
}
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '{app-id}',
cookie : true, // Enable cookies to allow the server to access the session.
xfbml : true, // Parse social plugins on this webpage.
version : '{api-version}' // Use this Graph API version for this call.
});
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) { // Called after the JS SDK has been initialized.
statusChangeCallback(response); // Returns the login status.
});
};
function testAPI() { // Testing Graph API after login. See statusChangeCallback() for when this call is made.
console.log('Welcome! Fetching your information.... ');
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log('Successful login for: ' + response.name);
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML =
'Thanks for logging in, ' + response.name + '!';
});
}
</script>
<!-- The JS SDK Login Button -->
