Pull data from azure keyvault with node

I'm trying to pull data from Azure KeyVault with Node. I installed azure-keyvault with npm and read some of the guides that Microsoft released (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/azure-keyvault) but I can't get data to output. Just for testing purposes I'd like to do something like View contents of Secret in Azure KeyVault with node.

var KeyVault = require('azure-keyvault');
var util = require('util');
var Crypto = require('crypto');
var AuthenticationContext = require('adal-node').AuthenticationContext;

var clientId = 'xxx';
var clientSecret = 'xxx';
var vaultUri = 'xxx';

I can't find an API with a list of commands that I can do with the keyvault var, how do I pull data from keyvault?

Edit: so I have var KeyVault = require('azure-keyvault');

and the KeyVault variable can be used as an object with methods listed in here: http://azure.github.io/azure-sdk-for-node/azure-keyvault/latest/?

The package azure-keyvault has been deprecated in favor of the new packages to deal with Keyvault keys, secrets and certificates separately. For your scenario, you can use the new @azure/keyvault-secrets package.

The readme at for @azure/keyvault-secrets has a variety of code snippets you can refer to. You can refer to the entire sample set for secrets too.

To read secrets from azure key vault you can use npm library read-azure-secrets, in which you will need to pass client ID, client secret, and vault URI. It will return all secrets from your key vault. Example -

const secretClient = require('read-azure-secrets');

async function loadKeyVaultValues() {

    let applicationID = '';
    let applicationSecret = '';
    let vaultURL = 'https://<your-key-vault-name>.vault.azure.net/';
    let secrets = await secretClient.getSecrets(applicationID, applicationSecret, vaultURL);

    secrets.forEach(secret => {
        console.log(secret);
    });

}

loadKeyVaultValues();
