Azure SDK for Node.js

This project provides a Node.js package that makes it easy to consume and manage Microsoft Azure Services. It supports sdks for:

• old ASM services (packages with the naming convention of azure-asm-*)
• new ARM services (packages with the naming convention of azure-arm-*)
• data plane of some Azure services (packages with the naming convention of azure-<servicename>).

Usage

This module includes all of the individual Azure Node.js modules in a single place. If your application only needs access to specific management modules, see the list of individual modules below.

$ npm install azure

This will allow you access to some helper methods as well as all of the individual modules. For example, by installing the azure module, you can directly require and use the ms-rest-azure common module. This organization method allows for submodules (and peer dependent modules) to always be in sync with each other.

Note: We haven't provided fine-grained modules for every supported Microsoft Azure service yet. This will come soon. If there is a module that you find is missing, open an issue so that we may prioritize it in the backlog.

Documentation

Documentation of the supported sdks can be found at two places:

• https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk-for-node - This website primarily provides sdk documentation for
  • ASM based services (azure-asm-*)
  • some old data plane sdks like azure-sb, azure-scheduler, azure-storage-legacy, azure-monitoring, etc.
  • runtime sdks like ms-rest, ms-rest-azure, azure-common
• https://aka.ms/azure-node-sdk - This website primarily provides sdk documentation for
  • ARM based services (azure-arm-*)
  • newer data plane sdks like azure-batch, azure-graph, etc.

Authenticating

There are three ways to authenticate against Azure while using the management plane (azure-arm-*) sdks and the azure-graph sdk, use this guide to determine which method to use.

AzureNodeEssentials VSCode extension

The AzureNodeEssentials extension helps you easily interact with Azure. It helps you:

• create a project scaffolding
• install correct dependencies
• ready to use snippets for authentication and deploying templates to azure

Please feel free to provide feedback for the extension by opening github issues over here.
