@microsoft/msgraph-sdk-directory

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

This package provides a fluent API for interacting with Microsoft Graph administrative functions.

> [!NOTE]
> This package allows you to build applications using the v1.0 of Microsoft Graph. If you want to try the latest Microsoft Graph APIs, use our beta SDK instead.

1. Installation

To install the package, use npm:

``shell


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 administrative API paths

npm install @microsoft/msgraph-sdk-directory
`

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.

$3

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

$3

An instance of the GraphServiceClient 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

`TypeScript
// @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

`TypeScript
// @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

`TypeScript
// @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

`TypeScript
// @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

`TypeScript
// @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

`TypeScript
// @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

`TypeScript
// @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"]);
`

$3

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

`typescript
const requestAdapter = new GraphRequestAdapter(authProvider);
const graphServiceClient = createGraphServiceClient(requestAdapter);
`

3. Make requests against the service

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

$3

To retrieve the user's detailed information:

`typescript
import { createGraphServiceClient, GraphRequestAdapter } from "@microsoft/msgraph-sdk";
import "@microsoft/msgraph-sdk-directory"

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

const directory = graphServiceClient.directory.get();
``
