Time to complete? about msgraph-sample-nodeexpressapp HOT 8 CLOSED

I have a series of functions that can either be triggered by a schedule or on a webhook event. They perform some intricate data transformation and sometimes need to drop a file into OneDrive so it can be picked up by Power Automate which sends it to its final destination.

I think I've pieced this all together from the various docs, but it would great to see a super-simple tutorial that gets us going as quickly as possible.

Thanks for being so responsive!

That's true, but there's a lot of asides and explanations going on in the video. Have you attempted to go through it? If you do I'd love to hear how long it takes you.

At the very least the time to complete should be adjusted to 52 minutes.

There was a lot (15m) of material at the start I wanted to skip through, I just wanted to get straight to building my app. I need to copy a file into OneDrive using node, and I'm looking for something a lot more straightforward and direct.

You're referring to the video? The time to complete is referring to a user going through the tutorial themselves, starting at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/tutorials/node?tutorial-step=1, which does dive right in. If I'm misunderstanding your feedback, please let me know.

Oh, I linked into this repository from another page that only had a link to the video itself and nothing more.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/tutorials/node

I now see a "Begin" button at the bottom, but I guess I'm conditioned to think that the page content has completed when I see a "Feedback" link/button and didn't notice it before.

Ok, that's helpful to understand. The video was added to the intro afterward - we may need to rethink that if it's pushing the Begin button too far down.

Unfortunately the tutorial doesn't seem to apply to me as it's so heavily node/express biased. I'm trying to write a file to OneDrive from an Azure Function and need something a lot simpler to understand auth without passport.

Sorry it didn't work out for your need. I've got an Azure function tutorial on my backlog for the near future, which I know doesn't really help you right now.

What's your scenario? Were you wanting the function to be invoked by some client and use a user's credentials, or is it more of an unattended automatic running function? Graph supports Azure auth with either delegated permissions (acting on a user's behalf) or app-only permissions (admin grants app access to specific things). How you auth would depend on which approach you're taking. In either case you wouldn't use passport.js in the Azure function since that is interactive auth.
