azure-client-credentials

Requests and caches access tokens for Azure Active Directory (AAD) resources using client credentials.

Version 1.0.2

Exports the AzureClientCredentials class that provides the getAccessToken() method. The mechanism by which the access token is obtained is described by the Service to Service Calls Using Client Credentials article.

Installation

$ npm install --save azure-client-credentials

Usage

const AzureClientCredentials = require('azure-client-credentials');
 
const TENANT = 'my-company.com';
const CLIENT_ID = '36486060-d567-4ea6-91e6-8cd431edb722';
const CLIENT_SECRET = 'VGhpcyBpcyBteSBBenVyZSBBRCBjbGllbnQgc2VjcmV0Lg==';
const RESOURCE = 'https://my-company.com/my-resource';
 
const credentials = new AzureClientCredentials(TENANT, CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET);
 
credentials.getAccessToken(RESOURCE).then(token => {
  console.log(token);
}).catch(err => {
  console.error(err);
});

You can request access tokens for any number of resources. The tokens are cached and refreshed automatically.
