import FacebookProvider from 'use-facebook-auth';

const MY_APP_ID = 'xxxxxxxx';

ReactDOM.render(
	<React.StrictMode>
		<FacebookProvider options={{ appId: MY_APP_ID }}>
			<App />
		</FacebookProvider>
	</React.StrictMode>,
	document.getElementById('root')
);

Your App Id is the application you're using too authentcate against. Then on any page you wish to authenticate/logout/get sessino info you can use the following hook:

import { useFacebook } from 'use-facebook-auth';

const loginOptions = {
	scope: 'public_profile,email'
}

const MyMethod = () => {
	const {
		authenticatedSession: { // only comes back when authenticated
			accessToken: 'string';
			expiresIn: 'number';
			signedRequest: 'string';
			userID: 'string';
			grantedScopes: 'string'; // optional
			reauthorize_required_in: 'number'; // optional
		},
		authenticatedState: 'loading' | 'error' | 'authenticated' | 'unauthenticated',
		isAuthenticated: true | false, //derived from the auth state;
		loading: true | false, //derived from the auth state;
		logout(): void,
		login(loginOptions): void
	} = useFacebook();

	return (<div>Hello</div>);
}
