Example To Access Azure Cosmos DB With NodeJS
Go to data explorer from left navigation and click on new container . Give new databaseid and container name. Also provide partition key for container . Configure other settings as per your requirement or leave as default . Then Click on create .
Once the database is created, you need to install azure cosmosDB sdk for nodejs using npm run below command to install the sdk
npm install @azure/cosmos
Now create file called app.js and import sdk then create connection as below . Make sure you replace the endpoint and key with your original values .
Node
const endpoint = “YOUR_COSMOSDB_ENDPOINT”;
const key = “YOUR_COSMOSDB_KEY”;
const client = new CosmosClient({ endpoint, key });
- In this article we will write code for creating item in azure cosmosDB . Replace database and container ID’s with your original ID’s .The following code will create item with id “gfg1” and name “gfg Item”.
Node
const container = database.container(Your_containerId);
const newItem = { id: “gfg1”, name: “gfg Item” };
const { resource: createdItem } = await container.items.create(newItem);
console.log(`Created item with id: ${createdItem.id}`);
- Once you write above code run it using below command .
node app.js
- You should see similar output as below.
- You can also see inserted item under data explorer by navigating to your database and container.
