Getting started with the Microsoft Graph Client Library for Ruby

This client library is a release candidate and is still in preview status, please continue to provide feedback as we iterate towards a production supported library.

Installation

run gem install microsoft_graph or include gem microsoft_graph in your gemfile.

Getting started

Register your application

Microsoft Application Registration Portal (Recommended): Register a new application that authenticates using the v2.0 authentication endpoint. This endpoint autthenticates both personal (Microsoft) and work or school (Azure Active Directory) accounts.
Microsoft Azure Active Directory: Register a new application in your tenant's Active Directory to support work or school users for your tenant, or multiple tenants.

Authenticate for the Microsoft Graph service

The Microsoft Graph Client Library for Ruby does not include any default authentication implementations. Instead, the user will want to authenticate with the library of their choice, or against the OAuth endpoint directly.

The recommended library for authenticating against AAD is ADAL.

Usage example

require 'adal'
require 'microsoft_graph'

# authenticate using ADAL
username      = '[email protected]'
password      = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx'
client_id     = 'xxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxx'
client_secret = 'xxxXXXxxXXXxxxXXXxxXXXXXXXXxxxxxx='
tenant        = 'tenant.onmicrosoft.com'
user_cred     = ADAL::UserCredential.new(username, password)
client_cred   = ADAL::ClientCredential.new(client_id, client_secret)
context       = ADAL::AuthenticationContext.new(ADAL::Authority::WORLD_WIDE_AUTHORITY, tenant)
resource      = "https://graph.microsoft.com"
tokens        = context.acquire_token_for_user(resource, client_cred, user_cred)

# add the access token to the request header
callback = Proc.new { |r| r.headers["Authorization"] = "Bearer #{tokens.access_token}" }

graph = MicrosoftGraph.new(
                            base_url: "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0",
                            cached_metadata_file: File.join(MicrosoftGraph::CACHED_METADATA_DIRECTORY, "metadata_v1.0.xml"),
                            &callback
)

me = graph.me # get the current user
puts "Hello, I am #{me.display_name}."

me.direct_reports.each do |person|
  puts "How's it going, #{person.display_name}?"
end

Development

Running Tests

Unit Tests

Run them like this:

bundle exec rspec

Integration Tests

The integration tests make real changes in a live account, so don't run them against anything except a dedicated test account.

If you are sure you want to run them you need to set up a .env file that looks something like this:

MS_GRAPH_USERNAME=usernamehere@xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com
MS_GRAPH_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxxxxx
MS_GRAPH_CLIENT_ID=xxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxx
MS_GRAPH_CLIENT_SECRET="xxxXXXxxXXXxxxXXXxxXXXXXXXXxxxxxx="
MS_GRAPH_TENANT=xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com

Once you have all the right credentials, you can run the integration tests like this:

bundle exec rspec integration_spec
