Current behavior

I find the design of msal very confusing. Fundamentally, all most developers want to do is authenticate a user given a config. msal, in contrast, has a lot of boilerplate and confusing branching/callback/synchronization control flow.

Expected behavior

I would like a single configurable wrapper that handles the boilerplate calls to msal.

import {authenticate} from "msal";

const minimalConfigurationForMsal = { ... };
const handleUserIdentity: (token: string) => void = ...;
const handleAuthenticationFailure: (error: any) => void = ...;

authenticate(minimalConfigurationForMsal )
    .then(handleUserIdentity)
    .catch(handleAuthenticationFailure);

How would I implement this authenticate function?

@jasonnutter , this react sample is amazing! you should definitely put it in the sample pages. I’m sure it would save people a lot of time.
