Developing a Node.js app with Cassandra API using Azure Cosmos DB

Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed multi-model database. One of the supported APIs is the Cassandra API. This sample walks you through creation of keyspace, table, inserting and querying the data.

Running this sample

• Before you can run this sample, you must have the following perquisites:
  • An active Azure Cassandra API account - If you don't have an account, refer to the Create a Cassandra API account article.
  • Node.js version v0.10.29 or higher.
  • Git.
  • Node.js driver for apache cassandra // to install the driver - run npm install cassandra-driver

1. Clone this repository using git clone git@github.com:Azure-Samples/Azure-Samples/azure-cosmos-db-cassandra-node-getting-started.git cosmosdb.

2. Change directories to the repo using cd cosmosdb

3. Next, substitute the contactPoint, username, password config.js with your Cosmos DB account's values from connectionstring panel of the portal.

   config.username = '<fillmein>';
   config.password = '<fillmein>';
   config.contactPoint = '<fillmein>:10350';
   
   

4. Run npm install in a terminal to install required npm modules

5. Run node uprofile.js in a terminal to start your start your node application.

About the code
