An Introduction to Microsoft Graph SDK and How to Create a To-Do List Using JavaScript
Introduction
Microsoft Graph SDK provides a unified API for access to data stored in Office 365 and other Microsoft services. It supports access to a wide range of data, including calendars, contacts, files, mail, notes, tasks, and more. In this blog post, we’ll look at how to use the Microsoft Graph SDK to create a simple to-do list application using JavaScript. We’ll also discuss how to authenticate users, how to query data from the Graph API, and how to create, update, and delete tasks.
Setting up the Project
Before we can start developing our to-do list application, we need to set up the project. We’ll be using Node.js and Express.js to create a simple web application. We’ll use the Microsoft Graph SDK to query data from the Graph API and to create, update, and delete tasks. Finally, we’ll use Passport.js to authenticate users and the Azure AD v2.0 endpoint.
Installing Dependencies
We’ll start by installing the necessary dependencies for our project. We’ll need to install the Express.js and Passport.js packages, as well as the Microsoft Graph SDK. We can use the following commands to install the packages:
npm install express passport-azure-ad microsoft-graph-client –save
Creating the Express.js App
Once the dependencies are installed, we can create the Express.js app. We’ll create a simple Express.js app with just one route. We’ll use this route to render our to-do list page. We can use the following code to create our Express.js app:
Authenticating Users with Passport.js
Now that our Express.js app is set up, we can start authenticating users with Passport.js. We’ll use the passport-azure-ad package to authenticate users with the Azure AD v2.0 endpoint. We can use the following code to configure Passport.js:
Querying Data from the Graph API
Once the user is authenticated, we can start querying data from the Graph API. We’ll use the Microsoft Graph SDK to query the Graph API and retrieve a list of tasks. We can use the following code to query the Graph API:
Creating, Updating, and Deleting Tasks
Next, we’ll look at how to create, update, and delete tasks using the Microsoft Graph SDK. We can use the following code to create a new task:
Rendering the To-Do List Page
Finally, we’ll look at how to render the to-do list page. We’ll use the data from the Graph API to render the to-do list page. We can use the following code to render the to-do list page:
Conclusion
In this blog post, we’ve looked at how to use the Microsoft Graph SDK to create a simple to-do list application using JavaScript. We’ve discussed how to authenticate users, how to query data from the Graph API, and how to create, update, and delete tasks. We’ve also seen how to render the to-do list page using the data from the Graph API. We hope this post has been helpful in understanding how to use the Microsoft Graph SDK to create a to-do list application.
