Deno port of Microsoft Authentication Library for Node

Uses bundling and polyfills to adapt the Node.js MSAL library to Deno, so it could introduce some edge case issues. This is mostly temporary; the official MSAL repo indicated that official Deno support would come after the Node.js version’s major release.

See the documentation for the Node.js version below, the interface should be the same.

About

MSAL Node enables applications to authenticate users using Azure AD work and school accounts (AAD), Microsoft personal accounts (MSA) and social identity providers like Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft accounts, etc. through Azure AD B2C service. It also enables your app to get tokens to access Microsoft Cloud services such as Microsoft Graph.

OAuth2.0 grant types supported

The current version supports the following ways of acquiring tokens:

Public Client

Confidential Client

Authorization Code Grant with a client credential
Refresh Token Grant
Silent Flow
Client Credential Grant
On-behalf-of flow
Username and Password flow

[Coming Soon] In the future we plan to add support for:

Integrated Windows Authentication flow

More details on different grant types supported by Microsoft authentication libraries in general can be found here.

Scenarios supported

The scenarios supported with this library are:

Desktop app that calls web APIs
Web app that calls web APIs
Web APIs that call web APIs
Daemon apps

More details on scenarios and the authentication flows that map to each of them can be found here.

FAQ

See here.

Prerequisites

Before using @azure/msal-node you will need to register your app in the azure portal:

App registration

Installation

Via NPM

npm install @azure/msal-node

Node Version Support

MSAL Node will follow the Long Term Support (LTS) schedule of the Node.js project. Our support plan is as follows.

Any major MSAL Node release:

Will support stable (even-numbered) Maintenance LTS, Active LTS, and Current versions of Node
Will drop support for any previously supported Node versions that have reached end of life
Will not support prerelease/preview/pending versions until they are stable

MSAL Node version	MSAL support status	Supported Node versions
1.x.x	Active development	10, 12, 14, 16

Usage

MSAL basics

Samples

There are multiple samples included in the repository that use MSAL Node to acquire tokens. These samples are currently used for manual testing, and are not meant to be a reference of best practices, therefore use judgement and do not blindly copy this code to any production applications.

AAD samples:

auth-code: Express app using OAuth2.0 authorization code flow.
auth-code-pkce: Express app using OAuth2.0 authorization code flow with PKCE.
device-code: Command line app using OAuth 2.0 device code flow.
refresh-token: Command line app using OAuth 2.0 refresh flow.
silent-flow: Express app using OAuth2.0 authorization code flow to acquire a token and store in the token cache, and silent flow to use tokens in the token cache.
client-credentials: Daemon app using OAuth 2.0 client credential grant to acquire a token.
on-behalf-of: Web application using OAuth 2.0 auth code flow to acquire a token for a web API. The web API validates the token, and calls Microsoft Graph on behalf of the user who authenticated in the web application.
username-password: Web application using OAuth 2.0 resource owner password credentials (ROPC) flow to acquire a token for a web API.
ElectronTestApp: Electron desktop application using OAuth 2.0 auth code with PKCE flow to acquire a token for a web API such as Microsoft Graph.

B2C samples:

b2c-auth-code: Express app using OAuth2.0 authorization code flow.
b2c-auth-code-pkce: Express app using OAuth2.0 authorization code flow with PKCE.
b2c-silent-flow: Express app using OAuth2.0 authorization code flow to acquire a token and store in the token cache, and silent flow to use tokens in the token cache.

Others:

msal-node-extensions: Uses authorization code flow to acquire tokens and the msal-extensions library to write the MSAL in-memory token cache to disk.

Build and Test

If you don’t have lerna installed, run npm install -g lerna
Run lerna bootstrap from anywhere within microsoft-authentication-library-for-js.git.
Navigate to microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/lib/msal-common and run npm run build
Navigate to microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/lib/msal-node and run npm run build

// to link msal-node and msal-common packages
lerna bootstrap

// Change to the msal-node package directory
cd lib/msal-common/

// To run build only for node package
npm run build

// Change to the msal-node package directory
cd lib/msal-node/

// To run build only for node package
npm run build

Local Development

Below is a list of commands you will probably find useful:

`npm run build:modules:watch`

Runs the project in development/watch mode. Your project will be rebuilt upon changes. TSDX has a special logger for you convenience. Error messages are pretty printed and formatted for compatibility VS Code’s Problems tab. The library will be rebuilt if you make edits.

`npm run build`

Bundles the package to the dist folder. The package is optimized and bundled with Rollup into multiple formats (CommonJS, UMD, and ES Module).

`lerna bootstrap`

If you are running the project in development/watch mode, or have made changes in msal-common and need them reflecting across the project, please run lerna bootstrap to link all the symbols. Please note that npm install will unlink all the code, hence it is advised to run lerna bootstrap post installation.

`npm run lint`

Runs eslint with Prettier

`npm test`, `npm run test:coverage`, `npm run test:watch`

Runs the test watcher (Jest) in an interactive mode. By default, runs tests related to files changed since the last commit. Generate code coverage by adding the flag –coverage. No additional setup needed. Jest can collect code coverage information from entire projects, including untested files.
