Classes

RestError

A custom error type for failed pipeline requests.

Interfaces

AddPipelineOptions	Options when adding a policy to the pipeline. Used to express dependencies on other policies.
Agent	An interface compatible with NodeJS's http.Agent. We want to avoid publicly re-exporting the actual interface, since it might vary across runtime versions.
AuthorizeRequestOnChallengeOptions	Options sent to the authorizeRequestOnChallenge callback
AuthorizeRequestOptions	Options sent to the authorizeRequest callback
AuxiliaryAuthenticationHeaderPolicyOptions	Options to configure the auxiliaryAuthenticationHeaderPolicy
BearerTokenAuthenticationPolicyOptions	Options to configure the bearerTokenAuthenticationPolicy
ChallengeCallbacks	Options to override the processing of Continuous Access Evaluation challenges.
DefaultRetryPolicyOptions	Options that control how to retry failed requests.
ExponentialRetryPolicyOptions	Options that control how to retry failed requests.
HttpClient	The required interface for a client that makes HTTP requests on behalf of a pipeline.
HttpHeaders	Represents a set of HTTP headers on a request/response. Header names are treated as case insensitive.
InternalPipelineOptions	Defines options that are used to configure internal options of the HTTP pipeline for an SDK client.
KeyObject	An interface compatible with NodeJS's tls.KeyObject. We want to avoid publicly re-exporting the actual interface, since it might vary across runtime versions.
LogPolicyOptions	Options to configure the logPolicy.
Pipeline	Represents a pipeline for making a HTTP request to a URL. Pipelines can have multiple policies to manage manipulating each request before and after it is made to the server.
PipelineOptions	Defines options that are used to configure the HTTP pipeline for an SDK client.
PipelinePolicy	A pipeline policy manipulates a request as it travels through the pipeline. It is conceptually a middleware that is allowed to modify the request before it is made as well as the response when it is received.
PipelineRequest	Metadata about a request being made by the pipeline.
PipelineRequestOptions	Settings to initialize a request. Almost equivalent to Partial, but url is mandatory.
PipelineResponse	Metadata about a response received by the pipeline.
PipelineRetryOptions	Options that control how to retry failed requests.
ProxySettings	Options to configure a proxy for outgoing requests (Node.js only).
PxfObject	An interface compatible with NodeJS's tls.PxfObject. We want to avoid publicly re-exporting the actual interface, since it might vary across runtime versions.
RedirectPolicyOptions	Options for how redirect responses are handled.
RestErrorOptions	The options supported by RestError.
RetryInformation	Information provided to the retry strategy about the current progress of the retry policy.
RetryModifiers	Properties that can modify the behavior of the retry policy.
RetryPolicyOptions	Options to the retryPolicy
RetryStrategy	A retry strategy is intended to define whether to retry or not, and how to retry.
SystemErrorRetryPolicyOptions	Options that control how to retry failed requests.
TelemetryOptions	Defines options that are used to configure common telemetry and tracing info
ThrottlingRetryPolicyOptions	Options that control how to retry failed requests.
TlsSettings	Represents a certificate for TLS authentication.
TracingPolicyOptions	Options to configure the tracing policy.
UserAgentPolicyOptions	Options for adding user agent details to outgoing requests.

Type Aliases

FormDataMap	A simple object that provides form data, as if from a browser form.
FormDataValue	Each form data entry can be a string or (in the browser) a Blob.
HttpMethods	Supported HTTP methods to use when making requests.
PipelinePhase	Policies are executed in phases. The execution order is: Serialize Phase Policies not in a phase Deserialize Phase Retry Phase Sign Phase
RawHttpHeaders	A HttpHeaders collection represented as a simple JSON object.
RawHttpHeadersInput	A HttpHeaders collection for input, represented as a simple JSON object.
RequestBodyType	Types of bodies supported on the request. NodeJS.ReadableStream and () => NodeJS.ReadableStream is Node only. Blob, ReadableStream, and () => ReadableStream are browser only.
SendRequest	A simple interface for making a pipeline request and receiving a response.
TransferProgressEvent	Fired in response to upload or download progress.

Functions

auxiliaryAuthenticationHeaderPolicy(AuxiliaryAuthenticationHeaderPolicyOptions)	A policy for external tokens to x-ms-authorization-auxiliary header. This header will be used when creating a cross-tenant application we may need to handle authentication requests for resources that are in different tenants. You could see ARM docs for a rundown of how this feature works
bearerTokenAuthenticationPolicy(BearerTokenAuthenticationPolicyOptions)	A policy that can request a token from a TokenCredential implementation and then apply it to the Authorization header of a request as a Bearer token.
createDefaultHttpClient()	Create the correct HttpClient for the current environment.
createEmptyPipeline()	Creates a totally empty pipeline. Useful for testing or creating a custom one.
createHttpHeaders(RawHttpHeadersInput)	Creates an object that satisfies the HttpHeaders interface.
createPipelineFromOptions(InternalPipelineOptions)	Create a new pipeline with a default set of customizable policies.
createPipelineRequest(PipelineRequestOptions)	Creates a new pipeline request with the given options. This method is to allow for the easy setting of default values and not required.
decompressResponsePolicy()	A policy to enable response decompression according to Accept-Encoding header https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Encoding
defaultRetryPolicy(DefaultRetryPolicyOptions)	A policy that retries according to three strategies: When the server sends a 429 response with a Retry-After header. When there are errors in the underlying transport layer (e.g. DNS lookup failures). Or otherwise if the outgoing request fails, it will retry with an exponentially increasing delay.
exponentialRetryPolicy(ExponentialRetryPolicyOptions)	A policy that attempts to retry requests while introducing an exponentially increasing delay.
formDataPolicy()	A policy that encodes FormData on the request into the body.
getDefaultProxySettings(string)	This method converts a proxy url into ProxySettings for use with ProxyPolicy. If no argument is given, it attempts to parse a proxy URL from the environment variables HTTPS_PROXY or HTTP_PROXY.
isRestError(unknown)	Typeguard for RestError
logPolicy(LogPolicyOptions)	A policy that logs all requests and responses.
ndJsonPolicy()	ndJsonPolicy is a policy used to control keep alive settings for every request.
proxyPolicy(ProxySettings, { customNoProxyList?: string[] })	A policy that allows one to apply proxy settings to all requests. If not passed static settings, they will be retrieved from the HTTPS_PROXY or HTTP_PROXY environment variables.
redirectPolicy(RedirectPolicyOptions)	A policy to follow Location headers from the server in order to support server-side redirection. In the browser, this policy is not used.
retryPolicy(RetryStrategy[], RetryPolicyOptions)	retryPolicy is a generic policy to enable retrying requests when certain conditions are met
setClientRequestIdPolicy(string)	Each PipelineRequest gets a unique id upon creation. This policy passes that unique id along via an HTTP header to enable better telemetry and tracing.

tlsPolicy(TlsSettings)	Gets a pipeline policy that adds the client certificate to the HttpClient agent for authentication.
tracingPolicy(TracingPolicyOptions)	A simple policy to create OpenTelemetry Spans for each request made by the pipeline that has SpanOptions with a parent. Requests made without a parent Span will not be recorded.
userAgentPolicy(UserAgentPolicyOptions)	A policy that sets the User-Agent header (or equivalent) to reflect the library version.
