Microsoft Azure SDK for Node.js - Data Lake Store

This project provides a Node.js package that makes it easy to manage Azure Data Lake Store accounts.

Right now it supports:

• Node.js version: 6.x.x or higher

Features

• Account management: create, get, list, update, and delete.
• File system management: create, get, upload, append, download, read, delete, list.

How to Install

npm install azure-arm-datalake-store

How to Use

Authentication, account and filesystem client creation and listing file status as an example

 var msRestAzure = require('ms-rest-azure');
 var adlsManagement = require("azure-arm-datalake-store");

 // Interactive Login
 // It provides a url and code that needs to be copied and pasted in a browser and authenticated over there. If successful, 
 // the user will get a DeviceTokenCredentials object.
 msRestAzure.interactiveLogin(function(err, credentials) {
  var accountName = 'testadlsacct';
  var pathToEnumerate = '/myfolder';
  var acccountClient = new adlsManagement.DataLakeStoreAccountClient(credentials, 'your-subscription-id');
  var filesystemClient = new adlsManagement.DataLakeStoreFileSystemClient(credentials);
  filesystemClient.fileSystem.listFileStatus(accountName, pathToEnumerate, function(err, result, request, response) {
    if (err) console.log(err);
    console.log(result);
  });
 });

Create a Data Lake Store Account

var util = require('util');
var resourceGroupName = 'testrg';
var accountName = 'testadlsacct';
var location = 'eastus2';

// account object to create
var accountToCreate = {
  tags: {
    testtag1: 'testvalue1',
    testtag2: 'testvalue2'
  },
  location: location
};

client.account.create(resourceGroupName, accountName, accountToCreate, function (err, result, request, response) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
    /*err has reference to the actual request and response, so you can see what was sent and received on the wire.
      The structure of err looks like this:
      err: {
        code: 'Error Code',
        message: 'Error Message',
        body: 'The response body if any',
        request: reference to a stripped version of http request
        response: reference to a stripped version of the response
      }
    */
  } else {
    console.log('result is: ' + util.inspect(result, {depth: null}));
  }
});

Create a file with content

var util = require('util');
var accountName = 'testadlsacct';
var fileToCreate = '/myfolder/myfile.txt';
var options = {
  streamContents: new Buffer('some string content')
}

filesystemClient.fileSystem.listFileStatus(accountName, fileToCreate, options, function (err, result, request, response) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
  } else {
    // no result is returned, only a 201 response for success.
    console.log('response is: ' + util.inspect(response, {depth: null}));
  }
});

Get a list of files and folders

var util = require('util');
var accountName = 'testadlsacct';
var pathToEnumerate = '/myfolder';
filesystemClient.fileSystem.listFileStatus(accountName, pathToEnumerate, function (err, result, request, response) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
  } else {
    console.log('result is: ' + util.inspect(result, {depth: null}));
  }
});
