Login component in Microsoft Graph Toolkit

A Login component is a button and flyout control to facilitate Microsoft identity platform authentication. It provides two states:

• When user is not signed in, the control is a simple button to initiate the sign in process.
• When user is signed in, the control displays the current signed in user name, profile image, and email. When clicked, a flyout is opened with a command to sign out.

Example

The following example shows the mgt-login component with a signed-in user.

Open this example in mgt.dev

Using the control without an authentication provider

The component works with a provider and Microsoft Graph out of the box. However, if you want to provide your own logic and authentication, you can use the userDetails property to set the signed in user's details.

Attribute	Property	Description
user-details	userDetails	Set the user object that will be displayed on the control.

The following example sets the person details.

let loginControl = document.getElementById('myLoginControl');
loginControl.userDetails = {
    displayName: 'Nikola Metulev',
    mail: 'nikola@contoso.com',
    personImage: 'url'
}

Setting userDetails to null will go to the signed out state.

Use the loginInitiated and logoutInitiated events to handle signing in and out.

CSS custom properties

The mgt-login component defines the following CSS custom properties.

mgt-login {
  --font-size: 14px;
  --font-weight: 600;
  --weith: '100%';

Templates

The mgt-login component supports several templates that allow you to replace certain parts of the component. To specify a template, include a <template> element inside of a component and set the data-type value to one of the values listed in the following table.

Data type	Data context	Description
signed-in-button-content	personDetails: person object, personImage: person image string	The template used to render the content in the button when the user is signed in.
signed-out-button-content	null	The template used to render the content in the button when the user is not signed in.
flyout-commands	handleSignOut: sign out function	The template used to render the commands in the flyout
flyout-person-details	personDetails: person object, personImage: person image string	The template used to render the person details in the flyout.

Microsoft Graph permissions

This component uses the following Microsoft Graph APIs and permissions:

Configuration	Permission	API
default	User.Read	/users/me/

When using the default signed-in-button-content and flyout-person-details templates, this component uses the Person component to display the user and inherits all permissions.

Authentication

The login control uses the global authentication provider described in the authentication documentation.

Cache

This component uses the Person component to display the user and inherits all cache configuration from it.

Extend for more control

For more complex scenarios or a truly custom UX, this component exposes several protected render* methods for override in component extensions.

Method	Description
renderButton	Renders the button chrome.
renderButtonContent	Renders the button content.
renderSignedInButtonContent	Render the button content when the user is signed in.
renderSignedOutButtonContent	Render the button content when the user is not signed in.
renderFlyout	Renders the flyout chrome.
renderFlyoutContent	Renders the flyout content.
renderFlyoutPersonDetails	Render the flyout person details.
renderFlyoutCommands	Render the flyout commands.

Bring your own flyout

It is possible to use your own flyout component in place of the built-in one, by overriding the renderFlyout() method and providing the new flyout.

In this case, ensure the login component continues to work as expected by overriding the protected flyout display methods to update the visibility of your alternative flyout.

Method	Description
hideFlyout	Dismisses the flyout.
showFlyout	Displays the flyout.
toggleFlyout	Toggles the state of the flyout.
