Detecting the end of an Azure Batch job

In my application I create an Azure batch job. It's a Node app and I use an azure-batch Node client, but I could also be using REST, I don't think it matters. I can't switch to a C# client, however.

I expect the job to be completed in a few seconds and I wish to pause the code until the batch job is over but I am not sure how to detect the end of the job without polling the Job Status API. Neither the Node client nor the REST API exposes such functionality. I thought I could maybe register for an event of some sort but was not able to find anything like that. There are job release tasks but I am not sure if I can achieve this using them.

Any ideas how the end of an Azure batch job can be detected from within my application?

One way to do this is once you add your tasks to the job, set the job's onAllTasksComplete property to 'terminatejob'.

Then you can poll the Job-Get API, and check the state property on the job for when the job is complete (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/batchservice/job/get#jobstate or https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/azure-batch/job?view=azure-node-latest#get-string--object-).
