Azure DevOps Client for Node.js

Integrate with Azure DevOps from your Node.js apps.

Install the library

npm install azure-devops-node-api --save

News

Get started

Samples

See samples for complete coding examples

Install the library

npm install azure-devops-node-api --save

Create a connection

1import * as azdev from "azure-devops-node-api";
2
3// your collection url
4let orgUrl = "https://dev.azure.com/yourorgname";
5
6let token: string = process.env.AZURE_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN;
7
8let authHandler = azdev.getPersonalAccessTokenHandler(token); 
9let connection = new azdev.WebApi(orgUrl, authHandler);    

Please note that some API's (e.g. ProfileApi) can't be hit at the org level, and has to be hit at the deployment level, so url should be structured like https://vssps.dev.azure.com/{yourorgname}

Get an instance of a client

1import * as ba from "azure-devops-node-api/BuildApi";
2
3let build: ba.IBuildApi = await connection.getBuildApi();

Use the client

Coding is easy using linear coding with async/await in TypeScript

1import * as bi from "azure-devops-node-api/interfaces/BuildInterfaces";
2
3async function run() {
4    let project: string = "myProject";
5    let defs: bi.DefinitionReference[] = await build.getDefinitions(project);
6
7    defs.forEach((defRef: bi.DefinitionReference) => {
8        console.log(`${defRef.name} (${defRef.id})`);
9    });    
10}
11
12run();

APIs

To see what APIs are available, see the appropriate client interface. For example, GitApi.ts

More detailed information for the endpoints of each API can be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/vsts/?view=vsts-rest-4.1
