Sharing FaceBook feed

Sharing Facebook feed requires available internet connection, nothing will happen if not. You can use internet_connection_checker library. It checks exactly if internet access is available.

Example

  if(await InternetConnectionChecker().hasConnection) {
      MdInstaFbShare.shareFBFeed(file.path);
  }else{
      <!--your actions-->
  }
