The docs for FB.init list the following options:

  • appId
  • cookie
  • logging
  • status
  • xfbml
  • channelUrl
  • authResponse
  • frictionlessRequests
  • hideFlashCallback

However, I have seen several FaceBook webapps useing additional options, including (but probably not limited to)

  • useCachedDialogs
  • oauth
  • secret (for the appSecret – this is a bad idea right?)

Are these standard options for FB.init? If so, where are they documented, if at all?

If not, are these custom options? and what would the benefit would be of doing something like this.

    oauth is (or was) documented. It was necessary to use oauth in js sdk. useCachedDialogs is for mobile apps. From here

    By default, dialogs will be pre-cached for performance reasons. If you
    would like to disable that for debugging reasons, set the
    “useCachedDialogs” flag to “false” in init().

    Secret shouldnt be visible on client side, I dont think facebook will have ever said to include this at client side
