Azure AD B2C Embedded Webview is a very simple Flutter package that demonstrates how to use the embedded web view to sign in users with Azure AD B2C. Currently, using Flutter packages - appAuth and flutter_azure_b2c redirects to browser and doesn't provide in-app experience.
This package embeds the web view of the user flow endpoint using flutter_appview and redirects the user as per onRedirect callback method.
- Login Button
- Webview Interaction
- Flutter UI Customization
- Dynamic Flutter Layout
- Refresh Token
To use the package in your Flutter app, add the following code to your main.dart file:
dependencies:
aad_b2c_webview: <latest_version>
It is recommended to use env to save the keys securely
const aadB2CClientID = "<app-id>";
const aadB2CRedirectURL = "https://myurl.com/myappname";
const aadB2CUserFlowName = "B2C_1_APPNAME_Signin";
const aadB2CScopes = ['openid', 'offline_access'];
const aadB2CTenantName = "<tenantName>";
const aadB2CUserAuthFlow = "https://$aadB2CTenantName.b2clogin.com/$aadB2CTenantName.onmicrosoft.com";
B2CWebViewParams params = B2CWebViewParams(
responseType: Constants.defaultResponseType,
tenantBaseUrl: aadB2CUserAuthFlow,
clientId: aadB2CClientID,
userFlowName: aadB2CUserFlowName,
redirectUrl: aadB2CRedirectURL,
scopes: aadB2CScopes,
containsChallenge: true,
isLoginFlow: true,
);
You have the flexibility to include optional parameters in order to customize the URL according to your specific requirements. The optionalParameters
parameter allows you to pass a list of OptionalParam
objects, where each object consists of a key and a value that represent the parameter name and its corresponding value, respectively.
Here's an example of how you can utilize the optionalParameters
parameter to add new parameters to the URL:
optionalParameters: [
OptionalParam(key: "parameter1", value: "value1"),
OptionalParam(key: "parameter2", value: "value2"),
],
In the above example, we include two optional parameters: "parameter1" with the value "value1" and "parameter2" with the value "value2". You can include multiple OptionalParam
objects within the list to incorporate multiple optional parameters in the URL.
These optional parameters provide you with the ability to customize the behavior of the URL and conveniently transmit additional information as per your needs.
To add the easy to use sign in with microsoft button simply use the AADB2CBase.button widget and a beautiful sign in button appears as shown below.
Add the following /android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
inside the tags:
<meta-data android:name="flutter_deeplinking_enabled" android:value="true" />
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="https" android:host="myurl.com" />
</intent-filter>
Change the redirect URL in our flutter code to https://myurl.com/myappname
and add this as a redirect URL in the Azure AD B2C project
