Facebook Facade in Laravel 4. Using Facade & Service Provider you can create a global "FB" class which you can call statically in Controllers / Routes / Views. For the example: <?php echo FB::getLoginUrl();

app.php

<?php
// app/config/app.php

'providers' => array(

	'Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider',
	// .....

	'App\DependenciesProvider',
),

// .....

'aliases' => array(

	'App'             => 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\App',
	// .....
	
	'FB'			=> 'App\FacebookFacade',
),

composer.json

"require": {
	"laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
	"facebook/php-sdk": "dev-master"
}

FacebookFacade.php

<?php namespace Facebook;
// app/libs/facebook/FacebookFacade.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;

class FacebookFacade extends Facade {

	protected static function getFacadeAccessor() { return 'facebook'; }

}

FacebookProvider.php

<?php namespace Facebook;
// app/libs/facebook/FacebookProvider.php

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class FacebookProvider extends ServiceProvider {

	/**
	 * Register application dependencies
	 *
	 */
	function register()
	{
		$this->app->singleton('facebook', function(){

			return new \Facebook(array(
				'appId' => \Config::get('fb.app_id'),
    			'secret' => \Config::get('fb.secret'),
			));

		});
	}

}

fb.php

<?php
// app/config/fb.php

return array(

	'app_id' => '-- app ID --',
	'secret' => '-- Secret --'

);
