How to use the Azure IoT Provisioning Service SDK for Node.js

Once you have installed the package as indicated above, you can start using the features of the Service SDK in your code. Below is a code snippet showing how to add a new enrollment in the provisioning registry:

Note that for this sample to work, you will need to setup your IoT Provisioning Service and retrieve credentials for the service app.

var provisioningServiceClient = require('azure-iot-provisioning-service').ProvisioningServiceClient;

var serviceClient = provisioningServiceClient.fromConnectionString(process.argv[2]);

var enrollment = {
  registrationId: 'first',
  attestation: {
    type: 'tpm',
    tpm: {
      endorsementKey: 'a'
    }
  }
};

serviceClient.createOrUpdateIndividualEnrollment(enrollment, function(err, enrollmentResponse) {
  if (err) {
    console.log('error creating the enrollment: ' + err);
  } else {
    console.log("enrollment record returned: " + JSON.stringify(enrollmentResponse, null, 2))
  }
});
