# Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL JS) authentication sample

## Summary

Sample SharePoint Framework web part which makes use of the [Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL JS)](https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js) to call the Microsoft Graph.

### MSAL WP

The sample web part will retrieve an access token with the `User.Read` and `Mail.Read` scope. Once an access token is retrieved, it will do a call to receive the current user and its mail messages.
