@azure/service-bus

This sdk provides a convenient way to interact with the Azure Service Bus.

Pre-requisite

Node.js version: 6.x or higher.
We would still encourage you to install the latest available LTS version at any given time from https://nodejs.org. It is a good practice to always install the latest available LTS version of node.js.
Installing node.js on Windows or macOS is very simple with available installers on the node.js website. If you are using a linux based OS, then you can find easy to follow, one step installation instructions over here.

Installation

npm install @azure/service-bus

IDE

This sdk has been developed in TypeScript and has good source code documentation. It is highly recommended to use vscode or any other IDE that provides better intellisense and exposes the full power of source code documentation.

Debug logs

You can set the following environment variable to get the debug logs.

Getting debug logs from the Service Bus SDK

export DEBUG=azure*

Getting debug logs from the Service Bus SDK and the protocol level library.

export DEBUG=azure*,rhea*

If you are not interested in viewing the message transformation (which consumes lot of console/disk space) then you can set the DEBUG environment variable as follows:

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

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

export DEBUG=azure:service-bus:error,azure-amqp-common:error,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
```
