Azure ManagementLink client library for JavaScript - version 2.0.1
This package contains an isomorphic SDK (runs both in Node.js and in browsers) for Azure ManagementLink client.
Azure resources can be linked together to form logical relationships. You can establish links between resources belonging to different resource groups. However, all the linked resources must belong to the same subscription. Each resource can be linked to 50 other resources. If any of the linked resources are deleted or moved, the link owner must clean up the remaining link.

Getting started
Currently supported environments

See our support policy for more details.
Prerequisites
Install the @azure/arm-links
package
Install the Azure ManagementLink client library for JavaScript with npm
:
npm install @azure/arm-links
Create and authenticate a ManagementLinkClient
To create a client object to access the Azure ManagementLink API, you will need the endpoint
of your Azure ManagementLink resource and a credential
. The Azure ManagementLink client can use Azure Active Directory credentials to authenticate.
You can find the endpoint for your Azure ManagementLink resource in the Azure Portal.
You can authenticate with Azure Active Directory using a credential from the @azure/identity library or an existing AAD Token.
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 ManagementLink 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 { ManagementLinkClient } = require("@azure/arm-links");
const { DefaultAzureCredential } = require("@azure/identity");
// For client-side applications running in the browser, use InteractiveBrowserCredential instead of DefaultAzureCredential. See https://aka.ms/azsdk/js/identity/examples for more details.
const subscriptionId = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";
const client = new ManagementLinkClient(new DefaultAzureCredential(), subscriptionId);
// For client-side applications running in the browser, use this code instead:
// const credential = new InteractiveBrowserCredential({
// tenantId: "<YOUR_TENANT_ID>",
// clientId: "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>"
// });
// const client = new ManagementLinkClient(credential, subscriptionId);
JavaScript Bundle
To use this client library in the browser, first you need to use a bundler. For details on how to do this, please refer to our bundling documentation.
Key concepts
ManagementLinkClient
ManagementLinkClient
is the primary interface for developers using the Azure ManagementLink client library. Explore the methods on this client object to understand the different features of the Azure ManagementLink 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
:
const { setLogLevel } = require("@azure/logger");
setLogLevel("info");
For more detailed instructions on how to enable logs, you can look at the @azure/logger package docs.
