npm install azure-event-hubs node.js

Question

I tried to set up a node.js to simulate inputs to an azure Event Hub.

A) when i tried to install thru: 》npm install azure-event-hubs I got the warning message:

npm WARN deprecated crypto@0.0.3: This package is no longer supported. It's now a built-in Node module. If you've depended on crypto, you should switch to the one that's built-in.

Does this mean it is still working? just a warningmessage?

B) As my susbequent node.js script failed to accept the connection string i copied from my Azure Event Hub:

Code: var EventHubClient = require('azure-event-hubs').Client;

var connStr = 'Endpoint=sb://abrstrial.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=DeviceAccess;SharedAccessKey=Npb.....................

(errors)

E:\\Azure ML\\LAB04\\fitness_device\\node_modules\\azure-event-hubs\\lib\\client.js:92 throw new ArgumentError('Connection string doesn\\'t have EntityPath, or missing argument path'); ^ ArgumentError: Connection string doesn't have EntityPath, or missing argument path at Function.EventHubClient.fromConnectionString (E:\\Azure ML\\LAB04\\fitness_device\\node_modules\\azure-event-hubs\\lib\\client.js:92:11) at Object.

Would it be due to different access method to Azure classic vs ARM portal? or it is a node.js compilation problem?

npm WARN deprecated crypto@0.0.3: This package is no longer supported. It's now a built-in Node module. If you've depended on crypto, you should switch to the one that's built-in.

This SDK is currently in preview, and is maintained by Microsoft employees and external contributors in their free time. For offical SDKs please see:

• Event Hubs .NET SDK
• Event Hubs Java SDK

E:\\Azure ML\\LAB04\\fitness_device\\node_modules\\azure-event-hubs\\lib\\client.js:92 throw new ArgumentError('Connection string doesn\\'t have EntityPath, or missing argument path');

The connection string will have the following format:

Endpoint=sb://[your event hub namespace].servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=[your policy name];SharedAccessKey=[key];EntityPath=[your event hub entity name]

You can add an entity like this:

And then use this entity's connection string.
