Package version

Azure Schema Registry client library for JavaScript

Azure Schema Registry is a schema repository service hosted by Azure Event Hubs, providing schema storage, versioning, and management. The registry is leveraged by serializers to reduce payload size while describing payload structure with schema identifiers rather than full schemas.

Getting started

  • Node.js version 8.x.x or higher

Prerequisites

Install the @azure/schema-registry package

Install the Azure Text Analytics client library for JavaScript with npm:

npm install @azure/schema-registry

Create and authenticate a SchemaRegistryClient

To create a client object to access the Schema Registry API, you will need the endpoint of your Schema Registry resource and a credential. The Schema Registry client uses Azure Active Directory credentials to authenticate.

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

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.

const { DefaultAzureCredential } = require("@azure/identity");
const { SchemaRegistryClient } = require("@azure/schema-registry");

const client = new SchemaRegistryClient("<endpoint>", new DefaultAzureCredential());

Key concepts

SchemaRegistryClient

SchemaRegistryClient provides the API for storing and retrieving schemas in schema registry.

SchemaRegistry serializers

Examples

Register a schema

const { DefaultAzureCredential } = require("@azure/identity");
const { SchemaRegistryClient } = require("@azure/schema-registry");

const client = new SchemaRegistryClient("<endpoint>", new DefaultAzureCredential());

const description = {
  name: "<name>",
  group: "<group>",
  serializationType: "<serialization type>"
  content: "<schema content>"
}

const registered = await client.registerSchema(description);
console.log(registered.id);

Get ID of existing schema

const { DefaultAzureCredential } = require("@azure/identity");
const { SchemaRegistryClient } = require("@azure/schema-registry");

const client = new SchemaRegistryClient("<endpoint>", new DefaultAzureCredential());

const description = {
  name: "<name>",
  group: "<group>",
  serializationType: "<serialization type>"
  content: "<schema content>"
}

const found = await client.getSchemaId(description);
console.log(`Got schema ID=${found.id}`);

Get content of existing schema by ID

const { DefaultAzureCredential } = require("@azure/identity");
const { SchemaRegistryClient } = require("@azure/schema-registry");

const client = new SchemaRegistryClient("<endpoint>", new DefaultAzureCredential());
const foundSchema = await client.getSchemaById("<id>");
console.log(`Got schema content=${foundSchema.content}`);

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:

const { setLogLevel } = require("@azure/logger");

setLogLevel("info");
