All you need is those three functionalities to be implemented:

First one is for setting the basic parameters for your Application(XXX-APP needs to be changed with your real id of application).

Second, function fol login to Facebook and granting needed permissions to be able to post to Facebook.

Third function is for posting to Facebook(XXX-page need to be changed with ID of the Page that you want to post something)

FB.init({ appId: 'XXX-APP', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml: true, oauth: true });
access_token = '';
function loginFB(){
  FB.login(function(response) {
   if (response.authResponse) {
     access_token =   FB.getAuthResponse()['accessToken'];
     console.log('Access Token = '+ access_token);
   } else {
     console.log('User cancelled login or did not fully authorize.');
   }
 }, {scope: 'publish_stream,manage_pages'});
}

function postToPage() {
    FB.api('/XXX-page', {fields: 'access_token'}, function(resp) {
        if(resp.access_token) {
            FB.api('/' + page_id + '/feed',
                'post',
                { message: "MSG", access_token: resp.access_token }
                ,function(response) {
                    console.log(response);
            });
        }
    });
}

You need the following permissions:

  • publish_stream
  • manage_pages

Now we call the page object to retrieve the page's access_token and then post with that token, something like: 

function postToPage() {
    var page_id = 'MY_PAGE_ID';
    FB.api('/' + page_id, {fields: 'access_token'}, function(resp) {
        if(resp.access_token) {
            FB.api('/' + page_id + '/feed',
                'post',
                { message: "I'm a Page!", access_token: resp.access_token }
                ,function(response) {
                    console.log(response);
            });
        }
    });
}

Result:
