Azure Active Directory Library (ADAL) support for React

react-adal for adfs

Azure Active Directory Library (ADAL) and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) support for ReactJS

``



npm install reactjs-adal-adfs





index.js

javascript



import { runWithAdal } from 'react-adal-adfs';

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={ ()=>  } 

/>





Extra token JWT



To get extra token (JWT) with custom information you could use the form_post in front config

javascript

export const adalConfig = {

    ....,

  "isFormPostResponseMode": true

}



NB: make sure your REDIRECT_URI is a route accept a post request



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

                

              

            

          ...

        

      

    );

  }
