#Microsoft Azure DocumentDB Node.js SDK

This project provides a node module that makes it easy to interact with Azure DocumentDB. For documentation please see the Microsoft Azure Node.js Developer Center and the NodejsDocs.

##Installation ###Core Module

The core module uses the callbacks model for responses, exposed through the DocumentClient

npm install documentdb

###Q Promises Module

The Q promises Node.js module extends our core module to uses Q promises for all calls, exposed through the DocumentClientWrapper.

npm install documentdb-q-promises

##Usage

To use this SDK to call Azure DocumentDB, you need to first create an account.

You can follow this tutorial to help you get started.

##Examples ###Hello World using Callbacks via the Core Module

var DocumentClient = require('documentdb').DocumentClient;

var host = "[hostendpoint]";                     // Add your endpoint
var masterKey = "[database account masterkey]";  // Add the massterkey of the endpoint
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);
        });
    });
});

function cleanup(client, database) {
    client.deleteDatabase(database._self, function(err) {
        if(err) console.log(err);
    })
}

###Hello World using Q Promises via the Q Promises Module

var DocumentClient = require('documentdb-q-promises').DocumentClientWrapper;

var host = "[hostendpoint]";                    // Add your endpoint
var masterKey = "[database account masterkey]"; // Add the massterkey of the endpoint
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!" };

var database, collection, document;
client.createDatabaseAsync(databaseDefinition)
    .then(function(databaseResponse) {
        database = databaseResponse.resource;
        return client.createCollectionAsync(database._self, collectionDefinition);
    })
    .then(function(collectionResponse) {
        collection = collectionResponse.resource;
        return client.createDocumentAsync(collection._self, documentDefinition);
    })
    .then(function(documentResponse) {
        var document = documentResponse.resource;
        console.log('Created Document with content: ', document.content);
        cleanup(client, database);
    })
    .fail(function(error) {
        console.log("An error occured", error);
    });

function cleanup(client, database) {
    client.deleteDatabaseAsync(database._self)
        .then(function(response) {
            console.log('clean up completed');
        })
        .fail(function(error){
            console.log(error);
        });
}
