# Using Kiota to generate a client to your AzureAd API and use it from a SPFx webpart
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
This sample shows how you can generate a client for your custom API using Kiota, and how to use that client in an SPFx webpart. The sample contains a custom API that is secured by Azure AD and interacts with Microsoft Graph API to do some basic operations with the Teams endpoint (it allows to list all the Teams in the tenant, to get detailed info for a given Team, and to Provision a new Team with some preconfigured channels).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### About Kiota
|
|
|
|
Kiota is a tool created by Microsoft, that allows you to generate a client/SDK for any given API that is described using OpenAPI. It supports different languages, and provides some abstractions, so you can customise several things, like Auth providers, JSON serialisation, HTTP Request adapter, etc.
|
|
|
|
In this sample, in the folder ```/teamified-client/src/webparts/client``` is included the code generated by Kiota. We executed the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kiota generate --openapi "my-api-swagger.yaml" --language typescript --namespace-name TeamifiedApiClient --class-name TeamifiedApiClient --output generated --log-level debug
|
|
```

## Used SharePoint Framework Version
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Applies to
|
|
|
|
- [SharePoint Framework](https://aka.ms/spfx)
|
|
- [Microsoft 365 tenant](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/set-up-your-developer-tenant)
|

|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
The API must be registered in your Azure Active Directory tenant. You can find more information on how to do it in these articles:
|
|
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/use-aadhttpclient-enterpriseapi
|
|
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/use-aadhttpclient
|
|
|
|
The API uses a ClientSecret to connect to MS Graph API, so create a Secret from Azure portal (this is not the recommended approach, but works for the demo. For production, I recommend you to use a certificate).
|
|
The API needs the following permissions to __Microsoft Graph API__:
|
|
|
|
| Scope | Type |
|
|
| ----------- | ----------------------- |
|
|
| Group.ReadWrite.All | Delegated |
|
|
| Directory.Read.All | Delegated |
|
|
|
|
Also, the API needs to be configured in the __Expose an API__ section, and configure a new scope named: __Teams.Manage__.
|
|
|
|
Once the API is registered in Azure AD, we must configure permissions for SPFx to access the API. This can be done in different ways. I suggest you to use the M365 CLI, with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
m365 spo serviceprincipal grant add --resource 'Teamified_Services' --scope 'Teams.Manage'
|
|
```

## Minimal Path to Awesome
|
|
|
|
- Clone this repository
|
|
- Edit the file __TeamifiedApi/appsettings.json__ with your Azure Active Directory API registration data (ClientId, TenantId, etc)
|
|
- Edit the file __teamified-client/src/webparts/teamsList/components/TeamsList.tsx__ and set the proper values in the following code:
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// #region ******************** UPDATE WITH YOUR TENANT DATA ********************
|
|
private readonly azureAdApplicationIdUri: string = "api://{AZURE_AD_CLIENT_ID}";
|
|
private readonly apiHost: string = "{YOUR_API}.azurewebsites.net";
|
|
// #endregion
|
|
```
|
|
- Ensure the API is up and running (you can run your API in localhost, using Visual Studio or the dotnet CLI, no need to publish it to Azure or any other hosting)
|
|
- Ensure that you are at the solution folder
|
|
- in the command-line run:
|
|
- **npm install**
|
|
- **gulp serve**
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
This extension illustrates the following concepts:
|
|
|
|
- using Kiota tool to generate a client for any API described by OpenAPI standard.
|
|
- using Kiota SPFx Authentication library, to provide Authentication to the Kiota client
|
|
- protecting a dotnet webapi using Azure AD and Microsoft.Identity.Web library
|
|
- calling MS Graph API from a dotnet webapi
|
