Prerequisites

Node must be installed to run this sample.

Setup

  1. Register a new application in the Azure Portal. Ensure that the application is enabled for the authorization code flow with PKCE. This will require that you redirect URI configured in the portal is of type SPA.
  2. Open the /app/authConfig.js file and provide the required configuration values.
  3. On the command line, navigate to the root of the repository, and run npm install to install the project dependencies via npm.

Running the sample

  1. Configure authentication and authorization parameters:
    1. Open authConfig.js
    2. Replace the string "Enter_the_Application_Id_Here" with your app/client ID on AAD Portal.
    3. Replace the string "Enter_the_Cloud_Instance_Id_HereEnter_the_Tenant_Info_Here" with "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/" (note: This is for multi-tenant applications located on the global Azure cloud. For more information, see the documentation).
    4. Replace the string "Enter_the_Redirect_Uri_Here" with the redirect uri you setup on AAD Portal.
  2. Configure the parameters for calling MS Graph API:
    1. Open graphConfig.js.
    2. Replace the string "Enter_the_Graph_Endpoint_Herev1.0/me" with "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me".
    3. Replace the string "Enter_the_Graph_Endpoint_Herev1.0/me/messages" with "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages".
  3. To start the sample application, run npm start.
  4. Finally, open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000.
