Visual Studio Team Services Client for Node.js

Integrate with Visual Studio Team Services from your Node.js apps.

News

6.3.2 has been released and is out of preview. This release contains the latest generated 4.0 VSTS/TFS api contracts. It also consumes the latest typed-rest-client.

Note: as of released 6.3.2 version, the web api create methods need to be async so you must use await. For example, note the await in this sample

Get started

Samples

See samples for complete coding examples

Install the library

npm install vso-node-api --save

Create a connection

let vsts = require('vso-node-api');

// your collection url
let collectionUrl = "https://fabrikam.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection";

// ideally from config
let token: string = "cbdeb34vzyuk5l4gxc4qfczn3lko3avfkfqyb47etahq6axpcqha"; 

let authHandler = vsts.getPersonalAccessTokenHandler(token); 
let connect = new vsts.WebApi(collectionUrl, authHandler);    

Get an instance of a client

import * as ba from 'vso-node-api/BuildApi';

let vstsBuild: ba.IBuildApi = connection.getBuildApi();

Use the client

async function run() {
    let project: string = 'myProject';
    let defs: bi.DefinitionReference[] = await vstsBuild.getDefinitions(project);

    defs.forEach((defRef: bi.DefinitionReference) => {
        console.log(defRef.name + ' (' + defRef.id + ')');
    });    
}

run();
