Getting started

Currently supported environments

LTS versions of Node.js
Latest versions of Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

Install the `@azure/arm-templatespecs` package

Install the Azure TemplateSpecs client library for JavaScript with npm:

npm install @azure/arm-templatespecs

Create and authenticate a `TemplateSpecsClient`

To create a client object to access the Azure TemplateSpecs API, you will need the endpoint of your Azure TemplateSpecs resource and a credential. The Azure TemplateSpecs client can use Azure Active Directory credentials to authenticate. You can find the endpoint for your Azure TemplateSpecs resource in the Azure Portal.

Using an Azure Active Directory Credential

You can authenticate with Azure Active Directory using the Azure Identity library. To use the DefaultAzureCredential provider shown below, or other credential providers provided with the Azure SDK, please install the @azure/identity package:

npm install @azure/identity

You will also need to register a new AAD application and grant access to Azure TemplateSpecs by assigning the suitable role to your service principal (note: roles such as "Owner" will not grant the necessary permissions). Set the values of the client ID, tenant ID, and client secret of the AAD application as environment variables: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET.

For more information about how to create an Azure AD Application check out this guide.

const { TemplateSpecsClient } = require("@azure/arm-templatespecs");
const { DefaultAzureCredential } = require("@azure/identity");
const subscriptionId = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";
const client = new TemplateSpecsClient(new DefaultAzureCredential(), subscriptionId);

Key concepts

TemplateSpecsClient

TemplateSpecsClient is the primary interface for developers using the Azure TemplateSpecs client library. Explore the methods on this client object to understand the different features of the Azure TemplateSpecs service that you can access.

Troubleshooting

Logging

Enabling logging may help uncover useful information about failures. In order to see a log of HTTP requests and responses, set the AZURE_LOG_LEVEL environment variable to info. Alternatively, logging can be enabled at runtime by calling setLogLevel in the @azure/logger:

import { setLogLevel } from "@azure/logger";
setLogLevel("info");

For more detailed instructions on how to enable logs, you can look at the @azure/logger package docs.
