# Microsoft Azure SDK for Node.js - Cognitive Services Face

This project provides a Node.js package that makes it easy to work with the Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services Face API. Right now it supports:
- **Node.js version: 6.x or higher**


## How to Install

```bash
npm install azure-cognitiveservices-face
```

## How to use

### Create a Cognitive Services Account(ex. Face)

```javascript
  const msRestAzure = require('ms-rest-azure');
  const CognitiveServicesManagement = require("azure-arm-cognitiveservices");
  let client;
  let createAccount = msRestAzure.interactiveLogin().then((credentials) => {
    client = new CognitiveServicesManagement(credentials, suite.subscriptionId);
    return client.accounts.create('groupname', 'accountname', {
      sku: {
        name: "S1"
      },
      kind: "Face",
      location: "westus",
      properties: {}
    });
  }).catch((err) => {
    console.log('An error ocurred');
    console.dir(err, {depth: null, colors: true});
  });
```

### List the keys from the created account

```javascript
  let serviceKey;
  createAccount.then((result) => {
    return client.accounts.listKeys('groupname', 'accountname');
  }).then((result) => {
    serviceKey = result.key1;
    console.log(result.key2);
  }).catch((err) => {
    console.log('An error ocurred');
    console.dir(err, {depth: null, colors: true});
  });
```

### Create credentials

 ```javascript
 const CognitiveServicesCredentials = require('ms-rest-azure').CognitiveServicesCredentials;

 // Creating the Cognitive Services credentials
 // This requires a key corresponding to the service being used (i.e. text-analytics, etc)
 let credentials = new CognitiveServicesCredentials(serviceKey);
 ```

 ### Face API

 ```javascript
 const FaceAPIClient = require('azure-cognitiveservices-face');

 let client = new FaceAPIClient(credentials);

 let fileStream = fs.createReadStream('pathToSomeImage.jpg');
 client.face.detectInStreamWithHttpOperationResponse(fileStream, {
   returnFaceId: true,
   returnFaceAttributes: 'age,gender,headPose,smile,facialHair,glasses,emotion,hair,makeup,occlusion,accessories,exposure,noise'
 }).then((httpResponse) => {
   console.log(httpResponse.response.body);
 }).catch((err) => {
   throw err;
 });
 ```
