How to verify facebook login access token from Node js

Question

I want to implement facebook login my React native app. I am using react-native-fbsdk-next in React native for getting access token.

I want to authorize it from our Backend to register it in our DB. I tried but couldn't find any way to implement it. I saw passport-facebook also but didn't get how to use it with react native.

I just want that I will send token that I get from fb login to backend(Node js) and it will verify it. This approach worked for me in google sign in but I am unable to find anything for Facebook login.

Any kind of help will be appreciated. Thank you

just check the token you received from the app login by running it with axios or fetch on the follwing url

https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=${accessToken}

Below is a sample axios function (middleware)

exports.checkFacebookToken = async (accessToken) => {
  try {
    const check = await axios.get(
      `https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=${accessToken}`
    );
    console.log(check);
    return true;
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error.response.data.error.message);
    return false;
  }
};
