Looking for a maintainer

JamesRandall opened this issue · 18 comments

Unfortunately I really don't have time to use this package having dropped B2C myself (see https://www.azurefromthetrenches.com/azure-ad-b2c-a-painful-journey-goodbye-for-now/ ) but it seems that people find value in it (based on the issues and PRs).

Any volunteers to pick up maintenance?

James, thank you for your blog post. Communicated it to Microsoft support. Hope they will do something. Do you still use Auth0? I started looking on them, but found some issues.

BTW, why don't you put your "Looking for maintainer" message to main page? It took some time for me to find it.

Hey, James. I think I can take it. What are next steps?

Happy to chip in, too. What would you like us to do?

@JamesRandall

I too would be willing to help out, I have sent him mail and a tweet... here's hoping he responds

Seems like we have some volunteers that are willing to take this over? What do you think @JamesRandall?

Thanks everyone for getting in touch and their patience.

Unless anyone disagrees (or you guys want to discuss) I'll assign it over to @pcherkasova as the first person to volunteer.

Its easy enough to transfer the repository on GitHub and we'll need to do the same on npm (so you'll need an npmjs account too).

Its not something I've done before - any thoughts on how to communicate this change to users of the package?

@weznagwama @DocCaliban are either of you still willing to take it?

Maybe https://github.com/leszekczajka might maintain it https://github.com/leszekczajka/msal-b2c-react? Looks like he has done a fork of your code and made some of the necessary changes.

Hey @JamesRandall and @mattruma, sorry for the late reply, happy to!

@mattruma happy for you to take and give me permissions (?) to do stuff?

@JamesRandall I'm in need of Azure AD B2C for many projects. I would be definitely be open to community help and support as well. I have forked from @leszekczajka, so some sought after updates will be released very quickly.

Looking at the official roadmap for the Microsoft authentication library, I might also be able to get help from Microsoft.

@JamesRandall What's the status of this project? it's a good wrapper and worthy of Kudos but it's dated and needed!, I'm looking to use on a new project..

Does anyone know if the state of Azure AD B2C documentation is still as dire as @JamesRandall posted on 2018? I've done some exploratory reading in the Microsoft documentation, and I believe they have not updated much regarding integration with React applications. The only SPA sample I could find is the one without a JS framework (just vanilla JS). Too bad, because I am having a bad feeling about that. On the other hand, Okta did their homework and they published a sample .NET Core / React SPA, which is much easier to follow. I am surprised Microsoft hasn't done the same already.

@lesair I just implemented ADB2C in React - The documentation is good however, there it does lack notes regarding React so I invested a lot of time trying to find the best React MSAL wrapper and found some MS employees got together and produced one during at a hackathon. It's very well documented Repo Here- https://github.com/syncweek-react-aad/react-aad

The other MS documentation is excellent when combined with this repo.

Thank you, @stephenstroud. react-aad looks promising, indeed. I am giving it a try now.
