azure-devops-node-api
Advanced tools
The azure-devops-node-api package is a Node.js library that provides an interface to interact with Azure DevOps services. It allows developers to automate and manage various aspects of Azure DevOps, such as work items, builds, releases, and more.
Work Item Tracking
This feature allows you to interact with work items in Azure DevOps. The code sample demonstrates how to retrieve work items by their IDs.
const azdev = require('azure-devops-node-api');
const orgUrl = 'https://dev.azure.com/yourorganization';
const token = 'yourPAT';
const authHandler = azdev.getPersonalAccessTokenHandler(token);
const connection = new azdev.WebApi(orgUrl, authHandler);
async function getWorkItems() {
const witApi = await connection.getWorkItemTrackingApi();
const workItems = await witApi.getWorkItems([1, 2, 3]);
console.log(workItems);
}
getWorkItems();Build Management
This feature allows you to manage builds in Azure DevOps. The code sample demonstrates how to retrieve a list of builds for a specific project.
const azdev = require('azure-devops-node-api');
const orgUrl = 'https://dev.azure.com/yourorganization';
const token = 'yourPAT';
const authHandler = azdev.getPersonalAccessTokenHandler(token);
const connection = new azdev.WebApi(orgUrl, authHandler);
async function getBuilds() {
const buildApi = await connection.getBuildApi();
const builds = await buildApi.getBuilds('yourProject');
console.log(builds);
}
getBuilds();Release Management
This feature allows you to manage releases in Azure DevOps. The code sample demonstrates how to retrieve a list of releases for a specific project.
const azdev = require('azure-devops-node-api');
const orgUrl = 'https://dev.azure.com/yourorganization';
const token = 'yourPAT';
const authHandler = azdev.getPersonalAccessTokenHandler(token);
const connection = new azdev.WebApi(orgUrl, authHandler);
async function getReleases() {
const releaseApi = await connection.getReleaseApi();
const releases = await releaseApi.getReleases('yourProject');
console.log(releases);
}
getReleases();The azure-devops-extension-api package provides APIs for developing extensions for Azure DevOps. It focuses on extending the capabilities of Azure DevOps through custom extensions, whereas azure-devops-node-api is more about automating and managing Azure DevOps services.
The azure-sdk-for-js package is a collection of libraries for interacting with various Azure services. While it includes libraries for Azure DevOps, it is broader in scope and covers many other Azure services, unlike azure-devops-node-api which is specifically focused on Azure DevOps.
Integrate with Azure DevOps from your Node.js apps.
npm install azure-devops-node-api --save
vso-node-api has been renamed and released as azure-devops-node-api
See samples for complete coding examples
npm install azure-devops-node-api --save
import * as azdev from "azure-devops-node-api";
// your collection url
let orgUrl = "https://dev.azure.com/yourorgname";
let token: string = process.env.AZURE_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN;
let authHandler = azdev.getPersonalAccessTokenHandler(token);
let connection = new azdev.WebApi(orgUrl, authHandler);
Please note that some API's (e.g. ProfileApi) can't be hit at the org level, and has to be hit at the deployment level, so url should be structured like https://vssps.dev.azure.com/{yourorgname}
import * as ba from "azure-devops-node-api/BuildApi";
let build: ba.IBuildApi = await connection.getBuildApi();
These clients are available:
Coding is easy using linear coding with async/await in TypeScript
import * as bi from "azure-devops-node-api/interfaces/BuildInterfaces";
async function run() {
let project: string = "myProject";
let defs: bi.DefinitionReference[] = await build.getDefinitions(project);
defs.forEach((defRef: bi.DefinitionReference) => {
console.log(`${defRef.name} (${defRef.id})`);
});
}
run();
To see what APIs are available, see the appropriate client interface. For example, GitApi.ts
More detailed information for the endpoints of each API can be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/vsts/?view=vsts-rest-4.1
Pre-reqs: Node >= 4.4.7 LTS and typescript (tsc) >= 1.8
Run npm install first
Set environment variables using set or export:
API_URL=https://dev.azure.com/yourorgname
// use your token
API_TOKEN=cbdeb34vzyuk5l4gxc4qfczn3lko3avfkfqyb47etahq6axpcqha
API_PROJECT=myProject
Run samples:
$ npm run samples
Run a specific sample:
$ npm run samples -- projectAnalysis
