Microsoft Graph SDK for Typescript

Get started with the Microsoft Graph SDK for Typescript by integrating the Microsoft Graph API into your Typescript application!

Note: this SDK allows you to build applications using the beta of Microsoft Graph. If you want to try the latest Microsoft Graph APIs.

Note: the Microsoft Graph Typescript SDK is currently in Pre-Release.

1. Installation

# this will install the main package
npm install @microsoft/msgraph-beta-sdk
# this will install the authentication provider for Azure Identity / Microsoft Entra
npm install @microsoft/kiota-authentication-azure @azure/identity
# this will install the fluent API package for the users API paths
npm install @microsoft/msgraph-beta-sdk-users

2. Getting started

Note: we are working to add the getting started information for Typescript to our public documentation, in the meantime the following sample should help you getting started.

2.1 Register your application

Register your application by following the steps at Register your app with the Microsoft Identity Platform.

2.2 Create an AuthenticationProvider object

An instance of the GraphBetaServiceClient class handles building client. To create a new instance of this class, you need to provide an instance of AuthenticationProvider, which can authenticate requests to Microsoft Graph.

2.2.1 Authorization Code Provider

// @azure/identity
const credential = new AuthorizationCodeCredential(
  'YOUR_TENANT_ID',
  'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
  'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
  'AUTHORIZATION_CODE',
  'REDIRECT_URL',
);

// @microsoft/kiota-authentication-azure
const authProvider = new AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider(credential, ["User.Read"]);

2.2.2 Client Credentials Provider

With a certificate

// @azure/identity
const credential = new ClientCertificateCredential(
  'YOUR_TENANT_ID',
  'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
  'YOUR_CERTIFICATE_PATH',
);

// @microsoft/kiota-authentication-azure
const authProvider = new AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider(credential, ["https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"]);

With a secret

// @azure/identity
const credential = new ClientSecretCredential(
  'YOUR_TENANT_ID',
  'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
  'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
);

// @microsoft/kiota-authentication-azure
const authProvider = new AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider(credential, ["https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"]);

2.2.3 On-behalf-of provider

// @azure/identity
const credential = new OnBehalfOfCredential({
  tenantId: 'YOUR_TENANT_ID',
  clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
  clientSecret: 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
  userAssertionToken: 'JWT_TOKEN_TO_EXCHANGE',
});

// @microsoft/kiota-authentication-azure
const authProvider = new AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider(credential, ["https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"]);

2.2.4 Device code provider

// @azure/identity
const credential = new DeviceCodeCredential({
  tenantId: 'YOUR_TENANT_ID',
  clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
  userPromptCallback: (info) => {
    console.log(info.message);
  },
});

// @microsoft/kiota-authentication-azure
const authProvider = new AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider(credential, ["User.Read"]);

2.2.5 Interactive provider

// @azure/identity
const credential = new InteractiveBrowserCredential({
  tenantId: 'YOUR_TENANT_ID',
  clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
  redirectUri: 'http://localhost',
});

// @microsoft/kiota-authentication-azure
const authProvider = new AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider(credential, ["User.Read"]);

2.2.6 Username/password provider

// @azure/identity
const credential = new UsernamePasswordCredential(
  'YOUR_TENANT_ID',
  'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
  'YOUR_USER_NAME',
  'YOUR_PASSWORD',
);

// @microsoft/kiota-authentication-azure
const authProvider = new AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider(credential, ["User.Read"]);

2.3 Get a Graph Service Client Adapter object

You must get a GraphServiceClient object to make requests against the service.

const requestAdapter = new FetchRequestAdapter(authProvider);
const graphServiceClient = createGraphServiceClient(requestAdapter);

You must get a GraphBetaServiceClient object to make requests against the service.

const requestAdapter = new FetchRequestAdapter(authProvider);
const graphBetaServiceClient = createGraphBetaServiceClient(requestAdapter);

3. Make requests against the service

After you have a GraphBetaServiceClient that is authenticated, you can begin making calls against the service. The requests against the service look like our REST API.

3.1 Get user's detailed information

To retrieve the user's detailed information:

import { FetchRequestAdapter } from "@microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary";
import { createGraphBetaServiceClient } from "@microsoft/msgraph-beta-sdk";
import "@microsoft/msgraph-beta-sdk-users";

const requestAdapter = new FetchRequestAdapter(authProvider);
const graphBetaServiceClient = createGraphBetaServiceClient(requestAdapter);

const jane = await graphBetaServiceClient.users.byUserId("jane@contoso.com").get();
