Azure Active Directory Library (ADAL) support for React

Azure Active Directory Library (ADAL) support for ReactJS with silent renew token fix

@Source from react-adal. Credit salvoravida.

New NPM package created just to have this silent token renew fix which was not working without handleWindowCallback not registering it for iframe.

Looks like react-adal is not getting maintained anymore.

``
npm install adal-react
`

index.js

`javascript

import { runWithAdal } from 'react-adal';
import { authContext } from './adalConfig';

const DO_NOT_LOGIN = false;

runWithAdal(authContext, () => {

// eslint-disable-next-line
require('./indexApp.js');

},DO_NOT_LOGIN);

`

This index wrap is needed because ADAL use iframes for token silent refresh,
and we do not want to have duplicated ReactApp started on iframes too!

indexApp.js (your real app index as it already is - example below)
`javascript
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import { store } from './store';
import App from './App';

ReactDOM.render(


,
document.getElementById('root'),
);

`

adalConfig.js

`javascript

import { AuthenticationContext, adalFetch, withAdalLogin } from 'react-adal';

export const adalConfig = {
tenant: '14d71d65-f596-4eae-be30-27f079bf8d4b',
clientId: '14d71d65-f596-4eae-be30-27f079bf8d4b',
endpoints: {
api: '14d71d65-f596-4eae-be30-27f079bf8d4b',
},
cacheLocation: 'localStorage',
};

export const authContext = new AuthenticationContext(adalConfig);

export const adalApiFetch = (fetch, url, options) =>
adalFetch(authContext, adalConfig.endpoints.api, fetch, url, options);

export const withAdalLoginApi = withAdalLogin(authContext, adalConfig.endpoints.api);

`

use adalApiFetch with your favorite "fetch" in your api call.

withAdalLoginApi HOC

change DO_NOT_LOGIN to true on index.js to stop login on index.js

`javascript

import MyPage from './myPageComponent';
import Loading from './Loading';
import ErrorPage from './ErrorPage';

const MyProtectedPage = withAdalLoginApi(MyPage, () => , (error) => );

path="/onlyLoggedUsers"
render={ ()=> }
/>

`

Logging Out

The AuthenticationContext object (authContext) has a built in function (logOut) to log out of a session. This function redirects user to the logout endpoint.
After logout, the user will be redirected to the postLogoutRedirectUri if it was added as a property on the config object.
The following code shows an example of how to create a Log Out dropdown in a NavBar

`javascript
import React from 'react';
import { Navbar, Dropdown, DropdownMenu, DropdownItem } from 'reactstrap';
import { authContext } from '../adalConfig';

...

render() {
return (

...


authContext.logOut()}>
Logout



...

);
}
