Windows Azure DocumentDB SDK: node.js

Windows Azure DocumentDB nodejs SDK

DocumentDB is a purpose built NoSQL JSON document database designed for modern mobile and web applications. DocumentDB supports rich queries over JSON data as well as,
transactional execution of JavaScript based application logic. DocumentDB is built with a deep commitment to the JSON data model enabling it to offer differentiated query and data
processing capabilities that scale to meet the needs of the most demanding modern applications.

The Nodejs sdk uses callbacks model for responses and this is exposed in DocumentClient

Installing the library using npm

var client = new DocumentClient(host, {masterKey: masterKey});
var databaseDefinition = { id: "sample database" };
var collectionDefinition = { id: "sample collection" };
var documentDefinition = { id: "hello world doc", content: "Hello World!" };
client.createDatabase(databaseDefinition, function(err, database) {
if(err) return console.log(err);
console.log('created db');
client.createCollection(database._self, collectionDefinition, function(err, collection) {
    if(err) return console.log(err);
    
    console.log('created collection');
    
    client.createDocument(collection._self, documentDefinition, function(err, document) {
        if(err) return console.log(err);
        
        console.log('Created Document with content: ', document.content);
        cleanup(client, database);
