Getting started

Currently supported environments

• LTS versions of Node.js
• Latest versions of Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

Prerequisites

• An Azure subscription.

Install the @azure/arm-network package

Install the Azure NetworkManagement client library for JavaScript with npm:

npm install @azure/arm-network

Create and authenticate a NetworkManagementClient

To create a client object to access the Azure NetworkManagement API, you will need the endpoint of your Azure NetworkManagement resource and a credential. The Azure NetworkManagement client can use Azure Active Directory credentials to authenticate. You can find the endpoint for your Azure NetworkManagement resource in the Azure Portal.

You can authenticate with Azure Active Directory using a credential from the @azure/identity library or an existing AAD Token.

To use the DefaultAzureCredential provider shown below, or other credential providers provided with the Azure SDK, please install the @azure/identity package:

npm install @azure/identity

You will also need to register a new AAD application and grant access to Azure NetworkManagement by assigning the suitable role to your service principal (note: roles such as "Owner" will not grant the necessary permissions). Set the values of the client ID, tenant ID, and client secret of the AAD application as environment variables: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET.

For more information about how to create an Azure AD Application check out this guide.

const { NetworkManagementClient } = require("@azure/arm-network");
const { DefaultAzureCredential } = require("@azure/identity");
const subscriptionId = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";
const client = new NetworkManagementClient(new DefaultAzureCredential(), subscriptionId);

Key concepts

NetworkManagementClient

NetworkManagementClient is the primary interface for developers using the Azure NetworkManagement client library. Explore the methods on this client object to understand the different features of the Azure NetworkManagement service that you can access.

Troubleshooting

Logging

Enabling logging may help uncover useful information about failures. In order to see a log of HTTP requests and responses, set the AZURE_LOG_LEVEL environment variable to info. Alternatively, logging can be enabled at runtime by calling setLogLevel in the @azure/logger:

const { setLogLevel } = require("@azure/logger");
setLogLevel("info");

For more detailed instructions on how to enable logs, you can look at the @azure/logger package docs.
