The Microsoft Authentication Library of JavaScript (MSAL.JS) is a token based authentication library for Single Page Applications. MSAL.JS enables you to acquire tokens from Azure AD to authenticate users and access Microsoft APIs such as Microsoft Graph or any API registered with Azure AD. MSAL.JS authenticate users with work or school accounts in Azure AD(AAD), Microsoft personal accounts (MSA) and accounts with social identity providers like Facebook, Google, Micosoft Accounts, etc. through Azure AD B2C service.
