azure-sdk-for-js/documentation/how-to-use.md

In this document, we will give a brief introduction on how to use the JavaScript SDK for new users

1. Prepare your environment.
   NodeJS: can be installed from https://nodejs.org/en/download/
   typescript: install it with npm install -g typescript.

2. Create a empty folder and cd this folder.

   mkdir jstest
   cd jstest
   

3. Initialize a new node project.

   npm init
   

   This step will create a package.json file in current folder.

4. Install dependencies.

   // install @azure/identity, you can use @azure/identity to do the authentication work.
   npm install @azure/identity
   
   // Then install your target try out package,  you can install the latest published with
   npm install @azure/arm-XXX 
   //  or install it from your local JS SDK artifact file. 
   npm install D:\\dev\\test\\test-compute\\azure-arm-XXX-1.0.0.tgz
   
   

   In the case of verifying the unpublished packages, you may download the artifact from either rest api specs CI pipeline or from the release request issue that we provided.

5. Create a ts file (free name and copy follow code into this file) eg: test_1.ts eg：

       import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";
       import{ TargetManagementClient } from "@azure/arm-target";
   
       const subscriptionId = process.env.SUBSCRIPTION_ID || '';
       const credentials=new DefaultAzureCredential();
   
       async function test() {
           const client = new TargetManagementClient(credentials, subscriptionId);
           const result = await client.operations.list();
           // you can test that you need test operation
           console.log("The result is:\n");
           console.log(result);
       }
   
       test();
   

   In the example, we only add client.operations.list(), you may change them into other resources CURD function per your need.
   for example：

   const client = new ComputeManagementClient(credentials, subscriptionID);
   const result= await client.galleries.beginCreateOrUpdateAndWait(resourceGroupName, galleryName, gallery);
   const result= await client.galleryImages.begincreateOrUpdateAndWait(resourceGroupName, galleryName, galleryImageName, galleryImage);
   

6. Install all the dependencies

   npm install // need to make sure package.json exists and has contained at step 4.
   

7. Compile the ts file.

   tsc test_1.ts
   

   it will generate a test_1.js file in current folder.

8. Run the code.

   node test_1.js
   

   Now you can see expected response.
