Tutorial: Enable your JavaScript single-page application (SPA) to sign-in users and call APIs with the Microsoft identity platform

The Microsoft identity platform, along with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Azure Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C) are central to the Azure cloud ecosystem. This tutorial aims to take you through the fundamentals of modern authentication with JavaScript, using the Microsoft Authentication Library for JavaScript (MSAL.js).

We recommend following the chapters in successive order. However, the code samples are self-contained, so feel free to pick samples by topics that you may need at the moment.

⚠️ This is a work in progress. Come back frequently to discover more samples.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Visual Studio Code
• VS Code Azure Tools Extension
• A modern web browser -while MSAL.js supports IE11, samples here use ES6 conventions and will not run on Internet Explorer

Please refer to each sample's README for sample-specific prerequisites.

Recommendations

• jwt.ms for inspecting your tokens
• Fiddler for monitoring your network activity and troubleshooting
• Follow the Azure AD Blog to stay up-to-date with the latest developments

Please refer to each sample's README for sample-specific recommendations.

Alternatively, choose below the sample you want to review.

Chapter 1: Sign-in a user to your application

	Sign-in with Azure AD Sign-in your users with the Azure AD and learn to work with ID Tokens. Learn how single sign-on (SSO) works. Learn to secure your apps to operate in national clouds.
	Sign-in with Azure AD B2C Sign-in your customers with Azure AD B2C. Learn to integrate with external social identity providers. Learn how to use user-flows and custom policies.

Chapter 2: Sign-in a user and get an Access Token for Microsoft Graph

	Get an Access Token from Azure AD and call Microsoft Graph Authenticate your users and acquire an Access Token for Microsoft Graph and then call the Microsoft Graph API.

Chapter 3: Protect an API and call the API from your client app

	Protect and call a web API on Azure AD Protect your web API with the Azure AD. Use a client application to sign-in a user, acquire an Access Token for your web API and call your protected Web API.
	Protect and call a web API on Azure AD B2C Protect your web API with Azure AD B2C. Use a client application to sign-in a user, acquire an Access Token for your web API and call your protected web API.

Chapter 4: Call Microsoft Graph from your protected API on behalf-of a signed-in user

	Call a web API that calls Microsoft Graph on behalf of a user Enhance your protected web API to acquire an Access Token for Microsoft Graph on-behalf-of a user signed-in to the client app.
	Call a web API that calls another web API with conditional access on behalf of a user Enhance your protected web API to acquire an Access Token for another web API with MFA requirement on-behalf-of a user signed-in to the client app.

Chapter 5: Deploy your applications to Azure

	Deploy to Azure Storage and App Service Prepare your app for deployment to various Azure services. Learn how to package and upload files, configure authentication parameters and use Azure services for managing your operations.
