azure-publishsettings-parser

A node.js utility to parse the Windows Azure publishsettings file, and create ServiceManagementService objects to work with the Azure Service Management API.

A publishsettings file contains the information, including the certificates, required to connect to the Windows Azure Service Management API.

Your file can be downloaded from here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=254432

Installation

$ node install azure-publishsettings-parser

Usage

var parser = require('azure-publishsettings-parser');
parser.loadFromFile('my.publishsettings', function(err, subscriptions){
 
    // the parser will provide an array of subscriptions on a callback
    subscriptions.forEach(function(subscription){
 
        console.log(subscription.Name);
        console.log(subscription.Id);
        console.log(subscription.ManagementCertificate);
 
    });
});

You can also parse the settings file from a string:

parser.loadFromString("<xml...>", function(err, subscriptions){
    ...
});

When you have found the subscription you want (often there is only one!) you can create an instance of Windows Azure Service Management Service:

var azure = require('azure');
var sms = parser.createServiceManagementService(azure, subscription);
sms.listStorageAccounts(function(err,data){
    console.log(data.body);
});

For more information on the ServiceManagementService see the Microsoft documentation:
