Isomorphic Azure client runtime for Typescript/node.js/browser javascript client libraries generated using AutoRest
@azure/ms-rest-azure-js is a library that provides Azure-specific implementations of the ms-rest-js interfaces. It is used to handle authentication, HTTP requests, and responses when interacting with Azure services.
Authentication
This feature allows you to authenticate with Azure using a service principal and secret. The code sample demonstrates how to use the `loginWithServicePrincipalSecret` method to obtain credentials.
const msRestAzure = require('@azure/ms-rest-azure-js');
const loginWithServicePrincipalSecret = msRestAzure.loginWithServicePrincipalSecret;
const clientId = 'your-client-id';
const secret = 'your-secret';
const domain = 'your-tenant-id';
loginWithServicePrincipalSecret(clientId, secret, domain).then((credentials) => {
console.log('Authenticated successfully');
}).catch((err) => {
console.error('Authentication failed', err);
});
HTTP Requests
This feature allows you to make authenticated HTTP requests to Azure services. The code sample demonstrates how to create and sign a request using the obtained credentials.
const msRestAzure = require('@azure/ms-rest-azure-js');
const loginWithServicePrincipalSecret = msRestAzure.loginWithServicePrincipalSecret;
const { WebResource } = require('@azure/ms-rest-js');
const clientId = 'your-client-id';
const secret = 'your-secret';
const domain = 'your-tenant-id';
loginWithServicePrincipalSecret(clientId, secret, domain).then((credentials) => {
const request = new WebResource();
request.url = 'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions?api-version=2020-01-01';
request.method = 'GET';
credentials.signRequest(request).then((signedRequest) => {
console.log('Signed request:', signedRequest);
});
}).catch((err) => {
console.error('Authentication failed', err);
});
Handling Responses
This feature allows you to handle responses from Azure services. The code sample demonstrates how to send a signed request and handle the response, including status and body.
const msRestAzure = require('@azure/ms-rest-azure-js');
const loginWithServicePrincipalSecret = msRestAzure.loginWithServicePrincipalSecret;
const { WebResource, HttpOperationResponse } = require('@azure/ms-rest-js');
const clientId = 'your-client-id';
const secret = 'your-secret';
const domain = 'your-tenant-id';
loginWithServicePrincipalSecret(clientId, secret, domain).then((credentials) => {
const request = new WebResource();
request.url = 'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions?api-version=2020-01-01';
request.method = 'GET';
credentials.signRequest(request).then((signedRequest) => {
signedRequest.send().then((response) => {
console.log('Response status:', response.status);
console.log('Response body:', response.bodyAsText);
});
});
}).catch((err) => {
console.error('Authentication failed', err);
});
@azure/identity provides a unified way to authenticate with Azure services. It supports various authentication methods, including managed identities, service principals, and interactive browser authentication. Compared to @azure/ms-rest-azure-js, it offers more modern and flexible authentication options.
@azure/ms-rest-js is a core library for handling HTTP requests and responses. It provides the foundational components used by @azure/ms-rest-azure-js but does not include Azure-specific authentication mechanisms. It is more general-purpose and can be used for any HTTP-based service.
@azure/core-http is part of the Azure SDK for JavaScript and provides HTTP client functionality. It is designed to be used with the new Azure SDK libraries and offers improved performance and usability compared to @azure/ms-rest-azure-js.
