@azure/core-util
Advanced tools
The @azure/core-util package provides a set of utilities used by Azure SDK for JavaScript packages. These utilities include functions for dealing with delays, tracing, and other common tasks that are useful when interacting with Azure services or building applications that integrate with the Azure ecosystem.
delay
Provides a way to pause execution for a specified amount of time. This is useful for implementing retries or waiting for an operation to complete.
async function main() {
await delay(1000);
console.log('Delayed for 1 second');
}
main();trace
Facilitates distributed tracing of operations, allowing for monitoring and diagnosing issues across distributed systems.
const span = createSpan('my-operation', {kind: SpanKind.INTERNAL});
try {
// operation code here
} finally {
span.end();
}Lodash is a utility library offering a wide array of functions for tasks like data manipulation, testing, and logic operations. While it doesn't focus on Azure or distributed tracing specifically, it provides general-purpose utilities that are useful in many of the same scenarios as @azure/core-util.
The async package provides utilities for working with asynchronous JavaScript, such as managing series, parallel, and waterfall control flow. It's similar to @azure/core-util in that it helps manage asynchronous operations, but it doesn't include utilities for tracing or Azure-specific integrations.
This library is intended to provide various shared utility functions for client SDK packages.
See our support policy for more details.
This package is primarily used in authoring client SDKs and not meant to be consumed directly by end users.
Utility methods provided by this library should be stateless.
Examples can be found in the samples folder.
Look at usage in dependent client SDKs.
