Prerequisites

Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account (not a guest account)
NodeJS
dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunneling solution
M365 developer account or access to a Teams account with the appropriate permissions to install an app.
Teams Toolkit for VS Code or TeamsFx CLI

Run the app (Using Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code)

The simplest way to run this sample in Teams is to use Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code.

Ensure you have downloaded and installed Visual Studio Code
Install the Teams Toolkit extension
Select File > Open Folder in VS Code and choose this samples directory from the repo
Using the extension, sign in with your Microsoft 365 account where you have permissions to upload custom apps
Select Debug > Start Debugging or F5 to run the app in a Teams web client.
In the browser that launches, select the Add button to install the app to Teams.

Setup

Register you app with Azure AD.

Register a new application in the Azure Active Directory – App Registrations portal.
Select New Registration and on the register an application page, set following values:
- Set name to your app name.
- Choose the supported account types (any account type will work)
- Leave Redirect URI empty.
- Choose Register.
On the overview page, copy and save the Application (client) ID, Directory (tenant) ID. You’ll need those later when updating your Teams application manifest and in the .env.
Under Manage, select Expose an API.
Select the Set link to generate the Application ID URI in the form of api://{base-url}/{AppID}. Insert your fully qualified domain name (with a forward slash "/" appended to the end) between the double forward slashes and the GUID. The entire ID should have the form of: api://fully-qualified-domain-name/{AppID}
- ex: api://%ngrokDomain%.ngrok-free.app/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.
Select the Add a scope button. In the panel that opens, enter access_as_user as the Scope name.
Set Who can consent? to Admins and users
Fill in the fields for configuring the admin and user consent prompts with values that are appropriate for the access_as_user scope:
- Admin consent title: Teams can access the user’s profile.
- Admin consent description: Allows Teams to call the app’s web APIs as the current user.
- User consent title: Teams can access the user profile and make requests on the user's behalf.
- User consent description: Enable Teams to call this app’s APIs with the same rights as the user.
Ensure that State is set to Enabled
Select Add scope
- The domain part of the Scope name displayed just below the text field should automatically match the Application ID URI set in the previous step, with /access_as_user appended to the end:
  - `api://[ngrokDomain].ngrok-free.app/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/access_as_user.
In the Authorized client applications section, identify the applications that you want to authorize for your app’s web application. Each of the following IDs needs to be entered:
- 1fec8e78-bce4-4aaf-ab1b-5451cc387264 (Teams mobile/desktop application)
- 5e3ce6c0-2b1f-4285-8d4b-75ee78787346 (Teams web application)
Navigate to API Permissions, and make sure to add the follow permissions:

Select Add a permission
Select Microsoft Graph -> Delegated permissions.
- TeamworkTag.ReadWrite.All (enabled by default)
Click on Add permissions. Please make sure to grant the admin consent for the required permissions.

NOTE: When you create app registration, you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.

Setup NGROK

Run ngrok - point to port 3978
```
ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"
```
Alternatively, you can also use the dev tunnels. Please follow Create and host a dev tunnel and host the tunnel with anonymous user access command as shown below:
```
devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous
```

Setup for code

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git

Update the .env configuration for the bot to use the MicrosoftAppId, MicrosoftAppPassword and MicrosoftAppTenantId. (Note the MicrosoftAppId is the AppId created in step 1 (Setup for Bot), the MicrosoftAppPassword is referred to as the "client secret" in step 1 (Setup for Bot) and you can always create a new client secret anytime.) MicrosoftAppTenantId created in step 1 (Setup for Bot), the MicrosoftAppTenantId is referred to as the "Directory (tenant) ID"
Navigate to project In the folder where repository is cloned navigate to samples/graph-teams-tag/nodejs
Install node modules and run server

Inside node js folder, open your local terminal and run the below command to install node modules. You can do the same in Visual studio code terminal by opening the project in Visual studio code
```
npm install
```
```
npm start
```
- Install node modules and run client
Navigate to client folder, Open your local terminal and run the below command to install node modules. You can do the same in Visual studio code terminal by opening the project in Visual studio code
```
 cd client
 npm install
```
```
 npm start
```

Setup Manifest for Teams

This step is specific to Teams.
- Edit the manifest.json contained in the ./appManifest folder to replace your Microsoft App Id (that was created when you registered your app registration earlier) everywhere you see the place holder string {{Microsoft-App-Id}} (depending on the scenario the Microsoft App Id may occur multiple times in the manifest.json)
- Edit the manifest.json for validDomains and replace {{domain-name}} with base Url of your domain. E.g. if you are using ngrok it would be https://1234.ngrok-free.app then your domain-name will be 1234.ngrok-free.app and if you are using dev tunnels then your domain will be like: 12345.devtunnels.ms.
- Zip up the contents of the appManifest folder to create a manifest.zip (Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package)
Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (in the Apps view click "Upload a custom app")
- Go to Microsoft Teams. From the lower left corner, select Apps
- From the lower left corner, choose Upload a custom App
- Go to your project directory, the ./appManifest folder, select the zip folder, and choose Open.
- Select Add in the pop-up dialog box. Your app is uploaded to Teams.
