azure-auth-client-alpha

library0.0.27jsnpmunverified

A lightweight abstraction around adal.js for Azure AD authentication. Current stable version is 0.0.27. Provides a simple interface to obtain identity and access tokens, decode token claims, and retrieve user info. Supports both a real ADAL client and a dummy client for testing without Azure AD integration. Key differentiator: simplifies adal.js usage and offers a mock mode for development/testing. Release cadence is irregular.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

AuthClient

✓ import AuthClient from 'azure-auth-client'

✗ import { AuthClient } from 'azure-auth-client'

Default export, not named. Use default import.

AuthClient

✓ const AuthClient = require('azure-auth-client').default

✗ const AuthClient = require('azure-auth-client')

CommonJS require must use .default because library is ESM with default export.

AuthClient.build

✓ AuthClient.build(config)

✗ new AuthClient(config)

Use static factory method 'build' instead of constructor.

Shows how to import AuthClient, build with config, get identity and access tokens, and handle results.

import AuthClient from 'azure-auth-client'; const config = { clientType: 'ADAL', clientId: 'ae33c32e-d2f2-4992-a4b2-51d03e7c8677', tenantId: 'c834c34e-bbd3-4ea1-c2c2-51daeff91aa32', domain: 'bar.com' }; const authClient = AuthClient.build(config); const identityResult = authClient.getIdentityToken(); if (identityResult.ok) { console.log('Identity token:', identityResult.token); console.log('User name:', identityResult.name); console.log('Roles:', identityResult.roles); } const accessResult = authClient.getAccessToken('foo'); if (accessResult.ok) { console.log('Access token:', accessResult.token); }

Debug

Known issues

gotchaLibrary is in alpha stage (v0.0.27). API may change without notice. Not recommended for production use.

fix

Wait for stable release or pin exact version and test thoroughly.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingThe static factory method 'build' is required to create a client. Direct instantiation with 'new AuthClient()' will not work.

fix

Use AuthClient.build(config) instead.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaWhen clientType is 'DUMMY', the 'identity' field must include 'name' property, not 'displayName' as used by some other libraries.

fix

Use name, givenName, familyName in dummy identity config.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedUsing tenantName is possible but not documented; prefer tenantId for consistency.

fix

Use tenantId instead of tenantName.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: AuthClient is not a constructor

Attempting to use 'new AuthClient(config)' instead of factory method.

fix

Use AuthClient.build(config) instead.

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Using ESM import in a CommonJS environment without transpilation.

fix

Use require('azure-auth-client').default or add type:module to package.json.

Error: Config must contain clientId, clientType, and either tenantId or domain

Missing required config fields for ADAL clientType.

fix

Ensure config includes clientType, clientId, tenantId (or tenantName), and domain.

Error: Invalid clientType. Must be 'ADAL' or 'DUMMY'

clientType property not set to allowed values.

fix

Set clientType to 'ADAL' or 'DUMMY'.
