Tutorial: Enable your React single-page application to sign-in users and call APIs with the Microsoft identity platform
The Microsoft identity platform, along with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Azure Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C) are central to the Azure cloud ecosystem. This tutorial aims to take you through the fundamentals of modern authentication with React, using the Microsoft Authentication Library for React (MSAL React).
We recommend following the chapters in successive order. However, the code samples are self-contained, so feel free to pick samples by topics that you may need at the moment.
⚠️ This is a work in progress. Come back frequently to discover more samples.
ℹ️ Samples in this tutorial use functional React components. If you want to use MSAL React with class-based React components, see: Docs: Class Components
- Node.js v14 LTS or later
- Visual Studio Code
- A modern web browser (to use popup experience during sign-in and token acquisition, your browser should allow popups.)
Please refer to each sample's README for sample-specific prerequisites.
- jwt.ms for inspecting your tokens
- Fiddler for monitoring your network activity and troubleshooting
- Check MSAL.js FAQ and MSAL React FAQ for your questions
- Follow the Azure AD Blog to stay up-to-date with the latest developments
Please refer to each sample's README for sample-specific recommendations.

 |
Protect and call a web API on Azure AD Protect your web API with the Azure AD. Use a client application to sign-in a user, acquire an Access Token for your web API and call your protected web API. |
 |
Protect and call a web API on Azure AD B2C Protect your web API with Azure AD B2C. Use a client application to sign-in a user, acquire an Access Token for your web API and call your protected web API. |
 |
Deploy to Azure Storage and App Service Prepare your SPA for deployment to Azure storage and your API to App Service. Learn how to package and upload your files. Learn how to configure authentication parameters and use Azure services for managing your operations. |
 |
Deploy to Azure Static Web Apps Prepare your app for deployment to Azure Static Web Apps. Learn how to protect and call an Azure Function API. Learn how to configure authentication parameters and use Azure services for managing your operations. |
 |
Use App Roles for access control Define App Roles and use roles claim in a token to implement Role-based Access Control (RBAC) for your SPA and protected web API. |
 |
Use Security Groups for access control Create Security Groups and use groups claim in a token to implement Role-based Access Control (RBAC) for your SPA and protected web API. Handle overage scenarios. |
 |
Call a web API that calls Microsoft Graph on behalf of a user Enhance your protected web API to acquire an Access Token for Microsoft Graph on-behalf-of a user signed-in to the client app. Enable Conditional Access for your downstream API and handle MFA requirement. |
