What are ms-rest-azure's main functionalities?

Authentication with Azure

This feature allows you to authenticate with Azure using a service principal. The code sample demonstrates how to log in using a client ID, secret, and domain.

const msRestAzure = require('ms-rest-azure');
msRestAzure.loginWithServicePrincipalSecret(clientId, secret, domain, (err, credentials) => {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  console.log('Authenticated successfully');
});

Creating a Resource Management Client

This feature allows you to create a client for managing Azure resources. The code sample shows how to create a Resource Management Client after authenticating with Azure.

const msRestAzure = require('ms-rest-azure');
const AzureArmResource = require('azure-arm-resource');
msRestAzure.loginWithServicePrincipalSecret(clientId, secret, domain, (err, credentials) => {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  const client = new AzureArmResource.ResourceManagementClient(credentials, subscriptionId);
  console.log('Resource Management Client created successfully');
});

Listing Resource Groups

This feature allows you to list all resource groups in a subscription. The code sample demonstrates how to list resource groups using the Resource Management Client.

const msRestAzure = require('ms-rest-azure');
const AzureArmResource = require('azure-arm-resource');
msRestAzure.loginWithServicePrincipalSecret(clientId, secret, domain, (err, credentials) => {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  const client = new AzureArmResource.ResourceManagementClient(credentials, subscriptionId);
  client.resourceGroups.list((err, result) => {
    if (err) return console.log(err);
    console.log('Resource Groups:', result);
  });
});
