Azure Core AMQP client library for JavaScript

The @azure/core-amqp package provides common functionality for Azure JavaScript libraries that use the AMQP protocol like the ones for Azure Service Bus and Azure Event Hubs.

Getting started

Installation

Install this library using npm as follows:

npm install @azure/core-amqp

Currently supported environments

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

See our support policy for more details.

Key concepts

Some of the key features of Azure Core AMQP library are:

• Claims based Authorization
• Request-Response link for sending request and receiving response over AMQP
• Error translation of AMQP error codes along with errors specific to Azure Service Bus and Azure Event Hubs.
• RetryPolicy for retrying a given operation if a retryable error was encountered.

Next steps

You can build and run the tests locally by executing npm run test. Explore the test folder to see advanced usage and behavior of the public classes.

Troubleshooting

The core-amqp library depends on the rhea-promise library for managing connections, and for sending and receiving events over the AMQP protocol.

Logging

You can set the AZURE_LOG_LEVEL environment variable to one of the following values to enable logging to stderr:

• verbose
• info
• warning
• error

You can also set the log level programmatically by importing the @azure/logger package and calling the setLogLevel function with one of the log level values. For example, when you set the log level to info, the logs that are written for levels warning and error are also emitted. This SDK follows the Azure SDK for TypeScript guidelines when determining which level to log to.

When setting a log level either programmatically or via the AZURE_LOG_LEVEL environment variable, any logs that are written using a log level equal to or less than the one you choose will be emitted.

You can alternatively set the DEBUG environment variable to get logs when using this library. This can be useful if you also want to emit logs from the dependencies rhea-promise and rhea as well.

Note: AZURE_LOG_LEVEL, if set, takes precedence over DEBUG. Do not specify any azure libraries via DEBUG when also specifying AZURE_LOG_LEVEL or calling setLogLevel.

• Getting only info level debug logs from the core-amqp library.

export DEBUG=azure:core-amqp:info

• Getting debug logs from the core-amqp and the protocol level library.

export DEBUG=azure:core-amqp:*,rhea*

• If you are not interested in viewing the raw event data (which consumes a large amount of console/disk space) then you can set the DEBUG environment variable as follows:

export DEBUG=azure:core-amqp:*,rhea*,-rhea:raw,-rhea:message

• If you are interested only in errors and SDK warnings, then you can set the DEBUG environment variable as follows:

export DEBUG=azure:core-amqp:(error|warning),rhea-promise:error,rhea:events,rhea:frames,rhea:io,rhea:flow

Logging to a file

• Set the DEBUG environment variable as shown above and then run your test script as follows:
  • Logging statements from you test script go to out.log and logging statement from the sdk go to debug.log.

    node your-test-script.js > out.log 2>debug.log
    

  • Logging statements from your test script and the sdk go to the same file out.log by redirecting stderr to stdout (&1), and then redirect stdout to a file:

    node your-test-script.js >out.log 2>&1
    

  • Logging statements from your test script and the sdk go to the same file out.log.

    node your-test-script.js &> out.log
