What is @azure/msal-browser?

The @azure/msal-browser package is a library that enables browser-based applications to authenticate users using Azure Active Directory and to obtain tokens to access protected APIs. It implements the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect protocols in a client-side JavaScript application.

What are @azure/msal-browser's main functionalities?

Authentication

This feature allows users to sign in and obtain an ID token through a popup window.

const msalConfig = {
  auth: {
    clientId: 'your-client-id',
    authority: 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common',
    redirectUri: 'your-redirect-uri'
  }
};

const myMSALObj = new msal.PublicClientApplication(msalConfig);

function signIn() {
  myMSALObj.loginPopup()
    .then(loginResponse => {
      console.log('id_token acquired at: ' + new Date().toString());
      if (myMSALObj.getAccount()) {
        console.log('Logged in');
      }
    }).catch(error => {
      console.error(error);
    });
}

Acquiring Tokens

This feature is used to acquire tokens silently or through a popup if required by the application.

const tokenRequest = {
  scopes: ['user.read'],
  forceRefresh: false
};

function getTokenPopup(request) {
  return myMSALObj.acquireTokenSilent(request)
    .catch(error => {
      console.warn('silent token acquisition fails. acquiring token using popup');
      if (error instanceof msal.InteractionRequiredAuthError) {
        return myMSALObj.acquireTokenPopup(request)
          .then(tokenResponse => {
            return tokenResponse;
          }).catch(error => {
            console.error(error);
          });
      } else {
        console.warn(error);
      }
    });
}

Single Sign-Out

This feature allows users to sign out of the application and clear the user's session.

function signOut() {
  const logoutRequest = {
    account: myMSALObj.getAccount()
  };
  myMSALObj.logout(logoutRequest);
}
