ldap query get all users in a group node.js - node.js

Question

failing to find any info on the matter.
I need to query an active directory server with a specified group name, and to receive back all the users it contains.
Then i can iterate through those users and use their first&last name + email + phone + accountname.
Is all that possible using Node.js?
Can someone liberate me from this headache?

Using this link:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/activedirectory#getUsersForGroup
var groupName = 'Employees';
var ad = new ActiveDirectory(config);
ad.getUsersForGroup(groupName, function(err, users) {
if (err) {
console.log('ERROR: ' +JSON.stringify(err));
return;
}
if (! users) console.log('Group: ' + groupName + ' not found.');
else {
console.log(JSON.stringify(users));
}
});

The other solution posted is for ActiveDirectory, as a more general answer, you need a query which will return the "member" attribute from a group.
I was able to accomplish this using ldapjs
import ldap from 'ldapjs'
const client = ldap.createClient({ url: ['ldap://localhost:389'] })
client.on('error', (err) => { console.log(err) } )
client.bind("cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com", "password", (err) => {console.log(err)})
function logCallback(err,res) {
if(!res) {
console.log(err)
return
}
res.on('searchRequest', (searchRequest) => {
console.log('searchRequest: ', searchRequest.messageID);
});
res.on('searchEntry', (entry) => {
console.log('entry: ' + JSON.stringify(entry.object));
});
res.on('searchReference', (referral) => {
console.log('referral: ' + referral.uris.join());
});
res.on('error', (err) => {
console.error('error: ' + err.message);
});
res.on('end', (result) => {
console.log('status: ' + result?.status);
});
}
client.search("dc=example,dc=com",{filter:"(&(objectclass=groupofnames)(cn=users))",scope:"sub"},logCallback)
> searchRequest: 8
entry: {"dn":"cn=users,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com","controls":[],"cn":"users","description":"All Users","member":["uid=user,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com","uid=user1,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com","uid=user2,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com"],"objectClass":["groupOfNames","top"]}
status: 0
The return value has a field "member" with a list of all users in the group.

exports.getUserLists = (req, res) => {
var ActiveDirectory = require('activedirectory');
var ad = new ActiveDirectory({
url: 'domainName.com',
baseDN: 'dc=domain,dc=com',
});
var opts = {
includeMembership: ['user'], // can use 'all','group','user'
baseDN: 'cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=domain,dc=com',
includeDeleted: false
};
ad.find(opts, function (err, results) {
if ((err) || (!results)) {
res.send('ERROR: ' + JSON.stringify(err));
return;
}
res.send(JSON.stringify(results))
});
