Authentication with User Pool and social provider

See original GitHub issue

As cognito docs states, one can authenticate with 3rd party providers (like Facebook) using only the user pool.

From amplify authentication docs, I followed this example, but it requires the identityPoolId.

So, how can I authenticate a user on a custom UI with a 3rd party providers using only the user pool?

@itaied246 yeah for now the only way to get federated with Cognito User Pool is through Cognito Hosted UI. The Cognito Service team is currently working on to provide another way to do that without Hosted UI and once they are done(the similar way like Auth.federatedSignIn() which is used to federate with Cognito Identity Pool), we can integrate it into Amplify ASAP.
