Microsoft Teams JavaScript client library

Welcome to the Teams JavaScript client library! For breaking changes, please refer to our changelog in the current <root>/packages/teams-js directory.

This JavaScript library is part of the Microsoft Teams developer platform. See full library reference documentation.

Getting Started

See instructions in the monorepo root for how to clone and build the repository.

Whenever building or testing the Teams client library, you can run pnpm build or pnpm test from the packages/teams-js directory.

Installation

To install the stable version:

npm

npm install --save @microsoft/teams-js

pnpm

pnpm add @microsoft/teams-js

Production

You can reference these files directly from here or point your package manager at them.

Usage

As a package

Install either using npm or pnpm.

If you are using any dependency loader such as RequireJS or SystemJS or module bundler such as browserify, webpack, you can use import syntax to import specific modules. For e.g.

import { app } from '@microsoft/teams-js';

As a script tag

Reference the library inside of your .html page using:

<!-- Microsoft Teams JavaScript API (via CDN) -->
<script
  src="https://res.cdn.office.net/teams-js/2.31.1/js/MicrosoftTeams.min.js"
  integrity="sha384-ihAqYgEJz9hzEU+HaYodG1aTzjebC/wKXQi1nWKZG7OLAUyOL9ZrzD/SfZu79Jeu"
  crossorigin="anonymous"
></script>

<!-- Microsoft Teams JavaScript API (via npm) -->
<script src="node_modules/@microsoft/teams-js@2.31.1/dist/MicrosoftTeams.min.js"></script>

<!-- Microsoft Teams JavaScript API (via local) -->
<script src="MicrosoftTeams.min.js"></script>

Dependencies

Teams client library depends on Promise type. If you support older browsers and devices which may not yet provide it natively (e.g. IE 11), you need to provide a global polyfill, such as es6-promise, in your bundled application. If you're using a script tag to reference the Teams client library, you need to make sure the polyfill is included and initialized before the Teams client library is initialized.

Full Documentation and Examples

While each interface, class, function, etc. includes compact developer documentation, full documentation about library usage, including examples, can be found here.

Testing

The Teams Test App is used to validate the Teams client library APIs.

Troubleshooting

If the CDN hash value on the npm page is out of date please refer to here for an up to date version. If you notice this problem, please report that issue to us in GitHub Issues
