Microsoft Authentication Library for JavaScript (MSAL.js)
The Microsoft Authentication Library for JavaScript enables both client-side and server-side JavaScript applications to authenticate users using Azure AD for 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.
Repository
Core, wrapper and extensions libraries
The lib folder contains the source code for our libraries in active development. You will also find all the details about installing the libraries in their respective README.md.
-
Microsoft Authentication Library for Node.js: A Node.js library that enables authentication and token acquisition with the Microsoft Identity platform in JavaScript applications. Implements the following OAuth 2.0 protocols and is OpenID-compliant:
-
Microsoft Authentication Library for JavaScript: A browser-based, framework-agnostic browser library that enables authentication and token acquisition with the Microsoft Identity platform in JavaScript applications. Implements the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow with PKCE, and is OpenID-compliant.
-
Microsoft Authentication Library for React: A wrapper of the msal-browser library for apps using React.
-
Microsoft Authentication Library for Angular: A wrapper of the msal-browser library for apps using Angular framework.
-
Microsoft Authentication Extensions for Node: The Microsoft Authentication Extensions for Node offers secure mechanisms for client applications to perform cross-platform token cache serialization and persistence. It gives additional support to the Microsoft Authentication Library for Node (MSAL).
Libraries in Long-term Support (LTS)
The following libraries, hosted on the msal-lts branch, are no longer in active development, but they are still receiving critical security bug fix support.
- Microsoft Authentication Library for JavaScript v2.x
- Microsoft Authentication Library for Node.js v1.x
- Microsoft Authentication Library for React v1.x
- Microsoft Authentication Library for Angular v2.x
Package Structure
We ship a number of different packages which are meant for different platforms. You can see the relationship between packages and different authentication flows they implement below.
Samples
The samples folder contains sample applications for our libraries. A complete list of samples can be found in the respective package folders or on our wiki.
Package versioning
All of our libraries follow semantic versioning. We recommend using the latest version of each library to ensure you have the latest security patches and bug fixes.
