This sample app is the result of following the JavaScript tutorial on the Outlook Dev Center. If you follow that tutorial, you should come up with something fairly close to the code in this repository.

NOTE: Looking for the version of this tutorial that used the Outlook API directly instead of Microsoft Graph? Check out the outlook-api branch. Note that Microsoft recommends using the Microsoft Graph to access mail, calendar, and contacts. You should use the Outlook APIs directly (via https://outlook.office.com/api) only if you require a feature that is not available on the Graph endpoints.

If you didn't follow the tutorial and just want to download this repo and try it out, you need to do a few things first.

You can host these files on any web server you like. If you don't have a web server handy, the tutorial has steps to install http-server to quickly create a development web server on the command line.

Note: These steps tell you to use http://localhost:8080 as your redirect URI. This is assuming that you are using http-server as specified in the tutorial. If you're using a different web server, be sure to change the redirect URI to the acutal URI used to access your app.

Head over to the Application Registration Portal to quickly get a client ID and secret. If you're not asked to sign in, click the Go to app list button and sign in with either your Microsoft account (Outlook.com), or your work or school account (Office 365). Once you're signed in, click the Add an app button. Enter 'javascript-tutorial` for the name and click Create application.

Locate the Platforms section, and click Add Platform. Choose Web, then enter http://localhost:8080 under Redirect URIs. Click Save to complete the registration. Copy the Application Id and save it. We'll need those values soon.

Here's what the details of your app registration should look like when you are done.

Replace the YOUR APP ID HERE value in outlook-demo.js with the application ID you generated as part of the app registration process.
