Node.js Wrapper for Office 365 APIs Client Library

This library is a simple wrapper intended to enable use of the Microsoft Office 365 APIs Client Libraries for Cordova Applications from a Node.js app.

Tricks used

• To load in the exchange.js file, which is not a Node module, I used the method described here.
• The exchange.js file uses the AJAX XMLHttpRequest object for sending requests. To get it working quickly without having to modify exchange.js, I used the node-XMLHttpRequest module.

Required software

• Microsoft Office 365 APIs Client Libraries for Cordova Applications (Included)
• node-XMLHttpRequest

Installation

Installing should be done via NPM:

npm install node-outlook

Usage

Once installed, add the following to your source file:

var outlook = require("node-outlook");

You can then create an OutlookServices.Client object like so:

var outlookClient = new outlook.Microsoft.OutlookServices.Client('https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0',  
  authHelper.getAccessTokenFn('https://outlook.office365.com/', session)); 

Where authHelper.getAccessTokenFn is a callback method you implement to provide the needed OAuth2 access token.

• Common calendar tasks
• Common contacts tasks

Sample App

For a sample app that uses this library, see the node-mail sample.
